Bisou

On our lists of the best romantic restaurants and wine bars in New York.

A French wine bar on Sixth Avenue in West SoHo, Bisou keeps a small, well-chosen list and a staff ready to walk newcomers through it. The kitchen turns out baked brie, French onion soup and a mushroom risotto alongside its charcuterie boards, with a private room in back for larger groups. The main room has a lounge-like feel, low light and close tables.
