Melanie BouleyJanuary 28, 2015As a gal who has spent a fair amount of time in France, it is wonderful to see that most of their servers can speak French! Decent and inexpensive bloody, cute outdoor seating, and cash only.
Elke NominikatSeptember 22, 2014Oyster Happy Hour from 5 to 7 ($1 each!) and all night long on Mondays w/ different kinds of oysters even. French wines $9.
Christina LuAugust 7, 2014Happy hour oysters! Love how they have an outdoor seating area. They also change their drink menus regularly and it's always good.
Grace YoonAugust 21, 2018Start your boozy Sunday brunch right with their $20 pitcher mimosa and scrumptious eggs Benedict or croque madame. You won’t regret this.
Stina P.February 2, 2016great and affordable brunch spot in bushwick. the momlette and momwich are great to share. cash only - stop in after a morning of walking past street art
Yasmina BackströmJuly 23, 2017Best French food and service in this part of Brooklyn. Come here for fun, fries and fine frickin French dudes
Nicholas DoyleNovember 18, 2014Gorgeous back yard, delicious food and cocktails. The bread is truly phenomenal. Very much like someone dropped a duplicate of Maison Premiere in Bushwick.- nicolas thoniOctober 16, 2018The cocktails are delicious. Great backyard, perfect to enjoy yummy French food.
Jason SilvermanJanuary 16, 2013Get a cocktail. The Take Me Home is excellent. As is the classic Old Fashioned.
ImSo_BrooklynOctober 22, 2014Comfy. Quick bite to eat. The fried Pancake is delicious! The place is small but the food is great and the prices are affordable.
Philipp NassJanuary 31, 2018Food is awesome. Especially the pan cakes. Waiters are also very friendly. One of my brunch go-to places in Bushwick.
Sheila CoxMarch 18, 2013I highly recommend this restaurant. It is not easy to find. It's on a growing area of bushwick. The food and service are great. I'll be coming again :-)
Ryan TurnerMarch 10, 2013A bright spot for the area. I'm glad to see this place move in. Great French onion soup and hanger steak. Try one of their cocktails.
- Everything I've had is good here (duck confit hash, mominette pancake, Norwegian Benedict, etc)
ChrisMarch 5, 2015Real nice place, coq au vin is my recommendation. Mominette burger is good, but IMO doesn't compete with the best.
Sara JordanSeptember 3, 2015Small, quaint and romantic. Oysters! Try any of the gratins. Garden seating.
Oliver BouchardSeptember 21, 2014There's a oyster happy hour every evening and all day on Monday. Cash only, unfortunately.
Really fast and friendly service. Great eggs. Perfect addition to the hood along Knickerbocker.
On point all the time. One of Bushwick’s finest legacy dining establishments...
The manager is awesome! The poached eggs over English Muffin is a must!
Rebecca AtwoodJanuary 10, 2015Charming french bistro with the trappings you'd expect, and a beautiful backyard.
Rebecca YiDecember 12, 2017Escargot was great - not salty. Can’t recommend the steak but the duck breast was good. Cute interior.
Fati HussainJune 23, 2015Get the fried chicken here. Sounds random for a French place but it's delicious.
Come here after midnight for the best happy hour in the 'hood: $5 cocktails til 2am!
Orpheus PatJune 15, 2013Just come here, the way to describe this place is all the inappropriate things you would say after the most mind blowing "session" ever.
it depends who is working at the time you go. sometimes it is exceptional sometimes not so much.
Scott InglesSeptember 25, 2017Lovely patio and $1 happy hour oysters but extremely disappointing dinner. The tuna nicoise was tough and bland. The burger was overcooked. The specialty cocktail was unremarkable.
