French Restaurants in Brooklyn, NY

“such a cute little brunch spot. classy cocktails and great food. quiche was fantastic and everything on the menu was served impeccably. coffee is bottomless is you get drip. they make some mean cocktails too. anything on the menu is a treat and service is amazing.“

“ventured out to try this restaurant out! friend really craved for their chocolate cake so we decided to go :-). ordered tuna toast, duck fat fried potatoes, scallop crudo, ricotta gnudi, and their famous chocolate cake. my personal fav dish is the tuna toast, super light and flavorful. the potatoes and ricotta were a bit too salty for my liking, the scallops were delicious but the portion was on the smaller end. service was amazing! ambience was very nice especially on a warm, sunny day. a great date spot or just a nice dinner with friends :). all the dishes were shareable as well!“

“To recommend anything on the menu - shrimp Mac n cheese. We took this home and devoured it the moment we opened it and couldn't stop raving how good it was. My partner who doesn't even like truffle couldn't put it down. I recommend setting a reservation, we were fortunate to originally be seated at the bar, and then offered a table due to cancelations. Ambiance is very chill, low lights music playing but you're still able to have conversation. Staff is friendly Food was delish. We got -Steak frites, burger, Mac n cheese and French onion- and was not disappointed !!!“

“Favorite restaurant, delicious food, sublime wine, amazing chefs Robbie & Sam , friendly and welcoming owners, Clement & Simone go above and beyond to make your experience of their gem of a restaurant simply the best! Love this treasure in our neighborhood, make your reservation and try as much as you can on the menu, every mouthful is just wonderful!!“

“I'm a huge fan of Greenpoint and specific to this section of the the hugely popular area with up and coming dining and events. House is located in the back of a dashi store which has all kinds of Japanese bowls, textiles for sale. The experience was nice, the seating felt you were in a very intimate environment, seats facing the chef and kitchen at all times. The service was top notch and what I expected for a 2 course menu north of $400. The food, we had the 2 course menu, a sake flight, a sake flight B, a Kirinzan glass, a Nanbu glass and a Hakkaisan glass. The dishes had an amazing presentation and were tasty but honestly the flavors did not move me. Perhaps it might be a style where the flavors are really flat and balanced which I can understand but I was not overly impressed or blown away by any 1 dish. All in all, great service and great experience which still is within what I feel a 4 star rating.“

“Great every time. Everything is beyond menu description.“

“Incredible food, everything has really interesting and unexpected flavors- favorites were the asparagus (Caesar flavored!), mushrooms with citrus sauce, branzino, and banana caramel cake. Highly recommend the rum cocktail with cultured milk and miso in it, surprisingly loved it but was not sure what to expect!!“

“Everything was perfection - from their service, to their drinks, to their food. We got the escargot to start, followed by the steak frites, pappardelle, and scallops. Everything was very yummy but the scallops were my favorite, and I will be ordering them again the next time I come!“

“Lovely afternoon in Brooklyn. Took the chef’s recommendation and ordered the steak and eggs for brunch.“

“Wonderful experience!!!!!“

“Spectacular food, with influences familiar to any culture, but combined in unexpected ways. Delicious cocktails that highlight amazing Agricole rhums in all their grassy, cane-y briney splendor, great, passionate service, and delightful service with personalityVegetarian options: Champignon bourgignonParking: About 40 spots nearby with fast turnover and mostly unrestrictedWheelchair accessibility: Very accessible“

“What a delightful spot for fresh meats and veg served up with a smile. Great wine selection and other alcoholic beverages. The outdoor space in the garden is stylishly appointed, and the indoor seating offers community tables and smaller tables. Absolutely love the food here!“

“The alcoholic pairing blew me away. The food, not so much. I can only recommend Restaurant Yuu if you love wine. For $180 you get to try 12 wine and sake with wildly distinct characters. Most of the bottles were priced above $85, with some being in the $250-300 range. Usually wine pairings are pretty bad value because only one or two stand out. The pairing here felt fully worth the money. Almost everything tasted amazing. Frankly, the drinks far outclassed the food in complexity of flavor and aroma.The food was much more about aesthetics than taste. Half of the food arrived lukewarm, perhaps from too much tweezer work. It was frustrating. Things were either not hot enough or not cold enough. There were glaring execution mistakes. It often felt like they were adding more and more components for quantity’s sake, but it did not translate to deeper flavors. The truly delicious dishes (asparagus, bread, sawara, squab, signature pithivier) were the ones with the simplest presentations that arrived piping hot. Though, looking back, the second half of the meal was really strong. It’s just that I sat through the first half hoping the food will get better at some point (which it did).In short, the drink pairing felt worth the $180, but it’s hard to justify $250 for the tasting menu when half the dishes were executed sloppily.“

