Voulez Vous Manger Avec Moi?

Check out that Lyonnaise salad. Wiry frisee, lardoons of crunchy pork fat, soft sautéed potatoes cubes, and a perfect poached egg perched atop the lettuce like a crown. This version of the classic bistro dish comes from Coquette, a salad versatile enough for late breakfast, early lunch, or at 3 am after one too many glasses of Bordeaux. When the chive-flecked yolk breaks over the salad, it’s like an outpouring of golden sunshine that just makes us wanna smile. With a new revolution of casual, affordable French bistros and brasseries popping up across town, it looks like they’ll be a lot more to smile about in the coming months.
