French Restaurants near Bronx, NY

“Me and my daughter, enjoyed this restaurant so much during our Mommy and Me weekend! The atmosphere was laid back and quite relaxing. The service was superb and the food was so good, we had to order food to bring home. I would give this establishment 6 stars if I could. We were both very pleased and we will be dining here again very soon. If you have not been here, you should definitely give them a visit. Peace and Love, Chele from the Block.“

“White rice red beans and teriyaki chicken yum yum.
The place is clean and smells good. The servers speak both Spanish and English very well, which is great as you cater to the majority of the customers.
The setup is nice as you have a sitting bar for a quick grab (eat and go area).

The food layout is good. No flies, no bugs seen.. I love it...

Again, that food is delicious, not salt at all... very good, and thanks

Visited again and got white rice red bean and teriyaki chicken, and it tasted awesome just the same. The food was hot and it looked good.
Different people serve food and different people handle money... very good“

“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.“

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

“We had a nice time, and the food was good. We were however told to leave as there was another reservation waiting (we were hence offered a drink at the bar which never came), and the doorman got angry at us for opening the door in the wrong way.
So would have been perfect if not for those two departure hick ups sadly.“

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

“Food and service spectacular. Beautiful room.“

“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!!!“

“My husband and I had the best night at Daniel! Our server Caesar made our anniversary so special with a kitchen tour. Everything was exceptional and Caesar made the night unforgettable!!!“

“Accueil est cordial, le personnel professionnel , la nourriture est très bonne. Un petit coin de Provence à New York. Ambiance sympa 👍🏻“

“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)“

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

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

“A very fancy and romantic restaurant.“

“Delicious 3 course lunch. The calypso cocktail was smooth and strong. Scallops were large large and perfectly cooked came with a delicious butternut squash sauce favorite part of the meal. The octopus also came with the sauce. The steelhead trout had a super crispy skin with a beautiful flake to the fish.“

“Sometimes you have an experience that makes you wish you could clone yourself and align your clone -so that your clone... could eat everything on the menu that you didn't pick the first time around.  What a fantastically funky ride!!! Classic Bistro French with NYC attitude. There is something transcendent about those soufflé potatoes, it's like... the greatest elevated deconstructed, sour cream and onion potato chips...and at the risk of sounding like Moon Unit Zappa...”totally tubular!” What I loved most other than the food, (I wish I had another clone who could go back and order all of the other desserts, but I had my heart set on the Ile Flottant (nobody does that anymore!) which was a cloud of vanilla) was the VIBE. Its FUN! Dare I say...convivial? Like my experience recently at Wild Cherry- your sister funkified watering hole of splendor-it is a restaurant that is almost designed to force conversation with the people sitting next to you, which is a decidedly Parisian experience-marrying a New York experience that has long since gone away with the advent of horrible things called cell phones. By the end of the night? The couple who were seated next to us were clinking glasses and cracking up with my husband and I. Turns out? They had an identical order appetizer main course and dessert to us just in the opposite order!!!! It is my hope that this incredible restoration which both honors old New York gastronomic history with Parisian tradition is here to stay because I've gotta come back and try a whole lot more !“

“La Cafette is the best!!!“

“New York is one of the world's great cities, a global center for media, entertainment, arts, fashion, research, finance and trade. This busy, modern city is the fourth largest metropolitan area in the world and the most populous city in the United States.“

“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!“

“Essential by Christophe, was an exsperience of simplicity meets elegance and delicasy. Front of house staff were fast, aware and effective. You could feel seen and taken Care of without being overlooked. Asking tricky questions regarding the food or technices used in the kitchen was no problem for the staff to answer. This was especially true when it came to our host Michael. The dinning room was nicely designed, in a Way that give you room for yourself. But you could still hear and feel the joy of the other guests around you when they enjoyed their food. The food, was perfect. Im not a poet but it felt like a love letter to cooking. I Got invested in to every single component on the dishes. You also got the feeling that chef Christophe loves the ocean, with 2 of the dishes being chosen as oyster and langoustine. And the 2 multiple choise dishes I decided on were the scallop with caviar and the turbot. If you have the time and money this is a must visit.“

“The shrimp and lamb were delicious and tasted very warm and homemade. Don’t skip on dessert, the corn cake was very good with some of the freshest ice cream I’ve had. The service was also really good, I recommend this place for a casual dinner!“

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

“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.“

“Good place, to eat dinner, everything you want and good French wine.“

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

“Amazing food and ambiance.“

“Loulou is a leader in supporting the courageous medical staff tasked against covid across NYC! Today, they are delivering 40 meals to ICU doctors. Amazing, selfless work - pouring all of their resources into those who are keeping our city alive. Please consider supporting loulou so that they can continue feeding NYC‘s heroes! Food, drinks - much needed pick-me-ups - right to your door! We love you Loulou! 💗“

“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.“

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

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

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

“Food and drinks were amazing.“

“Restaurant Yuu is where Japanese omakase meets French cuisine in the most thoughtful and refined way. This was truly a one-of-a-kind dining experience — every course felt intentional, balanced, and beautifully executed.

Chef Yuu is an artist. The precision, creativity, and harmony of flavors were on another level. What made the evening even more special was the unique collaboration with a chef from Edinbane Lodge from the Isle of Skye in Scotland — such a rare and inspired partnership that added depth and character to the experience.

We celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary here, and we couldn’t have chosen a better place for such a meaningful night. The atmosphere, the storytelling through food, and the overall care put into the experience made it unforgettable.

A truly exceptional restaurant.“

“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.“

“I have to admit, every dish here is absolutely exquisite.“

“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“

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

“One of my favorite place to go in the city ! Very friendly people and food 🥘 is always great 😊“

“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.“

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

“Great food, good service 🇫🇷“

“Very nice atmosphere - :)“

“Every detail here seems thoughtfully considered. I plan to tell family members about this restaurant where good food comes with good service. The service responded with remarkable efficiency and everyone displayed genuine delight. All items satisfy completely. Having easy access to this spot is great.“

“Excellent all around dining experience that did not disappoint our much awaited anticipation In a casual and inviting surroundings you are given great innovative food for 9 courses I enjoyed every course with the standouts for me being the baratta cheese. Eggplant and wagu beef.courses The service was very personable and the sake list extensive I enjoyed watching the chef so closely preparing every dish. The limited dining crowd keeps the quality and casual ambience possible. They keep the menu different each season so you can repeat the experience. My only wish is they would have a lunch or other meals with fewer courses as a secondary option so you could enjoy this food more frequently.“

“We didn't make a reservation, but we were willing to sit outside, which was enjoyable. We were able to observe New York walk by as we ate the very tasty food. The escargot, halibut, duck and banana caramel dessert were all so good. Definitely a restaurant to try and get to when visiting NYC.“

“We were seated in the back at some corner which was pretty uncomfortable to me as I felt claustrophobic there. There was an available table in the front. I asked to be seated there but they couldn’t because “it’s a table for three” and it was two of us. Interestingly, they could seat one person at the table for two and they could seat three persons at the table for four.“

“Great place, delicious food, attentive staff …“

“Great food, great staff, great restaurant“

“We had grilled squid, a super fresh salad I absolutely loved, and a tender fish dish that was cooked perfectly. Ended the night with their special dessert and two amazing cocktails. Everything was just right — cozy, delicious, and beautifully done. 💛🍸“

“Delicious food and sauces! And a must-try chocolate martini“
