French Restaurants in Brooklyn, NY

“Went for brunch. Good food but not great, pricey, with slightly over salted ham in the Croque Madame for my liking. We had a reservation for 4 but that changed to 6. They really couldn't accommodate that change, but it was last minute so I don't hold that against them. Very busy place with lots of energy.“

“Overall fantastic food, but a couple of the dishes were over salted (leeks and chittara especially)

Will be back for the chicken liver parfait and the duck and the wine. Great service. Most of the wine on the list is natural which I don’t normally like (I prefer tradition/ classically made wine) and our server helped us find something we would enjoy. We had a delicious Provençal red.“

“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!“

“The absolute best burger I have ever eaten, hands down! Excellent service and ambiance. Highly recommend!“

“I had been wanting to try HOUSE for a while now, being a regular shopper at Dashi Okume. However, had been wary of fine dining experiences in Greenpoint after trying 2 so-so places that privileged novelty over flavor. Well let me tell you, HOUSE did not disappoint.

Picture this. You arrive in a quiet street in Greenpoint, with the typical warehouse-y yet clean, modern and minimalist vibe. You see the interior through giant bay windows of a dimly lit store with Japanese products and ceramics. You see people waiting inside and other patrons dining at the café. By then the store is closed, so you ring the intercom to get in. You wait to be called to the HOUSE, in the back of the store. It feels like you are at your friend's house, and your friend is a sophisticated person with a beautiful house and he cooks for you. The atmosphere is quiet but elevated. There are 10 seats. And you are hosted by 4-5 people. It feels luxurious. You may start the dinner as perfect strangers, but you certainly make friends along the experience.

And the food is incredible. Your friend is an amazing cook. From start to finish, the story is coherent, with subtle development and transitions that never miss a beat or take you somewhere uncomfortable. Flavors are predominantly Japanese forward with some international ingredients and techniques. Noting for example the Monaka filled with ricotta and corn or the french tuile on top of a burrata with berries, reminiscent of Scandinavian flavors.

The highlight of the menu for me was the noodles. With a fragrant Dashi and rich egg noodles covered in egg yolk and fish roe, the final dish on the meal is an unmistakably Japanese grand finale, with an explosion of flavors.

Fantastic experience. Thank you team.“

“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!!“

“It was my first time eating at Margot and I’m sure it won’t be the last. Excellent service, great atmosphere, and above all, delicious food! If I had to recommend one dish, I’d go with the Homage to Zuni chicken, but honestly, whatever you order will be a great choice!“

“Wonderful food in a beautiful garden setting ( indoor seating also French cozy)“

“Really amazing meal with great service. We had the fillet of sole of course which was tender and perfectly prepared, not overwhelmed in butter. Starting with Sun chokes with caviar which was a very creative preparation and finishing with chocolate mousse. Our server was very attentive and knowledge about our wine. We will definitely be going back!“

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

“Very good restaurant, highly recommended! !👍👍👍“

“My friend and I went for Restaurant Week/celebrated her birthday and the service was impeccable, the complementary amuse bouche was delicious and the food was fantastic. Our steaks were cooked to perfection and my creme brulee was one of the best I've had in as long as I can remember. The drinks were delicious as well! I will be returning, I'm sure!“

“Great every time. Everything is beyond menu description.“

“This place is divine. The bartenders make you feel welcome immediately. When we sat down we ordered a couple appetizers and wow, huge flavor! French onion was on point, salmon tiradito was INCREDIBLE. Duck slliders are awesome with that deep only duck flavor topped with extra crunchy shallots.... Perfect balance. Salmon entree was perfectly cooked (which never happens nowadays)
I'm in no way a food critic but I've traveled all around the world. If you want to eat delicious food from several cultures under one roof, this is your hut!“

“An incredible dining experience in Brooklyn. The tasting menu feels like a theatrical performance — beautifully choreographed from start to finish. The French-Japanese fusion dishes are refined, balanced, and full of surprises. Service is attentive, the atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed, and the location is very convenient by subway (but parking is nearly impossible). The duck pie is a stunning presentation, though the other dishes impressed me more in flavor. Perfect for a special occasion — they even offer a small cake if noted for a celebration. Would definitely return to try a new menu.“

“There's a lot of competition in terms of delicious chicken in the neighborhood but Risbo's roast chicken is in a league of it's own. It's quite literally perfection. Sides are a bit greasy but solid vibes, service and other patrons! What a hidden gem for the neighborhood. Will be back to check out the happy hour soon!“

