French Restaurants near Bayonne, NJ

“My husband and I are total foodies and love supporting small businesses, and this place was recommended to us by a friend. We were in the mood for something that felt like a dinner date without heading too far from home, and Adour totally hit the mark. Let me tell you, for the affordable prices, the quality of the food blew us away. The ambiance was exactly what we were looking for cozy, elevated, and with great vibes all around. We kept it classic with a rosé and a Hugo Spritz (both so refreshing), for starters we got the mussels in tomato sauce, and for dinner we ordered the lamb chops and the Adour burger with truffle fries - absolutely to die for. We ended the night with their apple crumble dessert, and it was the perfect finish. 😍 Bonus: they serve brunch, too! No need to trek to JC or Hoboken for that cute, trendy, affordable brunch spot, it’s right here in the neighborhood. Tell George I sent you! 😏“

“Great late lunch on a nice spring day. Moules Frites were excellent“

“Blown away by interior design, topped with finger-licking food, friendly service, and such a well crafted drinks!“

“A fun place with interesting people watching but I came alone hoping to sit at the bar and was expecting and comfortable with waiting for an hour since it was as a Saturday (it was 6pm but that wasn’t early enough), but they were not sitting solo diners and instead would wait for seats next to each other to open up to sit couples, at one point leaving and open seat available for about 20 minutes.“

“Had to swing by the new Boucherie and see what this new addition was bringing to the Chicago scene. My visit on a Sunday at 7:30pm was way different than my visit on a Thursday night at 8:30pm. Sunday was calm, spacious with a very moderate noise level but Thursday night was oddly the complete opposite - it was loud, busy and had much less space! 😂 I’d definitely say be cognizant of that when you go; the vibes can vary. The drinks were good - my favorite was “La vie en rose” and the French martini was tasty as well. Loved the escargots and the garlic butter sauce they were drowned in! I also had the saumon roti and that choron sauce on top was delish! I wasn’t a fan of the Paris-Brest for dessert, but the crème brûlée was good! The interior is so beautiful! 😍 Stop by for a visit and see how you like this new Chicago restaurant! Ask for Manuel to be your waiter - he was the best!!!“

“Food and service spectacular. Beautiful room.“

“Friendly staff, we were not rushed and were made to feel welcome. A perfect spot to pass an hour in a soggy day! (Though skip the Apple tart for dessert - super soggy)“

“Amazing food and ambiance.“

“LeBernardin is the kind of dining experience you'd dress up for, book in advance, and immerse yourself in for hours. If you're looking for a taste of New York City dining elegance or a memorable evening, this is the place to be. While the prices aren't cheap, the sophistication and rhythmic atmosphere here are truly a treasure to be cherished.“

“Great!“

“Very chic city atmosphere with a beautiful bar & dining area indoors. The food and service was outstanding.“

“A very fancy and romantic restaurant.“

“My steak was delicious. It’s a great late night place with a cool vibe.“

“The service at Levant on Smith was top notch. I only wish the food had been. It was fine but nothing was so tasty that I would go back for more. Even the hot water for my tea was lukewarm. Again, the servers were super and even inquired if we didn't enjoy the meal because we left so much. The food just wasn't that great.“

“What a fantastic dining experience! Each dish was perfectly prepared, elegantly presented, and tasted amazing. We were glad Chef Christophe came out to say hello so we could tell him personally how much we enjoyed his creations. Gavin did a wonderful job serving us and the warm hospitality shown us by Karen and her team exceeded expectations. This is a special place - wish I could give it more than 5 stars!“

“If heaven has a restaurant, it would be just like this. Everything was perfect. I enjoyed Lunch, from the 2026 Winter Restaurant week menu. welcoming hostess-(phone & in person) Service-Excellent (you will never have to search for someone to help you) Food-beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Every morsel was wonderful. Make a reservation and enjoy a meal here. “

“We had Christmas Eve dinner here and it was a wonderful experience! There was a partial view of the tree from our seat but it was still very special. The dining room isn’t super large and feels cozy and festive. It wasnt too noisy either. Service was great, very professional. There was a moment when they cleared crumbs off the table and accidentally brushed some onto my dads lap😅

The food was wonderful! The flavors were delicious and filled us up. I read other reviews that the portions were small but I wouldn’t agree. Only the lobster was “small” as the serving was only half a lobster. I had the Dover sole and got very full. The starter burrata pasta was so delicious I almost wished it was my main!“

