It’s good to come back for seconds: Alain
Ducasse follows up his rousingly received Adour with this U.S. outpost
of his charming Parisian bistro, which takes residence at the old La
Côte Basque space and echoes that late Midtown spot’s joie de vivre
(how’s that for a second coming?). Ducasse and executive chef Sébastien
Rondier mine the original Benoit’s historic recipes (it’s been around
since 1912) for classics like steak au poivre with pommes soufflées,
and escargots laced with parsley butter and garlic, which you won’t
have any trouble pairing with any of the 200 French and American wines.
Déjà vu, mon chou? Wait’ll you get a load of the digs, which evokes the
original Benoit—red-velvet banquettes, mirrors, wood paneling—while
retaining touches from the old La Côte Basque, like sconces and a
chandelier.
