Dining room at db bistro moderne, New York, NYWe would expect nothing less of chef extraordinaire and entrepreneur Daniel Boulud than an impeccable place. Modern indeed for a bistro and very elegant with soft and warm colors. Chef Olivier Muller oversees creative dishes organized by ingredient on the seasonally-inspired menu: artichoke soup with basil oil and tomato confit; country duck pâté with homemade pickled vegetables. How about a $32 hamburger: sirloin burger filled with braised short ribs, foie gras and black truffles on a Parmesan bun. This most-popular dish on the menu is definitely not your father's burger. Desserts are equally sweet and savory: chocolate praline crémeux (a creamy layering of hazelnut dacquoise, flaky pastry and dark chocolate ice cream) as well as an assortment of cheeses. Choose from a simple, international (well-priced) wine list that includes the likes of a Nicolas Potel Volnay. Not inexpensive, but an impeccable experience nevertheless.
