"Pastry maestro Bill Yosses, best known as a former White House chef for Barack Obama, has opened an all-day French-American bistro on the Upper East Side. Palais by Perfect Pie is the pastry chef’s first standalone restaurant following his popular pie-focused pop-up Perfect Pie and a stint at the now-closed, controversial Four Seasons Restaurant revamp. The new restaurant serves French fare like a roasted duck breast with lavender and peppercorn gastrique, as well as American bistro items like grilled flatbread pizza and a burger." - Carla Vianna
