The chef here is known for his tarte flambees, which is pretty much an Alsatian pizza. The by-the-glass gewurztraminer is a must try as well
for a 4-course fixed price dinner of this caliber, GK delivers on every level (especially price, which is less than what you'd think for a meal this memorable and luxurious. [>$98/pp])
At this Chinatown bistro, curry and coconut perfume the air, as husband-wife team Marc Kaczmarek and Mei Chau bustle around, hefting giant portions of homestyle Malaysian fare at Lilliputian prices. Leia mais.
French onion soup was not too salty & 1 of the better ones I've had in NYC. Potato patty was better than the frites.
Omelet w/ smoked salmon was ok but would've been better w/ crème fraîche mixed w/ lemon & chive. Shrimp cocktail was fresh w/ medium-sized shrimps & ridiculously good cocktail sauce.
Don't sit by window! Hostesses are stupid & rude to seat 4 ppl @ these tables meant for 2 ppl!! TO OWNER/CHEF: As a result, we ordered LESS to fit our tiny, uncomfy table & didn't even order dessert!
Absolute fave: French Onion soup!! ;9 Choucroute is also good. Had Steak Frites w/ both Au poivre & red wine sauces on side-both great but I prefer the wine sauce. SKIP Les Halles & come here!
I'd lose a fortune & gain a ton if I lived any closer...The most heavenly, delicate macarons have arrived from Paris to NYC: orange blossom, rose & ginger, blackcurrant violet, & many more.
If you decide to go a la carte, try the meyer lemon royale with sea urchin, followed by the slow baked arctic char and if you have room, the warm guanaja chocolate coulant is a must!
Skip Nougatine next door & spend the extra $6! 2-dish lunch PF w/ comp 3-taste amuse bouche & 6-pcs of homemade petit 4's: chocolates,macaron,fruit gelée,& nut brittle. Uni & sea bass were my faves.;9
Great cozy seating. La Columbe coffee is the standard-awesome. Croque Madame is brunch worthy. Apple turnover, to die 4. Pain au chocolate, sometimes is still warm--Ridic! Run there, don't walk.
i'm not even a fan of lemon desserts but the lemon-poppy kouign amann at this place was seriously the best thing EVER. such a nice balance of crunchy outside + soft, squishy insides + custard. perfect
Great deserts of course but the most surprising thing they offer are incredible breakfast sandwiches - ham and cheese croissant is my fav - and healthy to-go salads for lunch!
Great ambiance. Macha jasmine latte and macha pistachio cake were delightful. Just a touch of sweetness to let the matcha shine through.
Love the matcha cream puff and scones here. Gets crowded so you have to fight people for room on the narrow slab of wood.
Matcha Jasmine late and the banana bread are amazing!!! Didn't like the Matcha cream puffs
Banana bread, they also make their own English muffin sandwiches. Matcha green tea latte is good as well
Amazing bakery! Instead of the Crueller (which is great) try the Kouign-Amann, a beautiful French treat. The sausage egg sandwich is absolutely delish; add their in-house sauce to every bite.
Best croissants in the city. Almond croissant is something special. Coffee is made for you to chill for a while, gigantic cups!
My favorite French restaurant in Tokyo. Very unique concept and really impressive food. Leia mais.
Creative, elegant, delicate French cuisine with gorgeous environment and nice seaview~perfect for any celebration or just for gluttony :)
When I’m on the go I grab a banh mi, made with our homemade pâté, sausage and ham, it is the most incredible on the planet. For something sweet, a crispy on the outside, soft on the inside canelé.
Great carrot ginger soup! A bit expensive for a snack place but the quality of the food is really good.
I keep coming back for the amazingly fresh & juicy apricot danish, Kouign Amann & almond croissants!
LOVED raspberry croissant, chocolate cookie, & Blue Bottle coffee (from SF!) here! Bacon gruyere scone were pretty decent. So is Kouign Amann when they have 'em. Unique macaron flavors!
