The Scene – It's a time warp--Paris, 1945. The faded, wood-lined dining room is adorned with maps, photos and posters. Up front is a small bar where the legendary storyteller and proprietor, Monsieur Robert, welcomes every customer, most of whom have been coming here since John Lindsay was mayor. If the phone rings while Monsieur Robert is weaving a yarn, the nearest diner is expected to answer it. – – The Food – The menu is right out of Escoffier: skate au beurre noir, homemade pork terrines, coq au vin, grilled hanger steaks with French fries, roasted chicken,…

How Have I Missed This Place???
by Martrese at Citysearch
I've worked down the street from Le Veau d'Or for 17 years and just had my first (hopefully of many) delightful lunch here. $20 for a delicious three-course lunch is amazing, especially when the choices are numerous, the food delicious and the portions perfect. The space is a mid-century time vault and should be on everyone's list of places to try - who knows how much longer the owner will be around? Speaking of which, Robert & daughter Cathy are just delightful. Check out the review & interesting history in "The NY Sun" newspaper on line.
- Pros: Delicious French fare, attentive staff, fascinating owner
- Cons: I didn't find it sooner.
