Gigots d'agneau [Manhattan]

Regional Dining Discussions New York City
1

I love West African food, and I’ve been meaning to learn a little conversational French so I can better navigate Francophone African restaurants. But after a recent meal at Yop City — named for a district of Abidjan, Ivory Coast, and newly opened in the Bronx’s Little Italy — I’ve realized I need a better footing in French food, too. Could you recommend a brasserie in Manhattan where I could find gigots d’agneau to compare with my meal in the Bronx?

You should check with Le Gigot. Someone on another board :smirk: mentioned that, although they don’t have it on their on line website menu, he remembers them having it and their opentable menu page lists it.

This is a nice, cozy place and I too, remembers having that dish.When I was last there, years ago, the chef was from West Africa, probably Senegal or Cote d/Ivoire. But again, that was at least 8 years ago; I am glad they survived this far…

While you are at it, you might want to check with
Raoul’s, not far away.sounds as if they may have it as well…

Thanks! I’ll poke my head in, next time I’m down that way.

Thanks for the reminder. I haven’t been to Raoul’s in ages.
