14.5/20Critics' PickBar Superette
Contemporary$$
Open day to night for small plates and big energy.
“Mixed Business” reads the tagline at the top of Superette’s menu, and that it is. You can use this all-day, restaurant-bar hybrid in several ways: pop in for a glass of indie-label wine and a charcuterie plate, do a sit-down lunch or dinner at one of the tight-packed banquettes, or scoop up a picnic’s worth of wine, tinned fish, pickles and fancy crisps.
If you’re plumping for the full meal experience, expect shareable hibachi-fired plates such as chubby scallops on the half-shell, juiced up with creamed corn and espelette, or stracciatella that walks a tightrope of bitter, sweet and heat thanks to radicchio and hot honey.
There’s pasta and French-ish mains such as confit duck and grilled swordfish with dijon veloute, and an unapologetically nostalgic sundae to round things off. The clientele? They’re a mixed business too; the place heaves equally with big-city visitors and devoted locals.
Good to know: In welcome news for out-of-season visitors, the place is open all year-round.
