| La Frite’s décor was assembled à la marché aux puces in its first incarnation, and new owners have only amplified the casual vibe. The cuisine is a patchwork, too, though on the order of a vintage quilt. Moules, for many the mainstay of the menu, are now available ten or so ways (some more appealing than others) and though listed as an appetizer, a plate of these mollusks with a bucket of the eponymous frites makes for a delightful lunch or dinner. Salads of endive and of pear may be contemplated before or after upscale entrées that include various vols au vent, duck, and an onglet (hanger) steak. Belgian waffles (we suppose they were inevitable) are also available, as is an impressive list of Trappist and other thematic beers. An adjacent wine bar touts an evolving list by the glass and bottle. |
