Bâtard

"The chefs at MICHELIN-starred Bâtard in New York City serve a buttermilk panna cotta accented with a small dice of a lemon verbena syrup-soaked grapefruit and Cara Cara and blood oranges."

"It was a long run for Drew Nieporent at 238 W. Broadway, who held onto that Tribeca address since the early ’80s, from its evolution as Montrachet; its fine-dining run as Corton with chef Paul Liebrandt; through the near decade of Bâtard. Open since 2014, Bâtard earned a Michelin star the following year and was crowned the best new restaurant in America by the James Beard Foundation." - Luke Fortney

"Bâtard, a starred restaurant in Tribeca, closed in May 2023, with Drew Nieporent giving up the space he had held onto since the ’80s." - Melissa McCart

"Bâtard, open since May 2014, is closing in Tribeca, a neighborhood anchor that defied a straight-up fine dining label with off-menu fried chicken, PBR at a regular’s request, and two, three, or four-course tasting menus for under $100." - Melissa McCart

"The concept here is a simple, yet welcome one: Incredible French food at an affordable price. How incredible? Think braised artichokes, granny smith and sweetbreads strudel, and caramelized milk bread. How affordable? $55, $65, and $75 for two, three, or four course prix-fix-only options. The interior is by no means extraordinary and it can get a little loud the later it gets, but the vibe is nice, made even better by a lengthy wine list. "
