Saveurs 209

An unexpected gem on an underwhelming downtown stretch of Broadway, Saveurs is as classy and chic as any small bistro you’d find on a side street in Paris. The authentic fare is as deceptively simple as the restaurant’s crisp decor, with contemporary takes on the classics: foie gras terrine with blueberries and almonds, roasted cod with asparagus, and pan-seared scallops sprinkled with crispy Spanish chorizo. Sunday brunch includes the best eggs ever: organic, local, coddled with foie gras and Parmigiano Reggiano; just ask for extra baguette slices. This is the place to take your out-of-town foodie friends—tucked away, tiny, unpretentious yet elegant. You’ll earn points on the insider scale for sure.
