French Foodies Only: Rebelle

   

At Rebelle, the beauty of the dining room is only topped by the exquisite flavors dished in the kitchen. Staples like duck confit, pâté, and hen are joined by delicious preparations of seafood, veal, and hearty sides.

  

My top appetizer is the fluke – citrusy and cold. Great way to get your taste buds going with a cocktail while you wait for your entrée.
  

The special rotates quite frequently, but if you’re lucky, you’ll go on a night when the chef is serving his porterhouse veal and potatoes. Prepared in a cast iron pot on the bone, this dish is prepared for two, and the meat just melts off. Spiced to perfection and finished with lemon.

Average cocktail is $14. Dinner runs around $30 pp. 

Check it out on Bowery between Spring and Rivington streets in Nolita.
