A trendy spin-off of Balthazar in SoHo, Pastis looks like it was shipped in, tile by nicotine-stained tile, from Pigalle. At night throngs of whippet-thin cell-phone-slinging boys and girls gather at the bar up front to sip martinis and be seen. French favorites are front and center, including toothsome steak-frites with béarnaise, mussels steamed in Pernod, and tasty apple tartlet with phyllo crust.

Great place for an informal evening.