“Dining at Le Rivage has become a family tradition. My MIL would eat there when she lived in NYC decades ago. She returned with her son (my husband) when he was young. Now, in 2025, we took our boys there on their first visit to NYC. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The food is always wonderful. Highly recommended.“

“Blown away by interior design, topped with finger-licking food, friendly service, and such a well crafted drinks!“

“Phenomenal French food, one of the best meals I have ever had. Truly a hidden gem.“

“Great French place. Tough to get in. Go early.“

“Would highly recommend! The menu has great variety along with excellent execution. The portions are perfect for sharing and the quality of the food is well worth the price. The yellow cake with a Cappachino is the perfect way to end the meal.“

“Cool place and enjoy the food, drink , enironment.“

“The food is amazing and the ambiance is just what I love about this city must visit!!! 🤩“

“Food and drinks were amazing.“

“We had a wonderful brunch at Lafayette. This is one of my favorite brunch spots in the city. Our server was wonderful and attentive! The vibe and the ambiance are so chic! 10/10“

“The food was amazing. I highly recommend the Croque Madame. Lena was a spectacular server, we could not have asked for better.“

“It was a wonderful experience our waiter and everyone was just fantastic and the food was amazing!!“

“Diogo is the best! Drinks are so refreshing and hit the spot especially right after work. We arrived around 5:30 when the place just started to get busy. Diogo helped us grab a table so we didn’t need to stand at the bar after a long work day“

“Honestly, La Ripaille is fine. The wine selection is good, the servers are very nice, however the owner is exceptionally rude and uncomfortable to be around. He openly scolded servers doing a fantastic job in the middle of the dining room for no reason. The food is good enough, but a bit overpriced. That being said, the fries taste remarkably like fries that I'm sure you've had before... that's all I'll say about that if you get what I mean. Overall, pretty good, would consider going back.“

“Excellent food with horrible service. I had the strangest time here, where the food was incredible but the service didn’t match. After being seated we waited an agonizing amount of time for anyone to actually say hello and serve us some water and bring us menus. I was starting to think maybe we offended someone or were being pranked we waited so long. This theme continued as our waitress proceeded to bring us one of the wrong dishes we didn’t order and then not even give us the dessert we asked for. I’m not sure what Carmille’s problem is but don’t take it out on us for wanting some good food.“

“We enjoyed a lovely Sunday brunch at the outside seating. The atmosphere was great, and everything was delicious. Patricia was our server and she was attentive, friendly, and made our experience even better. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you❤︎“

“Great food. Great atmosphere. The food is great, especially the French onion soup. Definitely a go-to spot for me and my wife when visiting NYC.“

“Favorite restaurant, delicious food, sublime wine, amazing chefs Robbie & Sam , friendly and welcoming owners, Clement & Simone go above and beyond to make your experience of their gem of a restaurant simply the best! Love this treasure in our neighborhood, make your reservation and try as much as you can on the menu, every mouthful is just wonderful!!“

“I took my friend to Balthazar for her birthday and we had lunch. We had a 2:30 reservation and the place was completely packed. We both ordered burgers and they were both amazing. They were seasoned well and were juicy. Don’t skip the fries. We decided not to order dessert. We were very full. But the waiter knew it was my friend’s birthday and still brought over the best vanilla ice cream I’ve ever had for her. They even put a candle in it. I will definitely be back and make sure you make a reservation was packed on a random Wednesday afternoon.“

“Benjamin was truly the best of the best. He greeted me with a warm smile and was very patient, even taking my orders with care. He really was the real deal. He served me hot chocolate and a croissant, and he even gave me a cup to enjoy the rest of my chocolate on the go. I’ll definitely come back again because of the top-tier service he provided. Bravo, Tartinery!“

“amazing food! if your out for a night in the city and want a wonderful dining experience go here!“

“I'm glad I discovered this spot and shall definitely return!
My Caffè latte and sandwich were v good, the latter reminiscent of the baguettes jambon i used to enjoy in Paris, though a bit on the salty side. I also ordered a beignet which was less good, alas.
Service is also excellent“

“Best Mussels hands down !!!!!!“

“Oysters were so fresh and the service was good!They had a happy hour for $11 of a glass of wine and $20 of a choice of an appetizer with a glass of wine. I thought the food was a reasonable price and I would definitely come again. The atmosphere is great too, when we came it was still empty, but when it hit 6:30 there were more people.“
