"Every inch the polished West Village restaurant with its smooth, wide bar overlooking an open kitchen, and its Murano glass chandelier suspended over a corner table, Justine’s also has one of the more interesting menus in the area. You’ll find small plates and French techniques at this elegant wine bar, but you’ll also find sauces from the Philippines and punchy ingredients from around the world enlivening everything from fluke crudo to pork chops. The wine is pretty much all European, and the menu changes often to reflect what’s in season at the owners’ family farm. One of our Best New Restaurants of 2023, Justine’s is a great choice for a splashy night out with anyone who appreciates subtly innovative cooking.
