La Bourse et La Vie

This upscale bistro—featuring a brocante décor that mixes 19^th-century mirrors with 1960s-style globe light fixtures—was taken over by French-trained American chef Daniel Rose (of Spring) in the fall of 2015. Complementing the dining room’s classic charm, Rose’s menu features French staples like pot-au-feu and oysters gratinée. Though the ambiance and cuisine are about as authentic as you’ll find in any Paris bistro these days, don’t expect stereotypically rude waiters here. Rose’s American-style hospitality translates to service with a smile.
