This SoHo institution serves the best steak au poivre in New York. Near the back-left booth, check out the photo of art dealer Leo Castelli posing in the restaurant’s kitchen.

A true NYC classic and one of my favorites in the City. Excellent steak frites. Get the burger while dining at the bar only!
Rock RainesJanuary 27, 2020
Steak au poivre is excellent but a tad pricey at $52. Burger is fantastic but I could do without the bun tbh
Saagar GuptaFebruary 18, 2018
Everything is good here. One of the best in NYC!

Use the secret bathroom upstairs but bring some money so you can get your palm read.

The steak is excellent. French, and dump...in a French dumpy way (trivia fact, its the dive Bar featured on the original Law & Order...at the end of MANY of the shows. A dump, but a charming dump.

Artichoke vinaigrette, frisée salad, Steak au poivre

The steak frites is a must but listen to your heart and also get the lamb.

Oh man, the burger au poivre is so good. One of the best burgers I've ever had. Only available at the bar and not even listed on the menu yet.

Request for cage when you order dessert
HowardMay 24, 2017

Amazing vichyssoise and their pasta with ratatouille is out of this world!

The Burger is insane....cut it in half and dip in the sauce. Unreal
Sherry ChrisJanuary 4, 2015
One of the best burgers ever. It's not on the menu, you can only order at the bar.

It's a BG New York City Secret! Tibi's Amy Smilovic says this is "the perfect little hideaway restaurant"—especially while it's snowing.
Aimee DuellJune 28, 2011
if you can score a table in the secret back patio, you will not regret and probably want to squat there for a few weeks. Read more

This restaurant is perfect for a romantic date. When I'm in New York for Fashion Week I love to escape here for a calmer setting and classic French food.

Great decor fab service wonderful food. Definite visit no matter what your tastes are.
Bin YangNovember 14, 2011
Amazing little garden to dine in in the back, plus the french food is fantastic. Get the tartare! And the steak!

Get there by 5pm (even though they don't serve until 5:30) to enjoy the Burger - only served at the bar and they are limited.
DaveJanuary 29, 2022
Probably the best burger in New York
Michel BallardJuly 28, 2013
There's a second dining area in the back (through the kitchen) that is awesome. Same food but totally different vibe.
Alex HunterJanuary 23
Great place to impress out of towners and get absolutely sloshed from martinis ❤️
Elle F.September 21, 2016
French. Saturday and Sunday Brunch, 11-3PM. Try the Burger.
Jonathan VuFebruary 15, 2014
Have a Mad Men meal: Vesper Martini, oysters, and Steak au Poivre.
Neil CaronMarch 11, 2016
Quality steak frites. A rarely discussed quality spot in soho.
Kate FurmanApril 13, 2015
A plate of steak frites and a glass of red, and you're good to go.
Seb BenchSeptember 19, 2011
Ask for a table out back - u go thru the kitchen! Then order oysters and pepper steak plus good wines - unbeatable!
Lili KostovaNovember 9, 2013
Amazing! The duck wins it all.
Amit GolanNovember 16, 2014
Steak au poivre and the skate fish were really good
Nour MalaebMay 30, 2017
just 12 burgers a night, served at 6pm. reserve/arrive early
Pip HolmesFebruary 21, 2010
Stunning French food. Ask for a table at the back and get to walk through the busy kitchen. The profiteroles with hot chocolate sauce are amazing!
Saif DiaApril 29, 2017
Skip the tartare, but the burger is unique and worth trying.
Chloe HOctober 14, 2019
The “special” burger au poivre made me violently ill. Eat at your own risk.
AlesiaNovember 10, 2011
Artichoke and steak au poivre are excellent. Definitely a bit pricey, but worth it.
Mindy JoyceApril 14, 2012
Tired of waiting for a table? Be nice to the mayor and he might help you out. Definitely has some sway here.
Alyssa B.August 3, 2019
I have to say, the burger. Served at the bar only. If there’s a wait, tell them you’re there for THE burger, and they’ll reserve it for you. Pair with a bourdeaux
Augusto LimaJuly 10, 2016
Beignets were best deep fried app I've ever had.
Santiago Perez SuarezApril 8, 2013
The waiter offered a temporary special on the menu: rabbit. Highly recommended
SolDecember 31, 2018
Of course, the burger. Great bite smothered in the peppercorn sauce. It’s a good burger, in a quirky spot, but not destination-worthy.
Amanda KleinMarch 9, 2013
Very romantic, very French. steak au poivre w cab is an absolute must
Deborah TsuchidaJanuary 8, 2019
Tip for myself, haven't tried: "best burger by Thrillist, but only 12 made each night at bar. Make it there before kitchen opens @5:30 to experience their perfect burger"
Kathryn DApril 1, 2016
Delicious without being too pretentious
Adam HurstMay 2, 2021
Get the burger. Life changing.
Kira FisherSeptember 27, 2015
The burger is available at their new brjnch time hours!
Mengxia ZhangSeptember 7, 2018
