"Upper East Side diners have been clamoring for the return of classic French bistro La Goulue. Their requests will finally be answered come Monday, January 15. The restaurant, which has relocated to 29 East 61st St., will fully open to the public. Diners will be pleased to find the place basically exactly as they remember it; the phone number is even the same. The same chef, Antoine Camin, will prepare the same dishes, such as cheese souffle, Dover sole, risotto with truffles, and steak frites that originally earned the restaurant a Michelin star. The decor is literally from the old location, and the layout is similar, too. An 80-person room for private events is also available. The new space seats 177. La Goulue will be open daily from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. to 11 p.m., though only until 10 p.m. on Sundays. Eventually, a light cafe menu will be offered between lunch and dinner." - Stefanie Tuder
