- 212 Lafayette Street, Soho
- Swiss-American kitchen, all-day
- Backdoor speakeasy via the kitchen
- Brunch through late dinner
Café Select has held Lafayette Street since 2008 — the Swiss-American all-day kitchen, the front-room bistro that handles the brunch through the dinner, the back-door speakeasy reached through the kitchen that runs the cocktail register. The format is the most consistent Soho bistro and the room the fashion-week crowd has not in any meaningful sense vacated.
Book the front room at the late brunch, take the rösti, the bratwurst, the fondue in winter. The address is the right answer for the Soho lunch that wants the European register without the French formality.
The Soho bistro the fashion crowd holds.
