| Gerard Craft’s Brasserie by Niche is reviving the popularity of French fare in St. Louis with spot-on renditions of bistro-style steak frites, onion soup and croque madame. The relatively short menu stays approachable by avoiding French terms unless there’s not an English translation (for example, in the case of pike quenelles with lobster, mushrooms and shrimp) or the French name just sounds better (tender, wild Burgundy escargots). Meanwhile, herb gnocchi is pillowy and flavorful. Early diners sometimes snap up all the day’s specials on the $30 menu du jour, which is where the kitchen's creativity edges out the traditional approach. Wines tend to be French, though North American selections that pair well with the cuisine are available. The European-influenced cocktail list is the only place we experienced a slight glitch in knowledge or preparation of the staff. |
