A Gallic wind is blowing through a sleepy section of Midtown East.

Wanderlust, from French restaurateur Eric Cerato, is slated to open next month at 1004 Second Ave. at 53rd Street.

The white-walled eatery with crystal chandeliers will feature an eclectic global menu with dishes ranging from oysters with ginger, Cuban croquetas with ham and cheese, shrimp pad thai and that French Canadian sidedish favorite, poutine.

Breakfast and brunch options include crepes with lemon and orange; lobster rolls; and “the full English,” with eggs, bacon, sausage, mushrooms and tomatoes.

Cerato also owned the longtime classic French restaurant, La Mangeoire, which closed earlier this month after a 43-year-run. He plans on opening a new restaurant in the space this fall.

La Mangeoire was tough to close “because we are emotionally attached to it but a fresh aesthetic will attract a new demographic while still offering our existing customers a quality they have come to expect,” Cerato said.

Cerato will also soon open another new restaurant in the Meatpacking District. Encore, at 3,000 square feet, will have 175 seats and farm to table local produce helmed by top French chef Jean Imbert.
