Here's more information about the new restaurant that opened Monday in the former Apartment 13 space at 115 Avenue C between East Seventh Street and East Eighth Street.
Turns out it is Le Jardin Bistro, which was originally housed on Cleveland Place until its 2010 closure. (They opened in 1995. Here's a review from the Times.)
A rep for the restaurant emailed us info yesterday:
The new outpost of Le Jardin Bistro will serve well-priced classic dishes like rich and hearty Cassoulet, traditional Steak Frites and Bouillabaisse paired with an equally accessible wine list.
Divided between two floors, Le Jardin Bistro boasts a stately and inviting oyster bar, dining room and small patio on the first floor with an open kitchen, additional dining room and namesake ‘jardin’ seating open year-round on the second floor.
Here's a dinner menu.

You can find the wine and dessert menus here.
Le Jardin's hours are: Monday - Wednesday 5 p.m.-midnight; Thursday - Saturday 5 p.m.-2 a.m.; closed Sunday.
Apartment 13 closed during the July 4 weekend.
Previously on EV Grieve:
Apartment 13 will not be reopening on Avenue C
I suggest to go here now-ish, while the prices are still affordable (before they jack-up the prices like Le Philosophe) and still has the bistro feel (much like Pastis/Balthazar in their early days, but was/now overpriced, overcrowded, and overrated).
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about this. Le Jardin on Cleveland Place was always such a sweet little spot--and to have it much closer to home is a real plus!
ReplyDeleteThe Old Le Jardin on Cleveland Place was great. Decent bistro fare, nice backyard, not severely expensive. A good place to take a date or visiting family or even to sit with a glass of wine and a salad. I'm glad they're coming back and we're not seeing another post-ironic artisinal overpriced thing arriving. It might even get me to brave the usual bros out on Ave C.
ReplyDeleteAnd the burger is only $14!
ReplyDeletebeen here twice, the people are nice, the drinks good, but the food is terrible. it's cheap because it's bad cuts of meat? tasted four dishes and would not order any of them again.
ReplyDeleteHad a fabulous dinner here over the weekend - wonderful food, great staff and a lovely atmosphere. I definitely recommend it for a special evening.
