Les Zygomates Restaurant Review: Les Zygomates could easily get by on looks alone; the zinc bar, red banquettes and vintage posters are just that stylish. But as long as Ian Just is the chef-owner, it won't be lacking for substance either. Just trained in Paris at the original Zygomates and has the Gallic palate to prove it, exhibiting remarkable restraint in his approach to bistro fare. Pâtés are made daily, steak frites is the real thing, and even the simplest of salads is treated with care (in winter, escarole studded with lardons and blue cheese and wilted in a warm bacon vinaigrette is nearly a meal in itself; in summer, the tang of a buttermilk vinaigrette contrasts with the richness of duck confit laid over greens). The wonderful wine selection rightly ranges from modest table wines to a treasure trove of grands crus. But that ain’t all; nightly live jazz helps keep the utterly urbane spirit of the place alive until the wee hours. |
