Stephanie Laurent stacks a French eatery on top of a ground-floor bar, wrapped up in a Rive gauche atmosphere ever-so-affected by Italian and American influences. A rather classic—and therefore welcome—bistro menu that relies heavily on in-house flair to deliver an over-the-top meal that's as surprising as it is satisfying. A long list of reasonably-priced wines accompany your food menu, and our advice is to go with your first impulse because that's what le Magnifique is all about.
