Description:
In 1980, before the triangle below Canal Street was given the acronym TriBeCa, and before the neighborhood became rife with celebrities and hip restaurants, Capsouto Frères opened. And through TriBeCa's amazing growth and its devastation after 9/11 and subsequent rebirth, Capsouto Frères has not only survived -- a feat unto itself -- but it also has thrived with a loyal following. What accounts for the longevity? Is it the simple, home-style French cuisine: the famous soufflés; the spicy saucisson; the always reliable sole meunière, steak frites, or cassoulet; the warm, wood-floored, high-ceilinged always-festive dining room; the gregarious and engaging hosts; the freres Jacques, Sammy, and Albert? Or is it a combination of all of the above? Sturdy and reliable Capsouto Frères offers a literal taste of what it was like before Robert De Niro "discovered" TriBeCa.

Capsouto Frères, a Gem of Downtown NYC

Capsouto Frères is one of the few fine restaurants in Downtown NYC. The soufflé is excellent, and the place has real character.

Summary Why does the Madeleine taste like cardboard? Don't you remember how perfect it all felt so long ago? If you are given to Proustian digressions, this may well be the...