“Amazing food. Amazing service. 10/10“

“Great foods great staff. Bravo“

“Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere and good food. I recommend the salmon burger .“

“Very enjoyable evening experience. Food was great and the service was wonderful!“

“Very good food and service by our lovely French waiter.“

“I've been loving La Sandwicherie since their original food cart operation by McCarren Park. So glad they opened an official shop! The menu is well curated, all ingredients are quality, sandwiches are made to order and everything I’ve ever had here tastes fresh and delicious.“

“I recently had brunch at this place and was very impressed! The food was delicious, especially their pancakes and egg benedict. The service provided by Abyr was exceptional—attentive and friendly. Overall, a fantastic experience that I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a great brunch spot with excellent service!“

“Got the cauliflower sandwich, the special hot chicken sandwich and the crispy potatoes. They were all really good and delicious. The chicken was crispy (wish it was a tad spicier), the cauliflower sandwich is amazing and my favorite thing from here (as a meat eater), and the crispy potatoes are always just solidly good. The ambiance though was a little chaotic feeling. I felt really claustrophobic in there, as if everyone around me was just a bit too* close together. The table arrangement felt strange. I get wanting to maximize seating but one table was in such a weird tight corner, one by where everyone walked by to the bathroom, and one had a plant where someone would be seated by the window? Also there were several 4-seater tables that just had a single person at them just reading or on their phones with a coffee while groups were waiting. I get that it's seat yourself/first come but it felt really inconsiderate as parties of 3 would awkwardly cram into/sideways into a 2 seater table while that was happening. I wouldn't come back to dine in for sure. But the food is delicious so back to take out exclusively for me.“

“Fantastic neighborhood spot. The ambiance is the perfect cozy, intimate, and friendly French restaurant. Every dish my husband and I got were delicious. Pretty reasonable prices as well for the quality of food and flavor! We got the steak tartare to start, the cassoulet, and beef bourginon. The steak tartare was a refreshing starter. The cassoulet was a great cozy dish in a cold night. Great flavor that wasn't too heavy. The beef bourginon was also fantastic. The beef was tender and moist and came with a great, rich sauce. Wine options were great and paired well with dinner. Also loved that the water cups were made from old wine bottles. Very friendly owners and servers!“

“Best Mussels hands down !!!!!!“

“Forgot to take a picture of food but here's an eclectic moment. Just a cool place helmed by the legendary restauranteur knowns as Mr Fish. Not surprisingly, the fish is fresh and properly cooked, which puts this spot above and beyond so many others. Fried, curried, sauced, you'll love it. Appetizers and desserts are wonderful too. BYOB, cash only, don't ask for rice, and you'll be delighted.“

“This place has a great atmosphere and service. Had a lovely time there. The wine selection was very good. Food was okay, the salada was interesting, the steak was a little overcooked, but the fried were delightful. The ice cream dessert was very good.“

“An unexpected discovery even though I’ve walked past this spot for years! The brunch here is excellent - great vibes, delicious food for the cost, and the hospitality is really great. A great lowkey vibe even on the weekends. Their homefries are “

“Panqueques deliciosos, crujientes y sus huevos Bendictos, exquisitos... muy recomendable, solo hay que esperar un poco, pero todo bastante bien“

“Busy brunch spot in greenpoint serving French bistro fare. A little pricey for an omelette, but yknow - Brooklyn.The croque Monsieur got 2 thumbs up from the Frenchie.Overall a good French bistro with lots of families during weekend brunch.“

“Had an amazing time with my family. Best please to visit“

“Amazing ambiance and staff... I've visited a bunch of times, and everything from Bertrand and Mominette is so delicious!!!! Just writing this, I wish I could taste it right now! Hope to keep getting to enjoy their flavors!Definitely go for the rack of lamb :) And the creme brûlée for dessert is ahhh-mazing!Kid-friendliness: Staff is so sweet with kids and great options for them“

“*** 3.5 stars *** Bar/restaurant with a nice view of the Manhattan skyline. Note that this space is indoors even though it is marketed as "rooftop" (although that is probably a positive in the summer and winter months!). We came for happy hour but they have a very limited happy hour menu (and were even "out" of the cocktail that I wanted) but I won't complain about that as there are great prices on the happy hour menu. The food/cocktails themselves are just okay, but that's not what you come here for.“

“Love Couleur! Friendly staff, warm atmosphere, welcoming little European cafe in Brooklyn! The food and coffee are amazing... and the pastries, to die for!!!! Love Couleur!!“

