Gentleman Farmer

Husband-and-wife team Karim Nounouh (Ivo & Lulu) and Beverly Prewitt are behind this Franco-American bistro that opened on the Lower East Side in 2010. Nounouh is in the kitchen, turning out modern French and American dishes. Starters include red onion soup with gruyere ($9), curried snails ($10) and salmon tartare with avocado, Korean pear, green onions and yuzu ($13). For the main course, choose between classic preparations like rabbit cassoulet ($30) or rack of lamb with chanterelle mushrooms ($28) and more modern adaptations like a boar chop with chimichurri sauce and parmesan gnocchi ($34). Pair your pick with something from Prewitt's list of natural wines from producers around the world.
