Polina WeitzFebruary 6, 2022Came for lunch during restaurant week. It's a solid neighborhood spot. Food was good, and so was the service, but nothing blew me away.
Lisa YDecember 21, 2022Steak frites, burger, extensive beer list, good cocktails, romantic atmosphere
New York HabitatDecember 9, 2011One of the best UES spots for brunch. The dishes that shouldn't go unnoticed - Frittata D'Lyon, Eggs Petatou, and the Croque Madame.
RyMay 26, 2013Service is outstanding here. :) Also, extremely impressive beer and wine list and the food is excellent for dinner.- Eggs bénédict, steak frites, tarte flambée, burger, you can't go wrong with these. They are all good
Nathan GammieDecember 7, 2014Very tasty food and beautiful outdoor cafe seating. Felt like we were in Paris again.
Zagat recently named this as one of the best brunch spots in NYC. They definitely caught on...but hope it won't get more crowded!
Martin KimJanuary 26, 2016Two sausages fill you up real good and they have many varieties to choose from
Christine SchozerSeptember 12, 2014Amazing omelette, but everything is good. It's a go to nice restaurant.
Melissa ChienMay 5, 2014Extensive and very French brunch menu, but i can't stop ordering the eggs niçoise gratinee.
Everything here is amazing but be sure to get the Burger D'Alsace, Merguez, Steak Tartare and ANYTHING made with Venison.

Oliver BouchardSeptember 9, 2013There's a daily Early Bird from 5 to 6:30. It includes the duck sausage, so it's a good deal.
JanelleJanuary 25, 2014Brunch service is crap but the crepes are great. Something to keep in mind when visiting
Ariana Villalobos BetancorNovember 11, 2012Good brunch. Egg benedict are small but croque monsier is great no bechamell souce tough
Josh BSeptember 24, 2012Wild mushroom ravioli couldn't be any closer to perfect. Reggiano, truffle, sauvignon sauce.
the only place where a cafe au lait can be accurately described as both fluffy and delicious.
midoOctober 21, 2017Didn’t get the chance to eat due to waiter forgetting to put in my order. Brunch time was over and kitchen changed menu :/ they were nice though and offered two items in the menu but I got tired
Eatery ExpertSeptember 1, 2012Great Parisian brunch on the UES. Lots of outdoor seating in the shade!- An amazing bottle beer selection, over 110 unique brews!
BoozeMenusJanuary 23, 2012This French bistro speaks to the high-class lifestyle many in the Upper East Side are accustomed too, but without the flashy price tag. Read more
Raquel L. LachmanSeptember 2, 2013Still thinking about the scallops w/spinach & grapefruit. Def Must
Nina LoSchiavoJuly 14, 2013The brioche French toast is like plump pillows of maple-y love in your face-hole.
- Conrad Greiner-BechertJanuary 30, 2018I enjoyed the Salmon here. Foods are somewhat pricey, but understandably so.
Peter BoyceApril 1, 2012The beer selection here is unbelievable-- call on Gianni the beer sommelier to pick you the perfect drink.
Neil BansiOctober 16, 2011The coffee here is amazing. If you're told the wait is an hour, then wait. You might be surprised.
The frittata d'lyon looks so good, when the next table saw mine arrive they changed their orders. It tastes as good as it looks.
Yelena KnoxFebruary 25, 2014The best thing here was the wine. Over priced joint for pickled veggies and grainy, farina-like creme brulee. Ew