“Really happy with the new addition to the neighborhood. I'd say mid-level prices. I got two drinks, a burger and fries and It was 50$. Typical these days price wise! 12$ for a glass of wine beats the other spots 15-20$ glass of wine in the 'hood. Glad it's here will come for their all day Monday happy hours“

“I had to write about Pistache NY because I have never ever met someone as incredible as Yvan Bedouet. I was planning to have Pistache NYC cater my New Year's Eve party since he came so so highly recommended. I spoke to Yvan multiple times with many changes, where he had to draw up new menus which he did without any objection. It turned out I had to cancel due to medical reasons. He was so gracious, not only refunded all the money although I had insisted he keep a portion since I had to cancel, HE ASKED FOR MY ADDRESS AND DROPPED OFF A BOUCHE NOEL!!!!!I am in awe of Pistache NYC and Yvan Bedouet and can not wait to have them cater my next party.Thank you“

“A Mixed Brunch Experience with Promise for More: During a casual stroll through Park Slope with our dogs, my husband and I discovered Brasserie Le Mistral and decided to give their brunch a try. Our experience was a blend of highs and lows that has left us curious about their dinner service.The French onion soup, unfortunately, didn’t meet our expectations. It was on the watery side, lacking the rich, hearty flavor typically associated with this classic dish. The topping seemed more like croutons rather than the traditional bread, and the cheese lacked the fully broiled, melty characteristic that defines a good French onion soup.However, the burger was a different story altogether – it was impeccable. Cooked to perfection and brimming with flavor, it was the highlight of our meal and showcased the kitchen’s capabilities.Our server, a tall, white, young gentleman, added to the positive aspects of our visit with his charming and attentive service. Dining outside allowed us to enjoy some delightful people-watching, and having our dogs with us made the experience even more enjoyable.Despite the soup’s disappointment, the excellence of the burger and the overall ambiance have piqued our interest in returning for dinner. The promising reviews and the glimpses of potential we saw in our brunch visit make us optimistic about what Brasserie Le Mistral has to offer during the evening service. ????“

“Just recently opened my studio down the street, and was so very excited to try Cafe Gitane. It is so cute and delightful. It really felt like I had been transported out of New York. I can't wait to bring others here for coffee, breakfast, lunch out on the sidewalk (which they have a very lovely set-up). Food is excellent, and their cappuccino is so so good. I've stopped by a couple times before work, to take one to go!“

“This is our second visit to Bacchus and they did not disappoint, having not wanted to cook today Christmas Day we decided to dine at Bacchus. Everything was exceptional from the appetizers to the main course and dessert and the service I could not find fault. You guys did a great job today on the menu. thank you and all the best to you and your staff in 2024“

“Very delicious North African/French cuisine. The vibe is tranquil yet attentive. The food was well-prepared with deep flavors. Excellent service.“

“Amazing! Friendly service and environment ! High quality dinning ! Fun ! Cool music !“

“This is such an amazing place! I highly recommend the steak tartare and just about everything I’ve ever eaten here. The French apple martinis are definitely drinkable. From the friendly atmosphere to the scrumptious creme brûlée—this is a must visit restaurant.“

“Good food but strange policy. The waiter took our order and disappeared. Supplemental staff served the food. There was no normal waiter service. Then the tab included an added fee for "restaurant service" of about 15% That money I was told goes to the owner! No wonder the waiter went home.“

“Very good chicken taijin!“

“Great French food Great prices“

“Amazing restaurant!I love it! Delicious food and great music!!!“

“We had an amazing time. We did a medium size birthday lunch (9 adults) 2pm-530pm on saturday. Set up some decorations beforehand, picked menu items, all done with help and no issues. From beginning to end service was perfect - asking if we needed anything, when can they bring this, would we like that...Food was fantastic! Salmon kebab, liver cubes, hachapuri (pie), octopus salad, cheese cigars, duck salad,branzino to name a few were delicious! Waiter was personable, friendly and efficient. We were in the terrace room and it was exactly the atmosphere we wanted. Would easy do another party there again!“

“We Share Everything; and this cool place was a great date spot for Tasha and I“

“I can truly appreciate the effort and intent in creating this #smallbusiness The space is handicap accessible. Orders are taken at the counter and food is delivered to the customers sitting at the table. My goal, as a first time customer, was to taste Le Paris black coffee. The condiments were not labeled. ME - an Aries Ram Black man instead of asking for help, I learned that honey and agave syrup look similar but taste differently. I didn't enjoy the coffee. In reflection I was not comfortable - it didn't feel like a safe place to admit mistakes and take up the resources to ask for a second cup of coffee made properly. (This is what internalized racism looks like in behavior. All the customers were visibly white and the staff are Black.)“
