Tois Mec dinners
For this season only, chef Ludo Lefebvre has decided to switch things up at Trois Mec. The ticketed tasting menu strip mall hit remains among the most sought-after reservations in the city, but now instead of single-diner coursed out meals, the fall plan is to operate as a family-style restaurant. That means group dinners where everybody shares everything at the table, and only two reserved seatings per night. The format change isn’t forever, though; Expect this new French table d’hotes idea to run only from October 30 to November 26.
