French Restaurants near Long Island City, NY

“Delish!! Excellent Bloody Mary’s!!“

“It’s my favorite restaurant of all time. The service is amazing, every time I’m there I’m threaded like a queen and the atmosphere is so relaxing. Always my go to place“

“This place and the chef/ owner are the best things that ever happened to Astoria. Music oh boy oh boy.“

“I work in the Falchi Building at 31-00 47th Avenue in Long Island City, and I visit Petite Maman two or three times a week. It has quickly become one of my favorite places to stop for a coffee, pastry, or something delicious to bring back to the office.

The food is consistently fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared, but what really sets Petite Maman apart is the outstanding customer service. In particular, William, who works behind the counter, is exceptional. He is always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely knowledgeable about the menu. William has a great way of making customers feel comfortable, and he is always happy to make suggestions when I'm trying to decide what to order.

The best part is that his recommendations are consistently spot-on. I've tried several things based on his suggestions, and I've never been disappointed. His enthusiasm for the food and his willingness to take the time to help customers really make a difference.

I can't say enough good things about William or Petite Maman. The food is excellent, the service is wonderful, and the people who work there clearly care about their customers and the experience they provide. If you work in the Falchi Building or are in the Long Island City area, I highly recommend stopping by Petite Maman. And if William is behind the counter, be sure to ask him what he recommends—you won't be disappointed!“

“NYC classic spot. Came solo on a weekday afternoon. I was able to get a seat by the bar in 15 mins. The staff is friendly & it was a full house. My burger came out pretty quickly and the food was delicious and a very generous portion. I would have skipped the drink for a soda instead. Overall I can’t wait to come back again and try the rest of their menu.“

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

“This is what we call “fine dining.” We did not reserve the main dining room, as one of our party did not care for prix fixe. We opted for the lounge as you can have from the menu or prix fixe. When you first arrive, you are greeted by a pleasant hat/coat check lady. We arrived early and said we would wait for the other couple and were invited to wait in the intimate cocktail area. The cocktails were superb and served with a house-made cocktail snack. When the guests of the party arrived, we were escorted to the lounge area. An intimate area with about six to eight tables. After being seated and greeted by the head server (maître d' or captain), who explained our options, we all opted for the menu. After looking at all the choices, we decided to split two appetizers. Even though the number of items on each choice was uneven, the server said, “Let me take care of it". And then beautifully presented plates arrived with equal portions. And it only got better from there. The entrées were each explained in detail, including their origins and how they were prepared. I could go on and on. The fish, beef, duck breast, and pork were everything we expected and more. We all commented, maybe the best we have had. The house made desserts were perfect. I had possibly the best cheese plate I have ever had. The entire staff of servers were professionals and enhanced the evening. The most disappointing part of the evening was when a guest entering the dining room (after removing his overcoat) came in dressed in Dockers and a short-sleeve polo. This is an insult to the owner, the chef, and the entire staff at this fine restaurant. But maybe he was an elite or a “special” person. We all said we would be back.“

“Loved this place! I went with my friend for brunch, and it was a blast! The drinks were perfect, and the food was even better. I had the Eggs Norwegian, and it was amazing. The greens that came with this dish were not generic mesclun mix greens, which I appreciated. They perfectly complemented the dish, this is little but I appreciate the details. Our server was very kind, just enough bubbly and accommodating.“

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

“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!!!“

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

“Good food, good coffee and just the right vibe! Visiting from Mississippi.“

“The best Wiener Schnitzel outside Austria!!!!👍“

“Incredible experience from the moment you walk in. You're welcomed with warm hospitality, the food is creative and absolutely delicious, the cocktails are excellent, and the atmosphere is perfect. A true French bistro gem in Brooklyn. Highly recommend!“

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

“Amazing food and ambiance.“

“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.“

“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)“

“A very fancy and romantic restaurant.“

“Great!“

“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! 💗“

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

“Le Jardinier was a beautiful dining experience. The space feels refined, calm, and elegant without being pretentious. Every dish was beautifully presented, and the menu strikes a great balance between lightness, seasonality, and flavor.

