Chez Tartar

The cuisine at Chez Tartar celebrates the French bistro tradition with a contemporary focus on sharing and quality ingredients. At the heart of the menu lies the restaurant's namesake specialty: expertly prepared tartares that showcase the kitchen's commitment to freshness and technique. The beef tartare and salmon tartare stand as signature offerings, while the sea bass ceviche demonstrates the kitchen's skill with raw preparations and delicate seasoning.

Beyond the tartares, the menu embraces a tapas-style approach that encourages exploration and communal dining. These generous small plates draw inspiration from both land and sea, offering a diverse range of flavors and preparations that invite guests to sample widely and share freely. The house-made philosophy extends throughout the menu, with dishes prepared from scratch using quality ingredients that honor traditional French bistro cooking while embracing a more casual, contemporary presentation style.

The kitchen also offers a selection of salads, including options with frisée that provide lighter alternatives alongside the richer tartare and tapas offerings. Vegetarian options are available, ensuring that all guests can participate in the sharing experience. To complete the meal, the dessert menu features varied options including a notable chocolate moelleux (molten chocolate cake) that provides a satisfying sweet conclusion.

Complementing the food is an impressive selection of house-made fries that have become a point of pride, alongside an extensive wine list and creative cocktail program. The beverage offerings are carefully curated to pair with the diverse menu, with the daily happy hour from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM providing an excellent opportunity to explore these pairings at a more accessible price point. The overall culinary experience emphasizes quality, freshness, and the joy of sharing good food in good company.
