Les Halles
Celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain still reigns at this packed and serious brasserie where vegetarians need not apply. Among the elegant light-fixture balls, dark wood paneling and stiff white tablecloths you’ll find a buttoned-up, meat-lovin’ crowd with deep pockets. They’ve come for rich and decadent favorites including cote de boeuf, choucroute garnis and steak au poivre, as well as more standard moules frites, New York strip steak, salad niçoise and grilled salmon. The lists of wine, single-malt scotches and other liquors are impressive, as are the desserts, from the crème brûlée to the tarte tatin.

Café Luxembourg
The quintessential city eatery, this neighborhood stalwart has it all: an elegant setting, friendly staff, a crowd of locals and flattering lighting – with an outstanding menu, to boot. Its execution of standards, including salmon tartare, cassoulet and steak frites, is consistently excellent, as is its approach to a range of other options, from salads and fresh pasta dishes to fabulous and eggy brunch options. And its proximity to Lincoln Center makes it the perfect post-performance destination.