We had the 3-course menu and started with the burrata and leeks, followed by the snow crab and salmon. The starters were incredibly fresh, refreshing, and well-balanced. The salmon was cooked medium and tasted excellent.

A special mention goes to the house-made bread and butter—absolutely amazing and one of the highlights of the meal. For dessert, we had the yuzu mousse and mango mille-feuille, both beautifully executed and a perfect finish.

The service was professional, attentive, and warm throughout the evening. A wonderful fine-dining experience where thoughtful cuisine, beautiful design, and great hospitality come together effortlessly.“

“Quiet, tasty, and welcoming service. It earns its star (especially those sauces). The waiter may add some charm and levity even as the kitchen peels their little heirloom tomatoes. Equally solid for birthdays, anniversaries, and getting a nice quiet corner to yourself.

If you're into wine, be sure to look out for their semi-regular events.“

“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.“

“Our server was a bit frosty & stood to one side of the table to take our orders from four of us, so we had to shout. For some reason she wouldn't come to our side. The noise level did get pretty high. That being said the food was excellent.“

“Lovely and warm friendly service just stopped for a drink.“

“Tucked away on a bustling Midtown street, Le Veau d'Or hides behind what appears to be a simple residential door, a charming secret that opens into a classic French bistro adorned in elegant black and red accents.

I had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday here with my husband, and the hospitality made it feel special from the very first moment. The staff greeted us warmly and wished me a happy birthday multiple times throughout the evening. The menu is classically French at its heart, yet thoughtfully crafted with the seasons in mind, a balance that speaks to both tradition and care.

We initially worried that a three-course meal might not be enough, so we added a side order of fries dish just to be safe, but the generous, beautifully executed appetizers and freshly served bread were so satisfying that we found ourselves nearly full before the main course even arrived!

Le Veau d'Or is the kind of restaurant you want to keep as your own little secret, yet can't help but tell everyone about. Though with reservations as coveted as they are, the secret is very much already out.“

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

“I visit NYC as a solo traveller about every 3 months to see shows and visit museums. I always have one pre-show dinner here. The food is delicious and service is exceptional. I live in DC which has some fine French restaurants but they do not compare to Le Tout Va Bien. Plus the major theaters are a short walk away. I know you will be very pleased with your dining experience.“

“great service great food great atmosphere“

“Food and drinks were amazing.“

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

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

“Fantastic. Cake slice and garlic aioli to die for. Every dish was so impressive. Super attentive service, rich and salty flavor across the board, and each dish did something different than what I’m used to. Comparable to Gramercy Tavern.“

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

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

“We celebrated a year from when we got engaged in Paris at this beautiful restaurant. The food was delicious; the music was incredible and our server Andrea completely took care of us. We had prosecco to celebrate, opened gifts and enjoyed each other’s company to the steak and the branzino. If you come here, ask for Andrea and ask for her recommendations ♥ It was so special because of her.“

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

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

“Really Nice Restaurant i Recommend The Odeon Restaurant 😊☺️“

“Really enjoyed our meal here! Some really stand out dishes, incredible service, and super intimate space.

Some dishes did fall a bit flat (specifically a fish dish that needed a bit more acid to balance it out & desert was a bit underwhelming), but the standouts really stood out to make this a meal worth coming back to. A personal favorite was the Dashi presentation in a wine glass & incredible wagyu beef. Excited to try their next menu!“

“Se puede recomendar todo porque es un Arte culinario y llena cualquier paladar.“

“Wonderful dinner experience! Staff was attentive & friendly. We enjoyed oysters, burgers & mussels while watching the sunset. It doesn’t get any better!“

“A very unexpected and amazing experience! We were on our way to a concert and stumbled upon this restaurant. We decided to go in and couldn't have been more pleased with the food, atmosphere and our server Radita. We actually plan to come back tomorrow for brunch!“

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

“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.“

“Had a great experience at YUU in Brooklyn with my friend Taylor. From the moment you walk in, it feels like you've been transported to Japan—the atmosphere is peaceful, elegant, and incredibly immersive. Every dish was excellent, showcasing outstanding quality, flavor, and presentation. The service was top tier throughout the entire experience. I highly recommend YUU if you're looking for a truly memorable Japanese dining experience.“
