True legend of the West Village, this tiny restaurant is always crowded.
People of the neighborhood are crazy about this French spot for many reasons. So do we ! We just can bring to mind the pleasant terrace and the BYOB policy : Bring Your Own Bottle. If you don’t have a white wine bottle at home, don’t panic and go to the closest liquor store (Pop the Cork Wine Merchants, 168 Seventh Ave). This concept is now very rare in Manhattan and we hope Tartine will never change that.
Among a solid brunch prix-fixe menu (14,95$) with oranje juice, regular coffee or tea, the choice of delicious eggs is not very impressive : Florentine, Bennedict, Norvegienne. However, it’s perfectly cooked. We also liked the Croque-Monsieur, the French Toast with lardons or the Apple Pancakes. All plates are served with roasted potatoes.
For fans, Fresh “croissants” and “pains au chocolat” (2,25$) are successful. If you are patient, it’s a lovely place to enjoy your weekend brunch.
Sat-Sun from 9am to 4pm.
