Merging the nostalgia of old Paris with the new sophistication of TriBeCa, Cercle Rouge is certain to please locals and visitors alike. Owner Georges Forgeois updates the classic French Brasserie of the 1950s with a fresh American feel. A favorite of many diners is a unique take on Buffalo wings, with blue cheese whipped in creme fraiche. However, those seeking traditional Parisian fare will not be disappointed by the perfect steak & fries, complemented by their own homemade sauce. The atmosphere is upscale yet relaxed with a decor enhanced by items obtained at Les Puces in Paris. An extensive wine list features French & American wines. The casual bar in front is perfect for sipping wine and sharing a bite to eat with friends, while the terrace is an ideal spot for people watching as the sun sets over the nearby Hudson.
Follies Begere showgirl posters, old Metro signs, and black-and-whites of icons suggest a bohemian Left Bank brasserie, accented by antique mirrors and a large circular red booth. The din is very American,...
