French Restaurants near Jamaica, NY

“Each time we visit the JetBlue terminal, we stop here for coffee and snacks because I'm not a fan of the nearby competition and their long lines with coffee that gives me a stomach ache. We have been here many time and have always received quick and courteous service and a coffee that was pretty good. It's mostly a grab-n-go so you're not likely standing around for the ambience.“

“Lovely afternoon in Brooklyn. Took the chef’s recommendation and ordered the steak and eggs for brunch.“

“I went to a lunch with friends and found myself in a restaurant filled with an ongoing party - party members were loudly singing and later loud bag pipe music resounded We had made prior reservations but had not been told that there would be a party. We should have been told - we would have come at a later time. As a result of the party the staff was overwhelmed and the service compromised. I do not understand what the management was thinking taking reservations when they knew that there would be a party. We have been there before and have not encountered such a problem. The food and drink are very good Make sure to ask if there will be a party when you make a reservation. The place is too small to handle the noise of party goers and regular customers.“

“Cute spot. I came here for a super quick dinner for two. Unfortunately, I didn't have a lot of time to sit and enjoy the menu, but we did love the bread and ramp lasagna. My red wine was good, as well.Also, I really liked the staff that night. Very friendly and accommodating when we had more people show up out of the blue, so thanks for that!Would love to come back when I have more time to enjoy the food. Please keep that earl grey pavlova on the menuuu!!! I need it.“

“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.“

“Amazing food, great atmosphere and location and very kind service, what more can you ask for? Loved it there!“

“Great services and the foods are delicious! Little Gem in Manhasset.“

“This very unassuming restaurant, that you can barely see as you are driving by, has some of the best quality food for brunch you could ever want and need. You can tell the one man chef show puts his heart and soul into everything he makes.I had the Nordic Benedict. Let me tell you. The light and fluffiness of the, what I like to call "Love bun" rolls that the, not porched, but fried egg was laying one created an almost spiritual lifting experience. Smoked salmon, to me, tasted like house made gravlax. The perfect blend of seasoning for the Benedict. And the Hollandaise sauce, was golden and perfect. $20I had a bite of the corned beef hash and potatoes, and it was also very tasty. The corned beef was seasoned right and it comes with a fried egg which makes the dish perfect. $20However, the in house homemade French toast was the most interesting and awesome dish I have tasted in a very very long time. The 6 "love buns" on a skewer, were served with maple syrup and this berry compote, that make you want to slap something, was an amazing addition to the dish. $20All of the brunch menu comes with coffee, tea or orange juice.For $20, I will be patronizing this establishment again and again.“

“All good things...must come to an end. I was a little saddened to find out the previous owners Jean-Luc and Lucette retired already. Our visits to this neighborhood gem are like going to friends' homes for dinner. We are going to really miss their smiles. It is their granddaughter Marie managing the place now. They should be very proud of how she carried on their legacy. On our recent visit, we had soup sampler (French onion soup, carrot soup, potato soup) and oysters as appetizers. All the soups were yummy good and the oysters very fresh. We had the quails and frogs legs as mains. They tasted great and good portions sizes too. My significant other especially liked the zucchini that came with the entrees. We took home our desserts (cheesecake and chocolate truffle cake) and opt for the special strawberry souffle. It is so gooood. The twilight menu also came with salad for less than $40. Specials are extra and our bill came out to around $120 before tax. It is well worth every penny. We also wanted to thank our lady server, too. She was attentive and friendly. Basically has a little "lucette" touch in her. Thank you !!“

“My partner and I have been coming to Plein Air since it opened in 2020. Back then, it was outdoor-only with a small but incredible menu. Today, it has graduated into one of my favorite restaurants, not just in Ridgewood, but in all of NYC. It feels like one of those little gems you could only ever find hidden down the side streets of Paris. The mornings offer a warm, cozy brunch with delicious coffees, fresh juices, and impeccable egg dishes; the evenings serve up an intimate dinner experience featuring new and delightful specials alongside elevated staples—the chicken and pork are among the best I’ve had anywhere—that pair perfectly with their well-curated selection of flavorful sides and other small plates. Oh, and don’t get me started on the Sunday burger! It’s fantastic. How Plein Air manages to pull this off in a space this size is nothing short of amazing. Whether you’re in the mood for a romantic dinner, casual Sunday brunch, or maybe just a good glass of wine with some fresh oysters, give this place a try. The wonderful food, service, atmosphere, and consistency will keep you coming back for more.“

“The food and service were great. We all enjoyed our entrees as well as the desserts! The service was fast and efficient. We did not wait long for any part of our meal. However, the ambiance was lacking. There definitely needs to be renovation and update the atmosphere as it is old and outdated. We have come to this restaurant for many years, and it is evident that there has been no change to the decor. Regardless we will definitely return since the food and service were exceptional.“

“Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere and good food. I recommend the salmon burger .“

“Had an amazing experience here last weekend! We were greeted at our table by the most wonderful server ever, Francis! He really made our night with amazing service, always responding so quickly to whatever we asked of him and providing a warm and bubbly attitude! Food was also excellent too, would definitely be back!!“

“This was my second time that I've been to this restaurant. The first time was years ago, so I don't remember it too well. The second time was during restaurant week. I did the prefixed menu where you get an appetizer, entree, and a dessert for $35. I got mussels in white wine sauce with garlic, shallot, and parsley as an appetizer, shrimp scampi with linguini pasta as an entree, and key lime pie (with a lot of whipped cream) as my dessert. They didn't have the dessert that I wanted, so the key lime pie was the substitute. Everything was prepared in a timely manner, and it all tasted great. The servers were very attentive and were prepared to take on any and all requests. The place itself had plenty of seating, and it was a Saturday night. Reservations aren't necessary.“
