‘Top Chef’ Jo Chan Opens French Restaurant Bureau de Poste in Austin - Eater Austin
"Former Top Chef contender, Austin’s Jo Chan, is opening her new French restaurant this week in Austin. And it’s accompanied by a second location of Austin boutique market Tiny Grocer. Bureau’s menus focuses on French comfort classics. For dinner, there are pommes dauphine with smoked trout roe and creme fraiche, cured duck leg cassoulet with venison sausage; poisson a la plancha made with a skate wing fish fillet; roasted half-chickens with greens, bread, dried cranberries, pine nuts, and sauces; and the traditional steak frites with rib-eye, tartares with beef or ocean trout, and ratatouille. Desserts include clafoutis and dark chocolate mousses. The restaurant will offer nightly specials, such as lobster frites, scallops, and a Sunday roast. The kids menu includes roasted chicken breast with fries, a little cheeseburger, and a grilled cheese sandwich. Chan makes sure to offer vegetarian and vegan options as well. There’s also a nice wine list with glasses and bottles, Austin beers, non-alcoholic cocktails, and frozen drinks, including a frosé. For brunch, Bureau will serve eggy dishes like croque-madames, omelets (with a vegan iteration), and eggs Benedicts, and steak frites with a sunny side up egg.
