More information on Far East Plaza
Brasserie Jo showcases the casual side of chef Jean Joho, whose upscale Everest, is one of the city's longtime gourmet destinations. The high-ceilinged dining room here is open and spacious (as compared to a cozy bistro); you'll feel as if you're dining in an Art Deco Parisian cafe. Following in the tradition of the classic Alsatian brasserie (meaning "brewery"), Brasserie Jo makes a malty house brew, and diners are welcome for a quick stop-in snack with a glass of wine or a full five-course meal. Since the restaurant is open relatively late on weekends, this also makes a good stop for dessert (grab a seat at the pressed-metal bar).You can order a hearty Alsatian choucroute here, but the menu focuses more on casual French classics: Entrees are divided into seafood, steak, and a variety of bistro-style specialitees (chicken coq au vin, pork tenderloin ratatouille, rack of lamb). One house specialty that's worth a try is the "shrimp bag," a phyllo pastry filled with shrimp, peas, and herb rice garnished with lobster sauce. Save room for dessert: The delightfully decadent Crepes Magnifique live up to their name with an amazing alchemy of thin crepes, bananas, and chocolate. I also love the rich chocolate mousse, which is served tableside from a massive silver bowl, then topped with fresh cream and shaved chocolate -- just like in Paris. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
