On various days, Mike and I will walk through the city in a single direction while looking at menus until something sparks our interest. We’ve been pretty lucky in our “stumble upons” and Steak Frites on Varick at Clarkson (West Village) was no exception.
Since the inside was mostly red, I already liked it.
We were there right around late brunch time (it could have been linner by then) but we both still went for variations on egg dishes. My dish was unbelievably good, with the exception of the egss being overpoached (why is this so common when mine turn out perfectly almost every time? Ok… I’m not a chef in a restaurant… maybe I shouldn’t say anything). I think it was a special, since I can’t find it on their menu, but it was a parmesan (perfectly crispy) thick piece of toast with spinach, tomatos, poached eggs, bacon, hollandaise and shaved parmesan. The blend of flavors was impressive.
Mike went with the steak and eggs, which seemed to be quite enjoyable (though also with overpoached eggs).
