Really enjoyed the food, ambiance, and vibe at Brasserie le Mistral. I will definitely dine there again!

On entering during the early evening the reception was warm and accommodating with a well designed and bright atmosphere. I was offered the special of the day: filet mignon with potato gratin and vegetables paired with a bourdeux wine. I asked for the steak to be prepared medium well.
The steak I received was medium rare at best and was topped with sauce that had a burned flavor. When the waiter inquired on my meal I shared that the vegetables were delicious but the steak was too rare and that I did not like the sauce. They responded with a meek “I’m sorry,” awkwardly shuffling away. When the another waiting staff came to gather my plate, they asked if I wanted to take the steak to go, and I reiterated that it was too rare and that I did not like the sauce. I received another apology from this person but no offer to remove the item from my tab or offer to try a different dish. I would have expected some care and consideration but it seemed like the waiters were avoiding correcting the issue altogether.
I see the high ratings here for others and maybe the food they ordered led to a different experience. The wine I had was lovely and thoughtfully paired with what I ordered. But For a $85+ meal this place is just not worth it.

Seven of us from work went for dinner and it was absolutely delicious. The food was incredible—special shoutout to the fries and ice cream, which were next-level. I also loved the generous bread and butter (always a win!).
The staff were all so kind, and our waiter was incredibly professional and friendly—just an all-around great experience. I was the one who picked the restaurant, so I was a little nervous… but it ended up being a big hit! I even got complimented on the vibe and atmosphere.
Highly recommend for a cozy, delicious night out!

Brasserie Le Mistral – A True Gem in Park Slope
Brasserie Le Mistral is hands down my go-to spot in Park Slope. The food is consistently excellent—on my last visit, I had the duck, which was cooked to perfection. Every bite was rich, flavorful, and memorable.
The restaurant itself transports you straight to France, with a design and ambiance that feels both authentic and charming. It’s warm, welcoming, and has that rare neighborhood feel that makes you want to return again and again.
But what truly sets Brasserie Le Mistral apart is Arthur, the manager. He’s not just running the show—he's part of the experience. Personable, attentive, and genuinely kind, Arthur will often sit down and chat with guests, making everyone feel like family. Honestly, if Arthur’s not there, I’m not going!
The desserts are just as fantastic as the main courses, and Arthur’s generous spirit even extends to the wine—don’t be surprised if your glass gets a friendly little top-up.
I love this place so much that I’ll be celebrating my 75th birthday here with family this Tuesday. It’s that special.

Had a wonderful Saturday brunch at Mistral in Brooklyn. The coffee was excellent, and the French pastries were just as good—flaky, buttery, and fresh. We ended with amazing mimosas, the perfect touch to a relaxing morning. One of the best French spots I’ve been to in Brooklyn. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cozy place with truly good coffee, pastries, and a lovely brunch vibe.

Had a great brunch this morning with a large family party. Very accommodating front of house staff, with excellent food and service! Escargots were so delicious I forgot to get a picture of them before they were eaten, but they're a must have for those who love them! Poached eggs with hollandaise sauce were delicious, and came with perfectly cooked potatoes, and a lightly dressed salad. Perfect breakfast for a blistering day in the city. I'll be back!
My wife and I had a good experience here. The only reason for knocking off a star is that the restaurant never brought out the risotto we ordered. With only two tables seated at the time, it was a surprising oversight; we were looking forward to tasting it. That said, the food we did get was excellent—we just didn't get all of it. The duck breast is highly recommended.

Classic french combinations done well with no fuss and no changes! Always best to respect the chef's vision, since the dishes are composed after much thought. A nice place for brunch (my personal favorite meal). If Jose is your waiter, expect to have no complaints regarding his attentiveness.
Our waitress was fabulous - made some great recs - steak frites, half order of veg risotto. Friendly, attentive. Food was delicious and love the lighting. So glad to have stopped in

Great atmosphere, great service, was totally ready for something special... And then the food was only pretty good. Not bad per se, just didn't match expectations.
The steaks were good (excellent demi glace on the hanger steak), the fish was nice if a bit under seasoned, the onion soup was good but nothing to write home about, the oysters were good.
The beef borgonion was very disappointing, however. Basically just some stewed beef in stock with carrots and undercooked mushrooms. Probably made in, perhaps, an hour rather than the time it takes to correctly layer the flavors of this dish. No tastes of red wine or lardons, no herbs to speak of. I mean, it was edible and all... But it wasn't even close to what I was expecting. Nothing deep, nothing interesting, just a stew, almost like a failed attempt at a classic Irish stew, sans Guinness.
The mashed potatoes that came with it were the standout of the evening: they were excellent. Which kindof describes things perfectly. Some hints (service, atmosphere, a couple fantastic sides) that this could be an excellent bistro, but the mains were only decent at their best. Bummer. I really wanted to like this place. :-(

A wonderful restaurant We've enjoyed our meals and our server remembered us on our second visit. The food is delicious. Not cheap, but by no means “pricey” Warm and intimate delicious dining as a French Brasserie should be!

Home-cooked traditional French cuisine. Lovely service Wine by the glass,mostly French Overall, Lovely afternoon experience Beef Bourgenouine, carrots, Mashed potatoes Brazing. Wild rice and leeks

I recommend the muscles, they were the star of the show. Cheese board was similar to what you would find on an airplane, and the atmosphere/service is just decent, but not entirely worth the prices.
