This very unassuming restaurant, that you can barely see as you are driving by, has some of the best quality food for brunch you could ever want and need. You can tell the one man chef show puts his heart and soul into everything he makes.I had the Nordic Benedict. Let me tell you. The light and fluffiness of the, what I like to call "Love bun" rolls that the, not porched, but fried egg was laying one created an almost spiritual lifting experience. Smoked salmon, to me, tasted like house made gravlax. The perfect blend of seasoning for the Benedict. And the Hollandaise sauce, was golden and perfect. $20I had a bite of the corned beef hash and potatoes, and it was also very tasty. The corned beef was seasoned right and it comes with a fried egg which makes the dish perfect. $20However, the in house homemade French toast was the most interesting and awesome dish I have tasted in a very very long time. The 6 "love buns" on a skewer, were served with maple syrup and this berry compote, that make you want to slap something, was an amazing addition to the dish. $20All of the brunch menu comes with coffee, tea or orange juice.For $20, I will be patronizing this establishment again and again.

Just go to cítrico cafe a few blocks away for $6 wines and much better food and service, I mean the place is cute, but wow the prices are insane. I am so tired of small spots like this charging soooo much money for the most basic of things. There are sooooo many way better priced restaurants/bars in the area. Try Napoli. Cítrico cafe and many more spots. The wine pours are not even 5 ounces and they have the audacity to charge $15! This is not mid town Manhattan. The food was alright. Very small crepe for $17. $60 including tip for a small crepe, an aperol spritz (which was awful), and a very weak pour of wine. So many better spots in the area that don’t charge these obscene prices. Server was alright. Place is very tight. Food takes forever. For these prices you would expect something much better. Save your money. I wouldn’t waste my time at this horribly overpriced place. Crepe was alright I guess. But did not leave full.

A slice of France in Queens! I love the laid back attitude of Cafe Triskell. The food is delicious - the French Toast is a unique take and a special treat for fans of custard. The brunch special is also a great deal and includes a drink (or a 5+ charge for a mimosa). Service is a little on the slow side, but food is always served hot which is critical. Lovely neighbor spot.

Very happy to see Cafe Triskell still going post pandemic as it remains one of the best French restaurants in all of NYC both for its authentic flavor and, at its core, being a spot for French comfort food. Don’t miss out on some of the best food in the city nestled in one of the best culinary neighborhoods in NYC.

An unexpected hidden gem tucked in a Queens street corner and a must for homesick frenchies on the quest for an authentic taste of home. The savory crepes (or galettes) are made with the traditional buckwheat flour and are perfect washed down with a glass of cider. Finish with one of their delicious dessert crepes for the complete experience. I'll be back for more... soon!!

Food was good, they really meant no substitutions though, couldn't get a side of fries and needed to have a 2 minute conversation to not cook the eggs runny. Service was bad, the server was rather inattentive and could not add the bill correctly.

The French onion soup was indeed fantastic, but the ambiance was not optimal. There was EDM playing so loudly that some component of the counter was rattling with the bass, which was very incongruous for a Saturday afternoon with only a couple tables occupied. It was also very expensive—we paid $56 for a chicken cordon bleu and a French onion soup with no drinks.
This place has a lot of meaning for me! I have very good memories there. Besides my memories it is the best place to experience authentic French cuisine. You must try egg-florentine and their crepes! It is soo tasty! Must go place in Astoria!!! Highly recommended

We visited here in 2023. 12. 23.We tried Cordon Bleu and Egg Florentine. Cordon Bleu was a little mild for us, but still exotic and good. Also, I love the sauce of Egg Florentine. It was perfect!However, the best part of this cafe was crepes. We almost lost a chance to try the crepe(tiramisu crepe), but the server highly recommended it to us. It was the best crepe we ever had. Even with no sauce, the crepe was so savory and nutty! If you chose this cafe, you should try crepe and onion soup!! Do not lose your chance to have them.

Authentic and unique space. We came for brunch but decided to have crepes (1 sweet, 1 savory). Both were delicious and made out of organic buckwheat flour following the traditional recipe of Bretagne. I will definitely be back to try their dinner items.
Best french place in Astoria and probably
