- Harlem AmbassadorMay 12, 2013This dining deprived nabe has a new destination and maison harlem is a hit! The francophiles, the gays, and nyc foodies love mussels & frites, chic decor, and winning wines. Perfect for after Apollo!
@JaumePrimeroMay 17, 2013For those of you uptown, this restaurant/bar has character, atmosphere and a great vibe. Great place to catch up with friends over a cocktail. It's right next to the 125th street MTA station. Read more
Time Out New YorkAugust 8, 2018French partners Samuel Thiam and Romain Bonnans (A.O.C. Bistro) are behind this Harlem spot, highlighting Gallic classics—steak au poivre, niçoise salad and tarte tatin. Read more
So far I had the Mussels(both ways), the seafood croustillant, the cheese plate (the small and the large) and everything was simply delight! The atmosphere is mega cool and the staff very friendly
Neelu RaviOctober 25, 2019Must try pork chops with the mushroom purée and garlic sauce! If you are a vegetarian, then there ain’t many options. However, vegetarian risotto is delicious. Huge portions of everything.
lindsay freyFebruary 5, 2013Had croustillant de chèvre, wild mushroom risotto, artisanal cheese platter, hot chocolate... all AMAZING! The risotto honestly might have been the best dish we've ever had at a NYC restaurant.
Serious EatsJune 4, 2013A classy neighborhood joint with a good bar and great classic French bistro fare. The hefty grilled burger is worth a try as well.
Eaters HeavenApril 21, 2016Escargot, steak tartar, French onion soup, Foie gras - they have great apps and entrees. Love this place. So cozy. Eating at the bar is great too.
Jesse BagelsMay 11, 2015Where else in Harlem you gonna get hi qual French cuisine? Dollar oyster happy hour + v chill atmosphere. Glad this place is back up and running.

Dimitri NouveauSeptember 7, 2014The meat is absolutely amazing (steak, lamb, chicken), they also have very good French specialties (mushroom risotto). Excellent value!
Meg FarmerOctober 6, 2014A very cool spot in Harlem, came here for a bday dinner. Mussels were delicious, mushroom risotto was the favorite of the table.
One of the top spots on the neighborhood. Make a reservation, especially on Friday/Saturday nights and order the mussels
Service is shoddy. Good if $14 Bloody Marys are your thing... For the same price, could get that plus a burger and fries at Harlem Tavern.- VanessaDecember 9, 2016The mushroom risotto is a must have! One of the best I've ever had in my life! 😋
- L. T.July 13, 2015The chocolate croissant and iced coffee are VERY good! But the server looked at me like I had three heads when I asked what kind of milk they had - to which she replied "...regular?"
Great burger! Note: they close from 4-5:30pm to transition from brunch to dinner. Salads & light fare only during that time.- It's easy, with Kris on the floor and Lisa behind the bar your life will take a turn for the better.... Once beauties and brains collide the universe finally makes sens... Bon Appetit!
- Jesse MorenoFebruary 16, 2013The seafood croustillant is amazing. Seared scallops, shrimp and pei mussels with saffron cream spinach in a Phyllo shell.
Peter IkladiousMay 21, 2016Nice bistro feel, great buzz, food was average and service was a bit slow. Fun date place though. Quirky and eclectic
Hunter ThomasApril 14, 2016Popular local spot with great seafood options and friendly, attentive service.
James John (Jay) Cudney IVJanuary 1, 2020Excellent place to spend New Year’s Eve. Great food and service.
Lina TrifonDecember 12, 2015The mushroom risotto is nice. If you don't like it sweet, ask them to remove the balsamic glaze.
The salmon over ratatouille is delicious and the molten lava cake is mm mm good.- Vick CaseyApril 16, 2013Best brunch ever, but make sure to go on sat or sun if you want eggs Benedict:)
DanielleApril 24, 20136 friends and I were asked to leave because we didn't order enough food and drinks. For the record, there was one other woman in the restaurant. It was 4pm on a Wednesday.- Sofrito inmySoulJune 5, 2016Excellent Ratatouille at Maison Harlem! #Harlem #frenchcuisine #frenchfood
I was not one for risotto ever — until this critic became convinced. This spot is a hit. 💋
