Bloggers Experience at Chez Lucienne
Alain from Chez Lucienne
OH EM GEEE!!!! The food was sooooo wonderful at Chez Lucienne. They have a new menu that host a surge of new taste and flavors.
This past Tuesday, October 20th, The Kitty Bradshaw had the opportunity to host a Blogger’s Experience at Chez Lucienne. Ten successful New York Bloggers were hand-picked to attend a Dinner Party sponsored by this wonderful French eatery located uptown. The Blogger’s mission was to experience all that Chez Lucienne had to offer, and give their readers a behind the scenes glimpse.
Traditionnelle Quiche Lorraine
Above… is the best damn Quiché I have ever tasted in my life!!!! I am not sure what that is on top, but it was tasty as hell!!!! Actually, now that I think about it, it is cabbage, loll. I was thrown off by it being sautéed and placed on top of the Quiché to compliment the flavor. Hmmm.. who would have thought that you could sauté cabbage and place it on top of a Quiche?! In any event, I scraped the plate clean, lolll. After eating the Quiché, I felt as if I had never truly experienced Quiché until I had it at Chez Lucienne.
Saumon Fume Fait Maison
So basically, I am a coward loll. I talk a lot of junk when it comes to trying new things… but “At The End Of The Day” I stick with what I know. I, bypassed the frog legs, the snails, the lamb’s leg… and chose the Salmon as my main course. It was EXCELLENT… not the best Salmon I have ever tasted (that award goes to Elizabeth Lounge)… but none-the-less, it was still very tasty! It rested on top of my favorite vegetable, eggplant! Additionally, it had a layer of sautéed onions.
Tarte Tatin Et Creme Fraiche
This desert was interesting….
You all know what this reminded me of?! Peach Cobbler… but the Apple version. I think I like the Crème Brule A La Vanille a lot better. The Tarte was still good… I tried it to be different. However, I am such a Crème Brule whore, I can’t get Chez Lucienne’s version of it out my mind.

follow me on twitter @_mhawk
Look at you!!!
Well on your way to catching up to that other “Bradshaw”!
I had an excellent dining experience, i had a great time and the food was excellent for the most part
mhawk..if you don’t know what to say silence might serve you better.
You know the old saying it is better to close your mouth and be thought of as a fool then to open your mouth and confirm it…
Great Post great spot and i was honored to be included.
This is a fine restaurant, accessible price and location. Well worth the easy train ride. I was pleased to be invited.
That waiter was a master of his craft and when the co-founder, Nadine, talked to us, I felt the warmth. I felt the passion when she said, “When we saw this space open up, we jumped on it and made a Bistro, because that’s what we do, make Bistros” I like that she and her family live in Harlem.
She and Alain have created a few important Manhattan Bistros and I’m hoping Chez Lucienne will be another success for them.
It’s a cozy spot, I love 125th Street, so historic and entertaining.
Sounds like you had a great time. Hope to see you this weekend!
Looks good. I’m gonna have to check out Chez Lucienne asap
Frogs legs & escargot are yummy!
