They had a filet mignon & fois gras special that may be my favorite entrée in all of Bed Stuy. The rest of the food was very good as well, but the frog legs could have been seasoned more liberally. That said, our waiter was kind and attentive, the interior was extremely welcoming, and I very much look forward to going back.

I have eaten here twice in the last two weeks and loved all my meals. Particularly loved the Duck a L’Orange. The restaurant ambience is warm and inviting and the staff are all so friendly and provide excellent service.

We went here yesterday and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. The burger was underwhelming – the beef lacked flavor and the bun was not good at all. Most importantly, we noticed a fly inside our water bottle after already drinking a couple of cups from it. When we pointed this out to the waitress, her reaction was unprofessional; instead of apologizing, she asked “how did this come there?” which felt dismissive and uncomfortable. She had also told us earlier that the burger was her favorite, but when we mentioned the bun wasn’t good, she admitted she didn’t like it either – very inconsistent.
Despite these issues, we still paid our bill with a 10% tip, but we will definitely not be returning.

Every course built toward a complete vision I found remarkable. The staff shows unusual kindness while accommodating all requests. I never feel I've had enough. The staff at L'Antagoniste makes me feel like family. The high regard for L'Antagoniste is justified - it's truly outstanding.

I’ve been coming to l’antagoniste for half a dozen years now and they are consistently delightful. Atmosphere is lovely. Service has always been great. And the food is quality. It’s a special occasion place for me but I also have loved getting their whole chicken for pickup. Enjoy!

Great cozy bday dinner spit. Had the Cliché (escargots, bone marrow and frog legs). Frog leg breading was perfectly crisp and clean. Then we had the Nicoise salad (crushed that), burger, chicken with mushrooms, and apple tart tatin. Had to take half the burger and half the chicken home. Delish leftovers.

Food was a whole vibe 🔥 service on point, wine had me feeling boujee but in a good way 🍷✨
This restaurant is very close to my heart. As a French person living in NY for 11 years, L’antagoniste is the only place that takes me back home. No other so called French spots in the city manage to emulate that special feeling. the vibes are intimate and welcoming, the servers are knowledgeable, kind and discrete. The food is delicious, the wine list is fabulous and prices are hard to beat. It’s a rare thing to come across today in NYC. Amadéo the owner is the kindest and most hospitable person I’ve met in this industry. What really struck me is the authenticity, the quality of products and the attention to details. If you haven’t yet, give this beautiful place a try and tell your friends and loved one about it.

Part 2: went back again the following night and had an equally delicious meal. If you're in Brooklyn and love French cuisine, this is the place for you!

A perfect little French restaurant in Brooklyn. After visiting it the night before I returned for the second time and enjoyed it equally. If you enjoy French food, this place is highly and if you're greeted by Amadeus the owner and are served by Charlie, your experience will be complete.

Some items were left out of our order. We called and they immediately apologized and made it right by sending the left out items and a bottle of wine for the trouble. Would highly recommend this place for their attention to detail and service.
