French Restaurants in New York, NY

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

“The food was good. We did order the very basic things like the burger and steak with fries. We also tried the souffle for dessert. Everything was good, but I'm not sure it was really worth the price. When this was a neighborhood spot and the prices matched (if that was ever the case), I could see it making a lot more sense. But at these prices, I don't think it maths. Nothing wrong with the food, but also not the best of anything I've ever had.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing food and ambiance.“

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

“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)“

“An unforgettable experience here at Le Jardinier!!! Whilst it wasnt a tasting menu each course including the amuse bouche were so special. We were greeted with the person at the door being very kind to put my umbrella in the holder. We were led to our table and the ambience was nicely darkly lit and very atmospheric. The service throughout was impeccable and always led with a smile. One of them lit up when I told them it was my birthday and they were super kind to give a complimentary dessert with a candle and a message at the end.

The bread at the start was very special in itself. So many kinds to choose from and each was very unique with their own textures and size. I loved the layered bread and the butter with the name of the restaraunt on it. The bread melted in my mouth.

The amuse bouche was plated and presented so beautifully in the dome. It was so delectable

The appetisers were extemely rich. I was surprised on how big the foie gras dish was. Loved the presentation and how it came with the perfect bread which was cut so nicely. The vegetables that came with it were so good and the combination was so good.
The scallop dish was also really good. But it was quite salty and the green sauce added a weird combination that felt quite off, but still i got used to it and i ended up enjoying it a lot.

The octopus was extremely tender as well as the duck. The duck skin was unbelievable. So crispy. The sauces were also super rich and light and delicious as well as the duck croquet which went so well with it. The ravioli was also incredible

Each of the desserts also looked exceptional and tasted as well, bursting with colours and flavours and textures.

Highly recommend this place!!“

“What a fantastic dining experience! Each dish was perfectly prepared, elegantly presented, and tasted amazing. We were glad Chef Christophe came out to say hello so we could tell him personally how much we enjoyed his creations. Gavin did a wonderful job serving us and the warm hospitality shown us by Karen and her team exceeded expectations. This is a special place - wish I could give it more than 5 stars!“

“Le Rock had been on my bucket list for a while, and the polished Art Deco interior was a highlight. Our server was attentive and went out of his way to guide us. The food was good overall, though nothing quite rose to the level of exceptional.“

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

“Established in 1937, Le Veau d'Or (located at 129 E 60th St) is Manhattan’s oldest French bistro. Revitalized by renowned chefs Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson (of Frenchette and Le Rock), it masterfully bridges an old-school, red-draped dining room aesthetic with elevated, contemporary French cooking“

“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.“

“We had a wonderful brunch at Lafayette. This is one of my favorite brunch spots in the city. Our server was wonderful and attentive! The vibe and the ambiance are so chic! 10/10“

“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.“

“Very nice atmosphere - :)“

“Excellent food with horrible service. I had the strangest time here, where the food was incredible but the service didn’t match. After being seated we waited an agonizing amount of time for anyone to actually say hello and serve us some water and bring us menus. I was starting to think maybe we offended someone or were being pranked we waited so long. This theme continued as our waitress proceeded to bring us one of the wrong dishes we didn’t order and then not even give us the dessert we asked for. I’m not sure what Carmille’s problem is but don’t take it out on us for wanting some good food.“

“We enjoyed a lovely Sunday brunch at the outside seating. The atmosphere was great, and everything was delicious. Patricia was our server and she was attentive, friendly, and made our experience even better. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you❤︎“

“I still think about Balthazar long after my trip to NYC. The smoked salmon was incredible, the coffee was great, and the atmosphere was everything I hoped for... beautiful, lively, and full of charm. It was busy, but in the best way. Easily my favorite food stop during my first visit to New York, and I already can't wait to go back. Love, love, love this place!“

“amazing food! if your out for a night in the city and want a wonderful dining experience go here!“

“Benjamin was truly the best of the best. He greeted me with a warm smile and was very patient, even taking my orders with care. He really was the real deal. He served me hot chocolate and a croissant, and he even gave me a cup to enjoy the rest of my chocolate on the go. I’ll definitely come back again because of the top-tier service he provided. Bravo, Tartinery!“

“Great food, great staff, great restaurant“

“New favorite restaurant!! The broccoli mousse was amazing. Salmon tartare was excellent. Mains were yummy. The crème brûlée was perfect. Silky and light and yet creamy and indulgent. Chocolate mousse was so good too. Lots of gluten free (celiac safe) options. A lot of dishes either naturally gluten free or can be made gluten free. Lovely service. Can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend.“
