Bar Six is a relaxed bistro that attracts a diverse crowd of fashionable young professionals, Bohemian long-timers and locals, and would be welcome in any neigh­bor­­hood, but its classic charm and international edge seem especially suited for the stylish and creative Greenwich Village. This picturesque French Moroccan boîte turns out bistro standards, Mediterranean staples and North African cuisine with equal flair. A Village staple for almost 25 years, when Bar Six opened in 1993 it replaced an older bistro in the same spot, La Gauloise, notable for its handsome Belle Epoque décor, which was retained almost in its entirety. New York Magazine says, “Although the décor at this West Village hangout — yellow walls, red vinyl banquettes, copper-topped café tables and rows of imported bottles of mineral water — indicates an appealing French bistro, the menu also contains comforting North African dishes such as grilled, veggie-packed couscous, and aromatic chicken tagine.”
