Boulud Sud
The South of France gets short shrift in most French restaurants, since the food is almost too . . . Italian, with its pistou soup, anchovy pizzas, and tomato-laced potages. But Boulud Sud tackles it, along with several other sunny cuisines that rim the Mediterranean. There's a soupe de poisson that serves as a sort of baby bouillabaisse, a plate of the chickpea fritters called panisse, and a splendid ratatouille with a sunny-side up egg on top. Nothing could be more summery (or summary). 20 West 64th Street, 212-595-1313 (10023)
