Septime alumni Marc Cordonnier and Louis Langevin helm Gare au Gorille, an ultra sleek 17th bistro known for taking traditional French dishes and transforming them into perfectly snackable tapas, like classic raw beef with tapenade and matchstick fries, French vitello tonnato with whelks and vitelotte potatoes, or tender mackerel marinated with salt, tomatoes, and raspberries. The interior is austere and immaculate; rustic oak tables are in stark contrast to the clean white walls, and bright white lights hang from industrial-chic cables.
