It opened on Friday. I'm a regular at La Sirene. I liked this new restaurant a lot. Most of the favorites from La Sirene are available. For the fondue there is a choice of cheese or meat fondue. We chose the meat. You choose a type of meat (hanger, filet or a cheaper option I don't remember) and a type of oil if you want to upgrade from soy. We chose hanger and soy. It was accompanied by a vegetable plate (same as from La Sirene) plus 4 delicious dipping sauces: Bernaise, peppercorn, Roquefort and another. The peppercorn sauce was amazing. I ended up using bread to eat the leftovers. For dessert there was a chocolate fondue with fruit. I'm haven't tried much fondue so I was expected a really heavy cheesy dish, so I was very pleased with the meat fondue. It's also BYOB like La Sirene which should be a huge draw for the East Village. The interior is typical french bistro, significantly less cramped than La Sirene.

re: Jane A.
I agree with Jane. Artisanal has amazing fondue! I wrote about it on my blog here:

Another interesting place for fondue is Swizz in Midtown West, but it lacks the atmosphere and French bistro decor that Artisanal boasts.
