11 Best Bistros in New York

“I felt very well taken care of and valued throughout my meal. The Serbian waiter was very skilled and friendly and he really made sure I was well taken care of.“

“The gumbo and Oxtail w/polenta were 👏🏿👏🏿 Bravo Mike! Bravo!!“

“I took a chance and popped in early without a booking. I’m so glad I did. The best escargot I can remember having & mussels that were outstanding. You can’t go wrong with a set menu. The music is so pleasing—not too loud. Highly recommend.“

“Food was beyond great, went on Valentine’s Day, had the grass fed strip, collard greens, beef tartare and the cheesecake - all were superb and the service was fast. Never had to ask the waitress to refill my wine glass, she kept it flowing. We will be returning for sure.“

“I had an amazing dinner with friends here. Every dish felt like it had its own special twist to it. The ambiance was wonderful and relaxed, it was the perfect place to catch up with friends over dinner and wine. The portions are on the smaller side so I'd recommend ordering more than you'd think. Some stand outs:
- Cestino di Focaccia
- Cavolo Arrosto
- Cavoletti di Bruxelles
- Cavatelli al Pomodoro
- Ravioli Ricotta e Porri“

“10/10 for Dudley's, food was amazing, we had the whipped ricotta and calamari to start and then shared the cheese burger, it was all delicious and a perfect amount of food for two ladies. The servers were attentive. Bar staff was great and cocktails are good. The tables are close to each other but that's to be expected. There is one restroom for men and women but there was no wait and the restaurant was full. Great experience, would go again“

“Tout parfait. The 4 of us felt perfectly at home over a delicious family meal before going our own ways. Le canard, family favorite was perfect, the Ragu & Salmon & the almond cake too. Our server, Agatha, was just perfect , sweet helpful gradually more comfortable and warm as the evening progressed. We’ll be back as soon as we return to NY. Thank you!“

“fantastic place. If you want to support peace, love, and harmony line up outside!“

“Un lugar único con un ambiente elegante y relajado para la gente bien. Muy buena comida y buenas atenciones. Su decoración de flores es única!!“

“This multi level French brasserie caught our eye by sheer luck! I love the beautiful entrance to the restaurant very colorful. They have a full bar service and a live opera on Saturday nights. Our server Jorge G. Was so helpful and engaging. I think he sensed it was our time here! We ordered the seared salmon and croque monsieur and truffle fries because why not!“
