202 Seventh Avenue
(between 21st and 22nd
Streets)
I am loath to discuss this gem of a restaurant again, but
wanted to let frequent customers know that Café Champignon is still open. It
just went through a major renovation.
It has now officially combined with what used to be its
companion coffee bar next door. The coffee bar has been converted into a
separate dining-room section, while what used to be the restaurant is now a
bar-and-dessert area.
Along with retaining its former staff as well as its low-key,
cozy atmosphere, the café still also offers the special of a complimentary
cheese plate if you order a bottle of wine.
As it was a rather hot, summer night we ordered a bottle of
the Sancerre La Craie—a dry, crisp white wine that made us feel as if we were
in a bistro in Paris.
Final Thoughts
Still a favorite go-to spot for catching up with friends or
relaxing alone while having a cup of coffee and dessert without feeling rushed.
