"When it opened in Spring 2018 by alums of Balthazar on the nicest square in Tribeca, Frenchette caused a sensation. It was a French bistro that concentrated on natural wine along with dishes a shade richer and more luxuriant than its bistro and brasserie competitors. Blood sausage served on soft scrambled eggs was one example, and others included leg of lamb, cote de boeuf, and saffron-laced fish soup. The duo has also opened its bakery nearby." - Robert Sietsema
