At this intimate, New American West Village eatery, the brunch menu features a burrata-filled grilled cheese sandwich, accompanied by basil, romesco sauce and a choice of bacon or chorizo. Read more

Little, cozy, chic and with a menu so good that you would like to try it all. I went for brunch and had French toasts. I would come back just for them. Delish:)

Awesome spot for brunch! Start with the Bloody Mary (with fried pork belly and rock shrimp) or the individual French press coffe and end with their very yummy spin on… (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Cod fritters, branzino and beef cheek we're delicious! But if ordering a la carte one starter and one main is more than enough even though they recommend 3-4 dishes.
Susan J CampbellJanuary 16, 2016
Wait staff is really nice and excellent at arranging wine pairings. Seared fois gras, rabbit pot pie, tuna, and s'mores all fabulous. Great place.

A Parisian inspired Thanksgiving meal is on the menu including pumpkin espuma with bay scallops, pear, roasted sablefish with chicken dumplings & turkey roulade with chestnut and cranberries.

Incredibly delicious small plates place. Can't go wrong with the 5 course tasting menu! They will adjust to your tastes or just surprise you.
BenFebruary 21, 2015
Well plated dishes, open kitchen, small portions - cooked just right. Share some plates and get a bottle of wine from their surprisingly well stocked selection.
Mark HrywnaAugust 11, 2013
S'mores on the dessert menu = best $8 you will ever spend. The spaghetti special w truffles was super too. But get the S'mores. Make love to them.

Grub Street off-menu dish: Foie-and-Langoustine Wellington. "Instead of beef Wellington, the staff swaps in langoustine & fatty goose liver into a tiny puff pastry shell w a Japanese red curry sauce."

Quintessential West Village spot. The spicy sweetbreads satisfy, as does the scallops and lobster risotto. The special Caipirinha made with apple/beet juice and fresh ginger, fantastic.
Valerie BrownJuly 1, 2012
The PB&J French toast must be tried but great for sharing at the table, otherwise it will put you in a coma. Everyone talks about the smores dessert but we didn't make it that far.

Go to Recette for the "Smores" (Graham Cracker ice cream with toasted marshmallow and chocolate ganache) and the other tasty dishes on its smart menu. Read more

Get pre fixe menu and make sure you get different dishes. That way you can share and experience every bite. Get all extras on the menu. Caviar is good quality, but too expensive for small amount.
Tarik HartJanuary 5, 2015
Quintessential spot in the West Village for a date...and Jesse's menu never let's you down.
Tara RoffersDecember 22, 2010
stellar service with plates to match, cod fritters & pulled pork are a must to start, your challenge is deciding on mains: sweetbreads (yum!), pork belly, venison & duck breast - all good, what a gem!
HOBNOB MagazineFebruary 21, 2011
inventive combinations, quintessential w vill spot, Leblon Fresca cocktail: Apple Juice, Beet Juice, Fresh Ginger. see photos: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=247963&id=765634189&l=09eab2acbf

Good for a splurge. Get bone marrow toast, duck breast with spring bean cassoulet, and Christina Lee's take on the s'more—graham cracker ice cream, toasted marshmallow, peppery "hot" chocolate ganache
Bullfrog & BaumJanuary 25, 2011
One of Sifton's favorites of 2010 this small spot had a huge year. Jesse Schenker's is menu is always changing but some staples are the Salt Cod Fritters and the Berkshire Pork Belly.

You can get one of our fav tasting menus here (five or seven courses) and this re-invented French spot is also one of the year’s best restaurants from Where to Eat 2011! Read more

From the short, but diverse, brunch menu, try the dish of perfectly cooked sunny-side-up eggs with a tangy green salad, potatoes cooked in duck fat and three strips of bacon. Read more

Amazing food wonderful ambiance. Try the halibut, branzino and cheeses. Ask for jess to be your waitress. She's great. NYT write up last week. Stroll through the village to walk off the calories
Georges DuvergerJuly 10, 2012
Get there (i.e. book) after 9:30pm when the restaurant gets less crowded, otherwise it can be noisy. Great service!
Amber VittoriaApril 13, 2015
Incredible for dinner. Amazing drinks, and the Hamachi was the best of our plates.
Tian XieOctober 24, 2015
The bone marrow toast was not what I thought, but combined with roe it was beyond my imagination.
Kate HuyettMay 15, 2011
For brunch menu, scallop salad and the sweet pea soup with foie gras is amazing. For wine, there's a $60 Chardonnay that's great
Branzino BandiniJune 13, 2012
PB&J pain perdu. The chef's pillowy treat features a three-inch-thick wedge of Sullivan Street brioche stuffed with a swirl of creamy peanut butter and grape jam. $12.
Sarah ReynoldsOctober 5, 2011
For your entree, don't miss out on the Duck Breast! If you are hungry definitely go for the tasting menu!!
NathanJanuary 5, 2015
Been here 5+ times
The chorizo and grits is my go-to brunch in the West Village.
Allie CarieriAugust 17, 2014
Good brunch! Pulled pork with egg and cornbread was a standout

Get the Chef's Tasting Menu ($75). He personally delivers each dish to your table and every course was delicious. Read more

Try the Pb&J "Pain Perdue" - This just easily made my list of best things I've ever eaten.
Jenn AndrewsJuly 24, 2013
This one's easy. Get the cauliflower raviolo. You'll get a taste of pasta, mushrooms, veggies, and seafood in one bite!
julia tDecember 9, 2014
I love recette. Intimate, easy reservation to get, tasty plates.
astraeaFebruary 13, 2013

Try the Salt Cod Fritters - Lamb Sausage Ragu, Curry Aioli
Randi BSeptember 12, 2011
Go for the tasting menu! 5 courses is probably enough unless you're used to eating enough to fill 3 people. Read more
Nicole BJanuary 14, 2011
Definitely go for the pork belly & s'mores dessert. If you want. Lighter starter, the arugula salad is killer.
vinise weeksFebruary 9, 2013
I would go back purely for the deconstructed smores dessert...a MUST!
@JaumePrimeroAugust 22, 2014
The bone marrow toast was magic. Period.
jared zlotnickSeptember 17, 2010
I recommend the Salt Cod Fritters, Chilled Corn Soup, Lobster Risotto, and don't leave without the Smores!
Erin GavleJune 19, 2013
Love the vibe here and if you get Cal as your server you're in luck!
Jason RaiaNovember 22, 2012
Try the Pumpkin Espuma - #light and #pumpkiny with perfect scallops
The New York TimesMarch 31, 2010
Looks casual. It isn't: those small plates taste big. You'll wantcharcuterie, cod fritters, pork belly, wine. S'mores to finish, ofcourse. Read more

Don't skip the foie or buffalo sweetbreads! Branzino w lentils is also great.
Meryl CooperJanuary 15, 2010
Do not miss the Razor Clams and the Fluke. Also - make sure Young helps you with your wine choices. Spot on!
