Some people call it March...I call it monsoon season. Torrential downpours with gusts that seem just about tear your head off. All in all, a good time to hide away by a fireplace, drink some wine, and take your mind off the inevitable trek home.
We found the perfect place to accomplish just this at Le Barricou on Grand St. Just a few blocks from the Lorimer L train stop, we were dry before we knew it splitting a $25 bottle of Syrah. This cozy southern traditional French bistro, is flanked with old bottles of rare and unusual liquors, and an interior design that was quite comforting.
For dinner it was Steak Au Poivre (grass fed-Black Angus steak with green peppercorns and pommes frites), and Macaroni au Gratin (Gruyere, Parmesan, and bacon). The highlight however, was the Escargots in garlic and parsley butter. Orgasmic!!
You might think this meal would break the bank? Escargot in Seattle alone would be $20. We walked away with our bill at under $75 smackers!
Our advice...go here and get toasty!
p.s. Teenie likes the marinated cherries at the bar.
