| Close your eyes at this Upper East Side French brasserie and you’ll be transported to Paris. Open them and you’ll be delighted by the ambience that chef/co-owner Jean-Michel Bergougnoux has created, done up in style with red banquettes, huge mirrors, polished brass rails and antique clocks. Appetizers like the shellfish tray (enough for three or four people) or warm lobster tart with vegetables and crispy chorizo get things started, followed by poached free-range chicken in a black truffle broth, or filet of sunburst lake trout amandine and sautéed French beans. Besides the thin, crusty apple tart, desserts include a decadent café liégeois---a combination of chocolate-coffee ice cream topped with espresso, whipped cream and melted chocolate. L'Absinthe's sound French-American wine list is reasonably priced. |
