Brasserie Meets Tavern: DBGB Kitchen & Bar

After going crazy at Eleven Madison Park, we filled the rest of the weekend with far less expensive food. We happened to be in town during Restaurant Week, so we took advantage of this at DBGB Kitchen & Bar.

According to its website, DBGB is Chef Daniel Boulud's "new lowdown downtown place where the French brasserie meets the American tavern."

The Restaurant Week prix fixe three-course lunch cost $24.07.

Chilled ratatouille soup, roasted garlic and chevre crostini, crispy basil.

Cool and refreshing for a hot, humid day in NYC.

Pâté campagnard -- country-style pâté with pork and chicken liver.

Rich and salty.

Chanterelle and corn lasagna, Parmesan and chicken jus.

Some fantastic pasta. Substantial yet not overwhelming midday.

Yankee burger -- 6 oz. beef patty with iceberg, tomato, and Vidalia onion on a sesame bun, Essex Street pickle, and fries.

Damn good burger with possibly even better fries.

Hazelnut praline and chocolate cake, hazelnut biscuit, chocolate sauce.

More hazelnut than chocolate -- just the way I like it.

Raspberry yogurt sundae, anise marshmallow, raspberry coulis, whipped cream.

Really liked the marshmallow, but the rest was pretty standard fare.

We enjoyed our meal (and the deal), but I've since been thrice informed that we erred by not getting DBGB's famed sausage. I now take this opportunity to advise you not to make the same mistake. Get some sausage at DBGB!

Even without any sausage, DBGB Kitchen & Bar provided us a lovely reasonably priced meal to fuel our walk down to and around the financial district.

  2. That onesie is hilarious. Want!

    Three courses for $24.07! Such a great deal. I forwarded it to my sister since she's going next month and I'm afraid she won't be able to afford any nice meals.

  5. I'm glad your trip to one of DB's casual restaurants was better than our trip to his casual restaurant in Vancouver. Nick had the burger there and wasn't impressed for the amount we paid.
