Sel et Poivre Restaurant Review:


Ensconced along a stretch of Lexington Avenue populated by unassuming pubs and bistros, Sel et Poivre maintains a petite and cozy French brasserie feel, complete with a long bar, flowers, and sketches on the walls. It’s popular among the neighborhood set and offers a solid menu. Appetizers include several salads, simple in preparation but well done. Hot crusty bread is perfect for dipping in the garlicky escargots sauce or dunking in a savory fish soup. Classic French standbys dominate the entrées, including trout amandine, frogs’ legs, and duck à l’orange. Consider, too, the daily specials, prix-fixe lunch, and the house burger.
