Elegant yet unassuming, Jean Claude is a welcome change from the Parisian-style bôites that seem to cover Manhattan like poivre on steak. After proudly serving fine French cuisine to Soho (Upper East Side and Sutton place) patrons for over twenty years, Jean Claude has brought its popular menu uptown, including such classics as moules frites and mesclun with goat cheese, as well as exceptional entrées de la mer like roasted codfish, whose bell pepper sauce is as vibrant and robust as the fish is flaky and delicate.
