Tartare brunch?

[carochinha]

Had some lovely tartare this week and am now stuck on it. Ideas on who makes a wonderful bit of it? Any neighborhood and price point fine.

Thanks in advance.

I like La Goulue's - and they have a pretty reasonable prix fixe brunch, if you don't start adding extras to it.

I am not a big fan of steak tartare but my husband is still dreaming about the one he had at A Voce a couple of months ago. He said it was wonderful.

That's good to know - we love it - I've just been put off by the noise reports about A Voce.

When I went there it wasn't noisy at all, but it was a Sunday evening and the restaurant wasn't crowded. We had a great meal, I definetely recommend it.

Thanks for the tip.

I like Balthazar's and Flea Markets.

i've been on a major tartare kick for the last year and try as many as i can. here's a few places where i've had the best luck:

Cafe at Country (nymag voted best in nyc in '06)
Les Halles (made to order tableside)
L'Express
Le Bateau Ivre
Paradou
Employees Only
Resto Leon (appetizer but very nice)

One of my long-time favorite places is Le Pere Pinard on the Lower East Side. Made tableside - spiced to order. They also have a lovely garden in the spring.

I had a great tar tar appy at Insieme midtown last week. Very rich and delicious.

I also second L'Express

Blue Ribbon Bakery on Bedford & Downing has one of my favorite steak tartares. Its not the most traditional format, its served with potato gaufrettes instead of crostini, but I love it, and their hot mustard is fantastic. Price is fair too, I think its around $15.
