My favorite restaurant in LIC. recommend the hanger steak, the mussels, salads, and the escargots. Service is friendly and super welcoming. The Sancerre is a great wine at a terrific price.

"Have breakfast at Tournesol, where you can order eggs benedicts royal with salmon served with french fries, and hollandaise sauce. For something more conventional, try the delicious bread pudding.

Good food and nice spontaneous hospitality, and not just because we speak French, the Japanese girls next to us seemed very happy. This was my second time, I will go again.

Try the steak-frites bernaise, which comes with a green salad. And the $18 carafe of red will make sure you don't break the bank. Sit outside if the weather permits. It's roomier than inside.

Great French food with American Portions. Bring your woman or your friend and enjoy this local gem. Great Hanger Steak, Coq au vin, wine and super friendly staff.

Everything was delicious! Our meal began w/a few of the specials: scallops, endives & salmon and beef ragout. The lamb, veal, duck, steak avec frites and trout were fantastic (big portions).

A fascinating French wine list is just one of the lures that might draw you, fish-like, to this neighborhood bistro, just one stop into Queens on the 7 train. Read more

Romantic ambiance, try the signature cocktail and definitely order off the nightly specials menu. Remember to bring cash!

The bouillabaisse on the specials menu is amazing, one of the best I've had. I've never been disappointed with the food here and the service is impeccable.

Long Island City gem featuring outstanding specials and a prix-fixe Tuesday through Thursday. Top quality French cuisine.

On a weekend night definitely get a reservation so you wait less than a walk-in! Definitely try the appetizers and dessert. Big portions though!

You definitely should keep room for dessert at this French Restaurant. The profiteroles au chocolate will make you feel like you're in France.

Very fun and attractive staff that I've seen dancing in the restaurant late at night. Sit at the bar for dinner and they'll keep your wine glass full just out of habit.

Cute, inexpensive French bistro serving authentic French cuisine. Dishes to try: Reblochon tartiflette, cassoulet (special) and Ile flottante.

Burger at lunch is delicious - caramelized onions, gruyere, on brioche bun. So good!!!

Cute restaurant decor. But if you want a delicious French brunch, go across the street to Cafe Henri.
Kelsey Taylor HuntJanuary 1, 2014
So delicious. Very small and very authentic. Lovely people and delicious/affordable wine. Highly recommend!

Throw rocks at the windows above and I'll come down and give you a hug.

The distinctively French brunches here feature croques madames and monsieurs and steak frites. After dining, check out the Manhattan skyline in Gantry State Park. Read more

Get the duck or the steak frites and a nice glass of wine.

They have one of the best Steak & Frites I've had in NYC (over Les Halles and L'Express). Gotta try it!
Arminda Guillama-RodriguezAugust 25, 2011
Great wine selection, and affordable. If they have the coq au vin, definitely get it - warm, hearty and delicious.
Rebecca TrentOctober 2, 2010
The best restaurant in the neighborhood. Stay for the whole experience from appetizer to dessert. I crave the Carrot soup almost every day.

The French onion soup is a must. Steak is a little disappointing but a good price.

Very slow service. I can't even comment on the food cuz not sure when it'll come out. It took them over 10 mins to even take our order. Bread came 15 mins later while other ppl after us got it first.
