StreetLevel: Another French Bistro for 5th Avenue
Francophilic Fifth Avenue made room for yet another Gallic eatery recently with the opening of Canaille between St. Marks and Warren. The very small one-room restaurant serves appetizers like French onion soup and salmon tartare (both $8), and entrees like steak frite and braised short ribs (both $18).

Francophilic Fifth Avenue made room for yet another Gallic eatery recently with the opening of Canaille between St. Marks and Warren. The very small one-room restaurant serves appetizers like French onion soup and salmon tartare (both $8), and entrees like steak frite and braised short ribs (both $18). The couple of times we’ve walked by the restaurant in the evening it’s been completely deserted, and we’re wondering how much appetite there is in the Slope for more French food (the crowded 5th Ave. field already includes Belleville, Cocotte, Moutarde, and recent addition AOC Bistro). In response to a positive review of the joint on Chowhound, for example, someone comments, “that list of food you ordered is exactly what i am not interested in…good luck making a go of it on 5th ave in 2007.” Think that person’s got a point?

La Taqueria and Chiles and Chocolates are damn good Mexican places.
applewood, as well
Blue Ribbon Sushi, Moim and Al Di La are what I’d call way above average, verging on world class.
take your frog star and shove it up your ass
agree that park slope only appears to have good restaurants. i’d say none that are world class like saul and dressler which both have a michelin star this year.
the slope is for people priced out of boring uptown manhattan hoods now.
i’m 3:33 and i didn’t write 3:31 or 4:30.
have a problem with it??
Hey 4:34, I know you are are, so what am I?
I have ZERO idea how Moutarde stays in business.
That place is a shitshow.
It looks like it should be in Busch Gardens.
