Cafe d'Alsace is a highly regarded neighborhood restaurant on the Upper East Side, serving classic French bistro fare with a twist. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with consistently great food and service. The Lunch Prix Fixe menu is especially recommended, offering fresh salads, expertly prepared filets of fish, and sweet treats. Guests appreciate the excellent wine and beer selections available. The restaurant feels upscale yet approachable, combining French charm with a lively NYC vibe. On nice days, the outdoor eating patio and open frontage provide extra benefits for diners. Guests often enjoy the free bread, which is crusty but soft, creamy, and airy, perfect for pairing with their meals. The menu features standout dishes like salmon tartare, brook trout, and salmon with leek fonduta, which is described as extraordinary and unforgettable. The desserts, including creme brulee and chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream, are light, creamy, and satisfying. While the restaurant can be very busy and noisy during Sunday brunch, the service remains friendly and efficient. Staff members are attentive and cheerful, providing high praise from customers. Overall, Cafe d'Alsace remains a fantastic choice for a French culinary experience in the city, with a larger variety of choices and better value than many other options.
