Parisian Jean-Claude Teulade—of La Côte Basque, the long-running temple of high French cuisine—helms the kitchen at this French-Jewish café. The scope of bistro menu items, all OK Kosher–certified, keeps separate dairy and meat, as in chicken fricassee and duck pastilla, as well as classic French cassoulet—in this case prepared without pork. Observant owners keep Shabbat (no Friday night dinners here), and in sticking with the theme, offer a beer and wine list of ritually pure selection.
