New on the corner of Fifth and Fairmount is Lafayette Bistro, a Mediterranean-style BYOB from owner Mondher Khayat and chef/co-owner Ramzi Boughamni.The 50-seat restaurant, built out from scratch in a former antiques store, in wrapped in huge picture windows that look out onto the bustling NoLibs intersection.
Lafayette is the name of a city in Tunisia, and it features a way-diverse population of Christians, Jews and Muslims � hence the multi-discipline thrust of the food. Both owners hail from North Africa, so the menu (apps, seafood, housemade pasta, salads; large plates top out at $26) features several subtle touches from the region, including whole fish, a boiled salad with Mediterranean tuna and entr�e-size Couscous Royal with veggies or chicken. Check out the menu in full after the jump. Lafayette's open daily for dinner from 4 to 10 p.m.