“Amazing food. Amazing service. 10/10“

“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.“

“This one is a hidden gem that we found while Googling good foods nearby. We ordered the Steak & Eggs, a Nachos with Chicken. Curry Mussels, Guava Mimosa, and an Escargot. Everything was fantastic, especially the curry mussels. We'll be back soon!“

“My favorite bar in Prospect Heights!!!!! Located on the cutest corner with the best ambiance, patio, bar, music, and people!!! The burger here is out of this world— brioche bun, garlic parm aioli, tomato aleppo jam, French meunster cheese, carmelized onion, smashed patties I mean it really can’t get better and more delicious than that, it’s definitely my favorite on the menu. I come here for that homey yet chic experience and excellent place to sip a wine with a friend. Grateful this place exists!!!!“

“Best Mussels hands down !!!!!!“

“I absolutely love it !!. As a native new Yorker who loves food its always been difficult to find and eat french food because as you know most french restaurants are pricy and need reservations I stumbled upon this place on my lunch break as I work nearby I got the Le parisian and it was phenomenal I love the price point ,staff and Overall expirence“

“🙌 amazing food.Very good service“

“Had this place on my list for a while - every day their Insta stories break my heart for seeing what I miss here! And they didn’t disappoint. We ordered the vegan chickpea sando with extra egg and a special: spicy lemon drop + basil chicken cutlet sandwich. Also a tiny raspberry cakey treat and the pecan pie for takeaway. Everything was divine, super fresh, super creative, super colorful and flavor bombs. I wish I could go every day since they have new specials daily! Also the drink menu is not to miss - the date oat milk shake was so goooood. Only downside: it tends to get a little chill since there’s a lot of people going in and out. But it’s a busy place for a reason!“

“I am transported to the south of France here and I’ve never even been there. This place is so lovely, the food is incredible. I loved every moment we were here. Don’t hesitate, just come. And bring wine. You won’t regret it! There was no wait on a Saturday night, we just walked in. I know I’ll be back.“

“We Share Everything; and this cool place was a great date spot for Tasha and I“

“Extensive Market Knowledge:** Suzan Mchugh extensive market knowledge positions her as a resourceful source for understanding global economic trends. Investors benefit from insights that go beyond the immediate investment landscape, providing a broader perspective.“

“Y’all this place is really cute. I’d describe the ambiance as romantic city vibes b/c the view is everything! All the food was delicious. The servers were attentive, music was at a low level for intimate conversations, & there was a variety of seating options with different views.“

“We had the most wonderful 96th Birthday lunch for our mother, grandmother and great-grandmother at Mexique Cafe. The staff were amazingly accommodating and went beyond our expectations. The food was delicious and all 10 dishes arrived at the same time. It was quite a feat when all 10 dishes were different! We will definitely return before her 97th Birthday!“

“This is our second visit to Bacchus and they did not disappoint, having not wanted to cook today Christmas Day we decided to dine at Bacchus. Everything was exceptional from the appetizers to the main course and dessert and the service I could not find fault. You guys did a great job today on the menu. thank you and all the best to you and your staff in 2024“

“Very delicious North African/French cuisine. The vibe is tranquil yet attentive. The food was well-prepared with deep flavors. Excellent service.“

“I order a galette des rois every year for my wife’s birthday, which falls on Three Kings Day. It never disappoints, and I mean never. This year we decided to be extra generous and share with friends. Everyone raved! Yvan is always responsive and the business is professional and attentive to their customers. Five Stars for Pistache!“

“This cafe is a gem. We ordered the mint fruit salad and breakfast sandwich, both simple but delicious. The ingredients felt fresh and the bread was perfect, soft on the inside and just crunchy enough on the outside. The fresh orange juice with ginger was also super refreshing on a hot day. The interior is beautiful too, a true European vibe.“

“We have a grate time👍👍👍“

“Very good chicken taijin!“

“Croque Monsieur ,eggs,salades tout est bon et frais . Pour un Brunch sympa“

“I had my birthday party at Baku last Saturday and we had a great time. The food was delicious, the music was great, the service was amazing, and the show was incredibly entertaining. Overall, Baku made my 20th birthday feel very special. You should definitely consider them to celebrate any event!“

“Good food but strange policy. The waiter took our order and disappeared. Supplemental staff served the food. There was no normal waiter service. Then the tab included an added fee for "restaurant service" of about 15% That money I was told goes to the owner! No wonder the waiter went home.“
