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
Call me provincial, but I have trouble getting myself to eat at a place with “tard” in its name.
I can’t see the French giving up chicken stock too readily.

They do need to get a clue and serve a vegetarian entree.
maybe they want to keep the riff-raff out?

only gripe was the two seat tables were too close together
this is one of the reasons i dont enjoy most fancy pants restaurants, and even some non fancy pants ones. too claustrophobic and you cant say anything without people overhearing your conversation.

I’ve noticed that before too, MGLT, as sometimes I want to eat light and no-meat at night. They do need to get a clue and serve a vegetarian entree.
I like this place. Decent.
Plus y’know, Julia and Julie was filmed in it
“Nobody actually eats at the places they hate here”
That sounds like a classic Yogi Berra line.
Walked by the other night. The renovation is cute. But, sadly I won’t be eating there because there is not one vegetarian option on the menu.
Agreed, diablorojo. Nobody actually eats at the places they hate here or visits the neighborhoods they slam. I can tell you fave menu items and that I really like Moutarde, Insertsnappynamehere. I don’t know the new menu or new hours, but previously I often went here for lunch and would continue to do so, because so few place in the Slope are open for lunch. Go figure, because it’s a neighborhood with a lot of work-at-home people and SAHM’s and work-at-home people from other hoods who run over there at lunchtime to do errands, like us. For lunch I really liked the salmon, salad and french fries, or omelet and fries. Affordable and delicious; great fries. SLOW service. Hope they fixed that aspect. At dinner I used to get the dishes they sautee in the small cast-iron pans, namely the scallops. Again a good deal and tasty. I never saw this as a “concept” place. The people who run it are actually French. French bistros are a classic, not a trendy “concept”.
