"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 lively 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, and it's challenging to get a table, but Libertine’s French countryside cooking is so good, we’d eat it sitting on a wine crate outside if they’d let us. The duck deux façons alone would be worth it." - bryan kim, neha talreja, will hartman, sonal shah
