Libertine

The Best Restaurants In The West Village - New York - The Infatuation

"When you first moved to New York, you probably imagined yourself eating at a restaurant like Libertine, in a neighborhood like the West Village. With butter flown in from Normandy and a Serge Gainsbourg poster on the wall, it’s obvious this restaurant was opened by some real Francophiles, but it's also exactly the type of pristine bistro that New Yorkers are always yearning for. The prices are closer to what you’d spend on a special date night than on a casual lunch, but the French countryside cooking is worth the occasional splurge." - bryan kim, will hartman, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick
