About Frenchette Bakery at the Whitney

Frenchette Bakery at the Whitney offers exceptional food and pastries. Their Paris-brest with pistachio cream is a must-try, and their sandwiches are made with the best bread. The menu is simple, but the dishes, including the chicken liver mousse, black turnip soup, seasonal bucatelli with sungold tomatoes, and gnocchi Arrabiata, are expertly prepared and delicious.

The bakery and cafe, owned by chefs Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson, serves viennoiserie, individual pastries, baguettes, sandwiches, and coffee. Customers can also enjoy a meal at the cafe, with options like duck confit, rotisserie chicken, and onion flatbread. This is the second location of this fine bakery.

Customers have described the food as delicious, with standout items like the cauliflower, dandelion salad, and gnocchi. The bread is highly praised, and the French Hot Chocolate is noted as incredible. While the prices can be a bit high, with lunch main dishes often costing around $25 to $30, the overall dining experience is fantastic, especially for vegetarians and pescatarians who find ample options. The atmosphere is lovely, filled with natural light, and the service from the host to the staff is friendly and attentive.
