NEW YORK—New Yorkers can savor a taste of the finest French cuisine during French Restaurant Week, which offers fine cultural fare for a lower price than usual.
Escargot, French onion soup, and authentic steak frites (French fries) are among the offerings chefs from some of the participating restaurants said people should come and try.
A complete meal will cost $20 to $30, and restaurants will feature special menu items. The event runs Sept. 17–30.
Pascal Petiteau, chef and owner of Bistro Vendôme at 405 E. 58th St., raved about escargot while showing pictures on his phone of a recent journey back to France. He said snails were becoming a bother at his relative’s house, so the enterprising Petiteau scooped up a bunch and prepared a delectable dish.
