Zimmi's
French
The madeleines come out warm, baked to order, gilded nearly brown at the edges, and the Times critic named them among her favorite dishes of the year without mentioning Proust once, which takes restraint. Zimmi's is a rustic Southern French bistro on Bedford Street, the kind of place that makes butter-and-lemon sponge cake feel like an event without making a production of it. West Village regulars fill the room early.

Madeleine
“It is enough to hold a madeleine in the hand, hardly any weight at all, baked to order and warm, gilded nearly to brown, with its telltale ridges and little swell.”
The New York Times, 2025
