La Ripaille Reviews
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.
Stumbled upon this place by chance and it was the best part of our night. The service was absolutely amazing and the food so delicious! So glad we came upon it!
I don't know why anybody would give this place a bad review. The atmosphere is so cozy and reminded me of Europe, the food so fresh and perfectly portioned, and the service so welcoming. We found this by chance on a snow February evening and will be back! Online, however, it says this restaurant closed in 2024, but it is open and thriving! The owner was charming, and I hope he gets his retirement soon (just after we return on more time!)
La Ripaille is a highly recommended French bistro in NYC, known for its superb and fresh food, prepared with care. The cozy and welcoming atmosphere has been a staple for over forty years, with an authentic owner who maintains traditional French cooking. The escargot, prepared in a unique way, is a popular choice, and the food and its presentation from appetizers through desserts are always wonderful. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, not too loud, creating a warm and inviting environment. The wine list is excellent, and the servers are very nice and helpful. While some find the owner a bit rude and uncomfortable, most agree that the overall experience is pretty good and worth returning for a classic French cozy bistro experience. The restaurant also offers special surprises that reflect the owner's passion for food and life.
