🥧 Tarte Salée and Small Plates

Zimmi’s is an intimate West Village French restaurant on Bedford Street in Manhattan, cooking homestyle dishes with a Southern French lean. Maximé Pradié and Jenni Guizio run it as a partnership, and the understated room stays cozy. Diners give it a 4.5 average across 152 reviews, crediting the refined execution and attentive service.

Start with the spinach and goat cheese tarte salée, then add the pastasciutta, two plates diners single out for refined flavor. Oeuf Mimosa and a sizable endive salad fill out the small plates, and a daily tart might arrive with caramelized onions and anchovies, worth asking about on arrival. Service is attentive throughout.

Dinner runs every night from 5 PM to 11 PM at 72 Bedford Street, and prices sit upscale. A seat at the bar on a Sunday night, paired with a Languedoc wine, makes for an unhurried Southern French supper.
