Ten years ago Martial Noguier wowed us with contemporary American at One Sixtyblue, and more recently, the Parisian-born chef let his haute roots shine at Café des Architectes. But Bistronomic, the casually chic boîte he opened in the old Eve spot with Matt Fisher and John Ward, has been the dream all along. Glad he made it a reality. Noguier’s country pâtés, tender braised short ribs,and playful baked Alaska reveal his unrivaled talent for the simple pleasures of bistro-style plates. The cozy bar behind the dining room is a perfect spot for a tête-à-tête over charcuterie and wine. Noguier is a dream weaver extraordinaire.
