Bonjour mes amis! Aujourd'hui nous parlerons d'un restaurant francais. Pamplemousse ananas framboise. Which translates to: Hello friends! Today we're going to talk about a French restaurant. Grapefruit pineapple raspberry. (Sure, those last three words are nonsensical here, but they were fun to say).
Said restaurant, Le Grainne Cafe, is a casual, bustling spot on the northwest corner of 21st and 9th. It is one open room filled with tables, tables, an open kitchen, and tables. Upon entering through the glass and nicked wood door, one has the inclination to maneuver past the table in the doorway, over to the right, where there's enough room by the hostess stand to get in every waiter/waitress' path and accidentally bump the diner's chair at that corner table in the window. Thankfully, the hostess hustles you to a seat promptly, so the next party can squeeze in and jostle each other in their attempt to get out of everyone's way.
In true Manhattan and Parisian form, the tables are close to one another so as to fit as many patrons as possible. This means sitting close to strangers on the wood banquette near the window to the left or on wood and plastic woven chairs at paper-covered tables stretching down the center of the room to the back wall.
Yeah, it's a tight fit, but that does not mean Le Grainne Cafe is without its charms. For starters, little chalkboards advertising sweets lean against the painted pressed-tin walls. Decorative roosters (a symbol of France - check out the crest on the National Team soccer kit) perch in windowsills. Old school posters are classic nods to a land where museums line the Seine, the Cote d'Azur sparkles at sunrise, coffee is strong, swimsuits are small, and most sandwiches are smeared with butter. France. I'm talking about France.
Some sandwiches get the butter treatment here as well (saucisson beurre and jambon beurre to name two). Other French dishes include the croque monsieur (toasted ham and cheese), moules (various preparations of mussels), crepes (both savory and sweet), escargots (in their shells, Pretty Woman style), and onion soup, bien sur. A variety of salads, sandwiches on toasted baguettes speared by a sprig of rosemary, quiches, and side dishes (ratatouille, anyone?) are offered, as are some entrees that stray from the expected options - fettucini carbonara, various risotto dishes, and linguini with spicy shrimp to name a few. Classic desserts (including tarte tatin, mousse au chocolat, and creme brulee) are to be enjoyed as you linger over your cafe au lait, cintron chaud (fresh squeezed lemon, honey and hot water), or rhum lait chaud (spiced rum, milk and honey). Le Grainne Cafe also provides a full wine list, fruit juices, sodas, and label-free bottles of tap water.
Le Grainne Cafe is one of those great neighborhood spots, where you know you'll be satisfied for breakfast (when croissants and egg options are available), lunch, or dinner when you just can't think of anywhere else you would rather go that day. Proximate to Chelsea Piers, the Highline, and the art galleries tucked all around the area, it draws those from beyond the Chelsea borders as well. Need a quick bite after success at the driving range? Want an espresso to energize you for that elevated park stroll? Feel you deserve a nutella crepe after staring at who-knows-what by who-knows-who to express are-you-kidding? C'est le cafe pour vous! Pomme de terre bibliotheque singe. (This is the cafe for you! Potato library monkey).
