Rue Cler Restaurant Review: Rue Cler works like the many bistros that line the famous Paris market street for which this establishment is named: the place takes no reservations, and that often means crowds can get dense. But if you plan it right, you can drop in for classics such as a buttery pâté, roast chicken, moules frites, salade niçoise, and soupe à l’oignon gratinée, as well as seasonal specialties such as duck ragoût with wide noodles, pork chops with French lentils and a red pepper caper sauce, or seared flank steak with aïoli verte. The nightly three-course prix-fixe dinner is a bargain at $30. Don’t skip dessert. The chocolate terrine and delicate dessert crêpes conclude a meal in the same classic fashion in which it began. The wine list, true to character, focuses on moderately priced French wines. Servers are fully up to speed on the wines, which complement the food. The entire restaurant is non-smoking. |
