The French have given us brasseries. They've given us bistros. They even blessed us with Brigitte Bardot. Now the West Village calls dibs on its very first bouchon, a restaurant style native to Lyon, brought stateside by restaurateur Francois Latapie (La Goulue, Orsay) with the help of former BLT Prime chef Chris Leahy. Latapie tells us that traditional bouchon cuisine is blue collar with an emphasis on local wines, local food and a menu rich in beef, pork, salads, charcuterie and offal. For now Leahy is plating winter-friendly dishes like soupe a l'oignon (beef brisket and onion soup, marrow jam, fontina), pied de porc (pig trotters, foie gras, green lentils, sherry vinegar), a daily butcher's cut, charcuterie and pickles to share, and soul-warming desserts a la apple fritters with cider caramel sauce. Cocktails and beer are available for drinking, but tradition—and the homey vintage décor—demands a sip of Cotes du Rhone or Beaujolais. The menu has expanded into lunch to include steak tartare, a Lyon hot dog made with truffled weiners, and a billi bi soup (chilled curry, tomato and mussels).
