Simplicity seems to be the mantra at this modern
European newcomer in the West Village, whose white-on-white aesthetic
belies its own pared-down approach to food. “I’m very much influenced
by the simplicity of Japanese cooking,” says chef Cesar Ramirez, one of
three David Bouley vets who’ve joined forces to open the place. “But
behind the simplicity, there’s a lot of technique. There’s a lot of work behind it.” The French-based menu
includes starters like slow-roasted rabbit and sweetbread salad, and—in
a nod to Ramirez’s love of Italian food—braised lamb shoulder lasagna
with porcini. David Bouley’s
predilection for Asian flavor seems to have rubbed off on Ramirez, who
studied at the renowned Japanese culinary institute Tsuji and who
infuses his dishes at Bar Blanc with decidedly Asian flourishes, such
as a star-anise-seasoned confit of baby pig with chanterelles, and tuna sashimi with marinated elf mushrooms, black onion
miso and black truffle dressing.
