Monsieur Bistro is an intimate French spot on Lexington where steak au poivre, bistro burgers, and crisp fries make up much of the comfort side of the menu. It’s a quieter alternative to larger brasseries, with polished plates, friendly service, and fries that feel as considered as the mains they support.
