Owner of Long-Shuttered Les Enfants Terribles Gets Back Into the LES Bistro Business

Stefan Jonot, who founded the late French charmer Les Enfants Terribles on the east end of Canal before that street was even cool, is planning a comeback in the neighborhood. According to Bowery Boogie, he's pitching a 45-seat seasonal French bistro to the Community Board, which will focus on "seasonal, locally sourced and organic products; affordably priced." The restaurant will be open throughout the day, and a sample menu includes pastries from Bakehouse in the West Village, along with bagels and bialys from nearby Kossar's for breakfast, a handful of sweet and savory crepe options for lunch, and a fairly traditional French menu of a daily roast, vegetarian couscous, and marget de canard for dinner. Jonot's last restaurant closed in March 2013 and morphed into Icelandic restaurant Skal. 173 Henry Street, Lower East Side
