Save room for the passionfruit cheesecake. It has the perfect balance of sweet and tart.
- S. FanDecember 29, 2013Some of the best cocktails in the city. Patrick, the bartender, is awesome! Nice ambiance for a date. Get the raw scallop!
Deviled eggs. They're not called "deviled eggs" on the menu, but you'll figure it out.
Harumi UAugust 7, 2015Dine in service is great - both food and service. Bakery side, make sure they give you all your order if you are ordering more than an item or two.
The Italien sandwich is good and can be picked up from the bakery. Steak tartare and burger are also tasty.
Judy CariJanuary 1, 2019The baked goods on the right when you first enter, I can’t seem to pass up their almond croissants! They are amazing.
Cass GrimmOctober 18, 2016Call me cheap but $18 for pancakes seemed like a LOT of money. Were they delicious, yes, but the sticker shock kind of killed the experience for me.
Amelie BMay 17, 2013Carmellini did it again. Great food but the chocolate torte is to die for. Careful when ordering: portions are as good but a lot bigger than locanda
eric bornemannFebruary 24, 2018Fantastic food and love the monthly menu from a different region of France - lots of fun.
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. This Grand Cafe brings a little Paris to NYC. Solid deliciousness. -foodie magician :)
Elizabeth BursteinAugust 21, 2017The runny eggs were good but a tiny portion. The almond croissant was delicious
Ohilikechickn .July 15, 2017Nice brunch spot, great coffee and pastries. Good lemon ricotta pancakes... If you're into that kind of thing.
Rumana SiddikyDecember 31, 2014Awesome steak frites - Béarnaise butter was sublime and came with a heap of fantastically crispy fries
for lunch: the rotisserie chicken salad (w walnuts & yogurt). for snack: why, macarons, of course.
It's hard to screw up a rotisserie chicken salad, but it's even harder to make it truly outstanding. Order the rotisserie chicken salad.
Angela ChungSeptember 7, 2018Croque madame and fries were AMAZING. Pancakes, unfortunately, were kind of a let down, especially for price.
Paul CunninghamJuly 17, 2016Went for breakfast. The soft eggs were excellent. So were the lemon pancakes - an almost custard-like consistency.
Premshree PillaiJune 10, 2013Let me let you in on a little secret: some of the best bread in the city is being baked right here. Get the campagne.- S. FanDecember 29, 2013Some of the best cocktails in the city. Patrick, the bartender, is awesone! Nice ambiance for a date. Get the raw scallop!
Michael 🍷 ElmgreenJuly 15, 2017Omelette with confit tomatoes and robiola cheese = beautifully presented and f*cking delicious.
MrsCorksterSeptember 30, 2015Stumptown coffee at their little cafe for when you don't want to queue for a cup at La Colombe next door.
EAugust 26, 2015Amazing French pastries. Restaurant located in great area. Heard brunch is great so will try that next
Come for brunch but stay for the adorable pastel macarons. This place has fancy lady brunch written all over it.
CBS New YorkJune 11, 2015They're serving "Eggs Lafayette," a pair of deviled eggs with smoked sable and trout, for NYC Cocktail Week (July 13th through the 17th). Read more
jiresellDecember 31, 2015One of the classic NYC French bistros. Pasta courses and desserts especially good!- Holger LüdorfApril 3, 2014Great spot for lunch. Loved both the steak tartare and the frisée salad with poached egg.
The wifi password is croissant & the lamb sandwich is amazing
I stop by the bakery counter at the front of the restaurant any time I'm in the area for an almond croissant
Tim SheaApril 16, 2018Beautiful interior, service can be a little slow for brunch, but dinner is outstanding.
Mary Ann Dizon RementillaDecember 10, 2017My $$$ entree was unsatisfying. The oxtail ravioli is too small to feed a normal sized human - I’m 5’5” & 120 lbs. It's yummy but there was not enough to keep me satiated. I will not be back.
Mitsuko ImamuraMarch 30, 2014Egg Lafayette and apple tulip pastry are among faves. Their house brew coffee has very good flavour.
I love their banana chocolate croissant! All of their other croissants are good too
Ngan NguyenApril 19, 2015Tuna Niçoise salad was lovely - light, flavoursome with beautifully seared tuna. Recommended.
Monster breakfast portions for a "French restaurant". Faves are still the breakfast oatmeal or the granola
Maia McCannApril 17, 2013Good lord order the crab terrine and butter lettuce and do your best to avoid the sad customers from the upper east side (or worse??) who are dressed like they're going sailing.
Really beautiful space. For brunch I recommend the soft scramble. It comes in a croissant bread bowl!
LilyFebruary 28, 2016Come here for birthdays. They celebrate them better than anyone. Also, get the steak or the pork.
Jason WoodardOctober 5, 2014The duck was great. So was the pate. Had a great martini. All with excellent service.
Brad ThompsonJune 13, 2021Good drinks, omelette is a tad small for $24 with very little ham, although very tasty with the cheese.
Gorgeous room, gracious service. Save room for dessert, the in house pastry chef is awesome.
Divya MenonSeptember 14, 2014Great place for brunch! When your their you must get their - Almond,banana,coconut,chocolate croissant 😊
