Rouge Tomate

Midtown East, home to the five-course business lunch, desperately needed a high-end place that's as easy on the budget as it is on the waistline: voilà Rouge Tomate. This sleek Belgian restaurant eschews french fries and waffles in favor of organic veggies and lean cuts of meat. All the meals – including the $72 prix-fixe with three courses plus dessert – come in at 550 calories or less, but with no sacrifice to flavor or presentation. The chef, formerly of Daniel Boulud's DB Bistro Moderne, works with a nutritionist to count calories (and cooks with olive oil and yogurt over butter and heavy cream), but you won't leave feeling hungry: portions are ample, as Americans like them, and desserts are every bit as decadent as one would hope.
