Moutarde Gets a Makeover, Reopens
As we mentioned yesterday in our Food and Drink Roundup, Moutarde just re-opened, looking new and improved, and showing off a (kind of) new name: Moutarde, Le Bistro de la Rue.

Moutarde Out, Bistro In [Brownstoner] GMAP
Great Brunch
Decent Food
Glad its there
Brooklyn Couch..
Moutarde=Disnified French, makes me go humm, good point
your followup of
Bellville=more authentic, makes me think, Brooklyn Couch has no credibility and maybe is a slow adult.
I guess we have different ideas of what “Disney” means then. You say Disney, I say authentic. Moutarde looks just like many bistros in Paris. So your complaints about the decor have more to do with not liking French Bistro decor in general than they do about Moutarde, because as far as looks go, this place is pretty darn authentic.
No clue about the food in the new incarnation, as I prefer to try things out first before I rail against them.

It means MUSTARD. Do you find French bread “pain”-full?

Not sure how my Disney complaint is refused by use of place for said film. Disney = too perfect. Contrast it with the Belleville aesthetic, which I like much more: more raw, imperfect, real…
It’s kinda hard to screw up bistro food, no?
Always thought Moutarde was a solid bones restaurant. Always have a pretty decent meal here but wouldn’t call it a culinary heaven or anything but always yummy and just hit the right spot for things I wanted. I am willing to check out the newly redone spot. Snappy, count me in for dinner here.
I just don’t know if I will frequent it much because my newly fav. french spot is Le P’tit Paris on PPW but it’s a bit of a shlep from this place so I guess for non-driving folks in the neighborhood, this is a pretty good option for a French Bistro.
What a mess of a thread.
To those who think that Moutarde is “Disney,” the restaurant was the filming location for the French Restaurant at the beginning of the movie Julie and Julia with Meryl Streep.
And clearly you’ve never been to jam packed Pastis in the Meatpacking District if you think this “concept” is outdated.
The amount of negativity (often about things you’ve never even tried) is startling.
Not even a meatless salad option?
