I've been wanting to go here for many years as I've seen it the first time I visited the Cloisters 7 years ago. Super cute venue and location in the park. That being said ...
After being sat we were ignored (wasn't busy) and I had to ask for menus twice where I was told they ran out of menus (wasn't busy).
The food itself was o...k...but for that price I truly believe it should have been better as well as better presented. An entire meal in a bowl? I don't think so (look at pics).
When I asked for the check out waiter was in such a rush that he hit one of our cups with the check clip and almost knocked over one of our cups. I don't want to say too much but I'm known for being brutally honest on my reviews and that's all I felt.

Service was very slow, portions are small, a little pricey for what they were. The atmosphere is lovely, maybe come for a drink but I’d skip the food service.

Came here with a friend and I had no idea this park, let alone this beautiful, charming restaurant in it existed! You're in Manhattan, but feel like you're in a secluded upscale upstate venue. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the fig and olive tapenade and trout! Service was friendly and attentive. Check it out, you will not be disappointed!

Had Sunday lunch here recently, and I was blown away! The seared salmon was on point—super tasty and cooked just right. The staff were super friendly and made me feel right at home. Plus, the live music gave the whole vibe an extra touch. Definitely recommend this spot for a great meal! Everything looked great and tasted even better.

We happened upon the Bonnefont while we were visiting the Cloisters and surrounding Fort Tryon Park, and I'm so glad we did. In a cavernous old stone building near the exquisite Heather Garden (another unexpected treat at Fort Tryon Park), this low-key French restaurant was a great place to land after long explorations of the museum and park. The sweet potato gratin was perfectly prepared, delicious, and filling despite the diminutive portion, nicely balanced with a generous pour of rosé. My companion was equally pleased with his chicken salad sandwich and IPA. If you plan a trip to the Cloisters, which is amazing but their cafe perhaps not so much, we highly recommend a stop at the Bonnefont.

As new residents to the neighborhood (moving from downtown Manhattan)we are thrilled to have this "gem in the woods". French-Continental fare tastefully prepared and delish. Good wine prices. Lovely Art Deco decor with both indoor and outdoor seating. The only criticism is the choice of the live music - the night we came it was a was saxophone duo (too loud). Other nights there was just lovely quiet recorded jazz playing. We highly recommend this place and hope business stays strong - come to gorgeous Ft Tryon Park before you head in and bring a friend!
Great place to get away from the noisy, busy city. Tasty beverages and delicious appetizers. Even the bread is an unexpected delight.

Incredible food in an intimate and quiet setting. I had the duck confit which was tender and delicious. My partner had the acorn squash which was amazing. 10/10 would come back again!

Super tasty food, beautiful environment, my date and I had the roasted butternut squash the burata ,salad and potato leak soup. Burata was not as soft as I had expected. The salad was the least enjoyable thing. The sunflower seeds tasted stale. Really loved the squash and cherries? You really feel as if you are a million miles from NYC and that’s great. The upside down cheesecake I shared, and it was delicious. I hope more and more people will start to patronize this excellent restaurant uptown and I hope they add a few more vegetarian options.
