People who know and love Tartine tend to fall into two categories: people who live nearby, and people who go to BYOB restaurants. This idyllic spot has all of about 15 seats, and has been sitting quietly on one of the best corners in the West Village for decades. Brunch is their most popular meal - to the point that people line up down the street waiting for a table on most fair-weather weekends - but dinner is perpetually crowded too. We’ve always found the food at Tartine to be consistently solid, and even though it’s never quite awe-inspiring, the aesthetic appeal and the value make this a good place to know if you’re in the neighborhood, or just looking to eat well without mortgaging your future. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to have a nice dinner with their favorite bottle of Pinot from the cellar (the fridge).
