Le Chêne, the latest dining venture by chef Alexia Duchêne and her husband, Ronan, opened on Carmine Street to rave reviews. This intimate but lively 50-seat restaurant offers a modern twist on Parisian cuisine in an art-filled environment. With a cozy dining room designed by Fred Interiors, the establishment features a small bar and walls adorned with contemporary art. The a la carte menu promises lighter fare, but guests should be cautious not to overindulge.
The cuisine is somewhat lighter than at, say, La Veau d'Or, and it's served a la carte, but beware: If you fail to restrain yourself when ordering, it's easy to leave here with your stomach as full and your wallet as empty as if you'd done a full-scale tasting menu.
Le Chêne transports diners into a wonderland of contemporary Parisian dining, coming from Alexia Duchêne, a 29-year-old Paris-born chef who burst onto the French culinary scene.
