Rose AhnNovember 27, 2013Great old school vibe and good service, but a bit overpriced and overrated for brunch.
Try the Hazelnut Hot Cocoa. SUBLIME! It is like drinking nutella. Yummy!
bryan cFebruary 23, 2010After the bakery closes, they leave leftover (and still soft!) baguettes and other breads in a basket in the vestibule of Balthazar proper next door... for free!
Sam WalmsleyJune 20, 2010Love this restaurant, dine alone also get a free glass of champagne, perfect for post shopping fuel!
Jennifer LevineJanuary 2, 2010Don't wait to sit down for Saturday brunch. Eat at the bar and try Eggs Norwegian. Make friends with the people next to you.
The Goat Cheese Tarte is amazing & try the tomato bisque with blue cheese, you will thank me!
BravoJanuary 26, 2010Balthazar is the best French bistro in the city. Amazing hanger steak and fries. -Ash Fulk, Top Chef
Gino BalaccoMarch 18, 2012Pastries and sweets are scrumptuous but, and guess what, i'm terribly sorry to say that "la baguette" bread lacks of taste. Hint from a bread-hardcore-lover french guy : "laissez la pâte reposer plus"
@sloaneDecember 11, 2010Go right when you walk in for the non-RSVP line, best hack to get a table on a packed weekend!
Inna GFebruary 21, 2024Nice french vibe. Food is mediocre the frisée salad was bland. The tuna tar tar and snails was decent.
