Profile

With Solex, his French wine bar with partner Christophe Chartron-Maichaud, Frederick Twomey of the Italian Bar Veloce and the Spanish Bar Carrera has, as he puts it, “completed the triad.” As at all his establishments, the look is sleek and streamlined, with a semi-vaulted ceiling, counter-height tables, and a striking wine-storage system that serves as décor. The small-plate menu features a beef Wellington éclair in addition to a variety of tarts, quiches, cheese, and charcuterie, all priced between $5 and $16. The wines are culled from all over France, including lesser-known districts like Savoie and Jura. — Robin Raisfeld and Rob Patronite

Went last night, tried a bunch of different small plates, they were all fantastic. Mushroom tart, cheese plate, goat cheese tart, pigs in blanket...yum yum! Wine was priced extremely well. Service was super attentive, i will be back again.
