French Restaurants in New York, NY

“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.“

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

“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!!!“

“Food and service spectacular. Beautiful room.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

Food, drinks - much needed pick-me-ups - right to your door! We love you Loulou! 💗“

“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.“

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

“Great!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Party restaurant at its best“

“This was our first time eating at Tartinery. There are several items to choose from on the menu. I ordered the Roast Beef Tartine and a chocolate chip cookie. Both were absolutely delicious. The concrete countertops around the restaurant were a nice touch. The staff was incredibly friendly while also providing fast service. We will absolutely visit again when we are in New York.“

“You might pass this spot without noticing it. But behind an unassuming facade, is a great food experience. The Comte tart was wonderful. Crumbly crust with delicious filling. The cherry tomatoes burst in your mouth adding sweetness and a refreshing touch. Loved the roasted Duck with eggplant. The bird was cooked to perfection. The Mille Feuille dessert with fresh plums and cream was nice. Looking forward to the fall menu.“

“Very nice atmosphere - :)“

“Loved Balthazar! Great experience at Balthazar! I had no reservation but the hostess was so sweet and kind in trying to accommodate, soon after that we found a place at their bar and the service was amazing. We had French wine, escargot, and steak frites. Everything was 100/10! The servers at the bar were attentive and overall so nice. Despite how crowded it was we didn’t feel rushed. Love the atmosphere, the lighting is intimate, the bar is moody, and charming. Would definitely return for their dessert selection as I could t even make room for that. One of my faves.“

“Excellent cuisine et ambiance“

“Came here for breakfast twice during my visit to New York and had the avocado toast both times. It was delicious and the perfect way to start the day before exploring the city, without breaking the bank. The service was quick and excellent, and Mimi was an amazing server! Highly recommend.“
