When you go to a trendy restaurant’s website these days, you’ll find a couple standard links to click on. You can click on the menu. And then you can click on the brunch menu, of course. You can click on the “reservations” tab, where you’ll find a note that says, “We only take 4 reservations a night! Walk-ins welcome :)” (The smiley face is key.) You can click on the “photos” tab where you’ll see pictures of a singular cocktail glass, a weird shot of the bar, and a “seasonal” dish that hasn’t been on the menu since last Spring.
And then there’s the “Our Story” tab. This is the one where the hip new restaurant tells you about how its founders used to be management consultants who went on a yoga retreat to Nicaragua, which inspired them to open a coffee shop/vegan rice bowl restaurant. Or where they tell you about how the chef’s grandfather owned a pizza place in “Napoli” (the Italian spelling is key) so his progeny decided that the East Village needed yet another Italian restaurant.
Le Garage, a French restaurant in Bushwick, definitely has an “Our Story,” and theirs is sweet. The short version: an interior architect decides to open a restaurant, and decides to do it with her mother, who, as it turns out, was a chef at a bunch of serious restaurants in Paris. The result is a friendly, well-designed but extremely understated and low-key restaurant that serves foie gras (the mom’s recipe!) and a good chicken for two.