My absolute fave is the Kouign-amann, which tastes like a more sugary croissant that's crispy on the outside & soft inside. For macarons, Maison Ladurée still reigns supreme!
This locale is a bit of a bummer: mostly a tourist trap, crowded & not as comfy as UWS locale-which is the 1 that offers my fave Kouign Amann in NYC. For macarons, Maison Ladurée still reigns supreme!
HH drink & food specials Mon-Fri's 5-7 + Sat-Sun's 4-7pm: $1 BP oysters, $9 for 2 lobsters or burger sliders on a plate.
Pastas are definitely the more frugal option here, where golden orbs of salmon roe are tucked into a nest of Papillons (farfalle or bow tie pastas) and bathed in a lemon-creme fraiche for $22. Leia mais.
This is great French cuisine. The desserts are amazing. The tarte aux Pommes was a pleasure.
I love this place. Great food, good vibes. Happy hour is 4-7pm and 12am till closing. Great live performances every Mon, Tues, Fri night. Brunch menu available weekends 10 am - 4 pm.
$1 E coast oysters + $6 wines + save $3 on beers @ the bar during HH 4-7pm + 12am-2am. Live music Mon, Tue & Fri nights. Brunch menu available weekends 10 am - 4 pm. Also, Yelp Cash Back spot.
Pain de Gruyere = to die for. Your mouth won't know what to do except smile :) Get a loaf to go if the bakery line isn't too long. If so, you can buy at the table at restaurant price for $0.50 more.
Best Baguette: baguette Monge-slightly swollen at middle & slender at tips, crackly outer crust yielding to a moist, almost damp crumb...tastes buttery w/o butter, rich & complex w. a subtle tang.
Delicious French pastries. Obviously the chocolate croissant is a must, but the Yuzu pastry is also good!
Chocolate almond croissants were some of the best I've ever had, not too heavy or oily. We had lunch - salad was good, salmon was amazing.
Stop in to get a ham & cheese croissant & their amazingly refreshing Summer Tropical Garden Herbal Iced Tea -a blend of mango, pineapple, papaya & peach flavor! 😋
Trout was not good. Steak ah povire is great. French onion soup is the best. Sancerre is also amazing. Trout is like well done. Avoid that
Like this pricier Belgian café chain's curried ckn salad tartine, pastries, waffles, fruit jams & salmon omelettes + vegan options. This 1's the worst: lazy & slow staff, tiny, filthy + 0 ambiance!
This Noho restaurant is just a beautiful outside as it is inside. Leia mais.
The coffee is solid (Le Columbe) as are the mini cookies (3 for $1.75 - try the chocolate chip) and mini baguette sandwiches.
HH Tue-Sat’s 5:30-7pm: $3 Coronas & Narragansett’s; $5 grilled cheese sammie’s, tacos, sliders, BLT’s; $7 wines, crab cakes & lobster sliders; $10 Dark & Stormy’s.
HH M-F 3-6pm w/ $1 oysters & couple of drink specials @ Le Bar. Grab a seat outside for good Hudson River water views of yachts & downtown NJ. Otherwise, mediocre food & slow service.
My go-to bar B4 an E’side Bdwy show. All abt Belgian beer & Moules Frites (7 diff preps) here. Ask ‘em 4 enuff broth (1/2 pot) to dunk ur fries. $27 AYCE Mussels & Fries w/ beer Sun’s+Mon’s after 4pm!
Fan of their Brown Sugar DKA even tho’ it’s denser than Bouchon Bakery’s & the canelle’s are M’s faves but not loving the little flies buzzing around uncovered pastries.
IMPRESSIVE UES French bakery w/ FRESHEST Mixed Berries Tart, BEST Tarte aux Pommes + Flan Pâtissier I’ve had in yrs! Skip mediocre macarons! Quiches + Ham & Cheese Croissant are also MUST-TRY’s!
