Rory ParnessJuly 8, 2016Great BYO place (S-Th). Kassulet was seriously good but filling so if you plan on ordering, go easy on the bread (which is meh). Duck breast was excellent too and goat cheese tart and escargot were ++
Jen ChangAugust 20, 2013Goat cheese tart and hanger steak. Amazing. Cannot go wrong with this romantic resto. Also big plus is BYOB where you can order delivery from a wine list the restaurant provides. Cash only!
Stefanie CheukSeptember 29, 2013Omg their filet w/ foie gras spread on top is absolutely amazing. mallard duck is very flavorful how duck should b prepared. Slightly overpriced for the service & atmosphere but food is well worth it- Neetu MApril 27, 2012This place has got be eating duck. Cherry duck out of this world. Hangar steak is not bad either. Staff is super nice. I walked in but heard you need RSVP. Bring cash - BYOB but they gave me free wine
Ariana VoyerAugust 29, 2016Fantastic wine list, panzotti, tonnarelli neri, raviolis and short rib carpaccio! Outdoor seating is also lovely
Das HeffriesFebruary 14, 2013everything was wonderful. had mussels with mustard sauce. french onion soup. hanger steak. filet. which I recommend all. except the seafood pie thing. which I dont remember what it was called.
Albert TongMarch 6, 2015Kassulet is awesome. Duck confit, slab of bacon, pork sausage braised in duck fat. Truffle gnocchi is addicting.
- Martin RigbyJuly 10, 2018The cassoulet is amazing but has so many calories it is best eaten before intense physical activity. It was originally a meal intended to last a soldier all day.
Carly MFebruary 3, 2013Best time to dine is definitely after 9. Beat the crowd and enjoy the sweet ambiance of low lighting, some window seats, and a fantastic playlist. This place is a gem.
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014While this French bistro is no longer BYOB, they now take AmEx. Make a reservation in advance and bring your appetite, especially when tackling the Kassoulet.
Diego RomeroMarch 2, 2015One of The Best french restaurants I have tried. The classics: escargots, fillet mignon,, and duck with and incredible goat cheese tart!- Michael Fox-RabinovitzJanuary 26, 2016Very charming spot with excellent service and a warm and engaging host. Great food, foie Gras and vegetables stand out
Nancy HeOctober 10, 2014The pureed veggie they give you is so good. Also the filter mignon with foie gras is super flavorful and rich. Great that it's byob.
william verondaJune 9, 2017The portions are huge. Three of us shared a goat cheese tart an appetizer and a Tarte Tain for dessert. Both exceptional.
DanielaOctober 10, 2011Fantastic BYOB experience. Food was delicious, service was perfection. Met chef-owner Didier on the way in - what a charming man! Don't forget to make reservations and bring cash.
James SaeleeDecember 28, 2013BYOB (no corkage fee), cash only. Get the curry mussels and the Tournedos Rossini (filet mignon topped with foie gras). So delicious!
John HodgeOctober 13, 2013Ramen is very good, especially the spicy one. Ask for no mayo on the pork buns.
Sandra BaezSeptember 9, 2013French onion soup, sautéed baby octopus, all the veggie sides, this filet mignon with foie gras.. all incredible!
Elif K.February 8, 2015Escargot is amazing even for less adventurous types. Lovely food, small restaurant, great for a fun night- Ashish SharmaFebruary 25, 2014Must try dishes: Goat cheese tart, roasted escargot. The French onion soup is pretty darn good too.
The Corcoran GroupMarch 18, 2011Make reservations at this tiny and delicious modern French bistro. Enjoy BYOB with no cork fee and try the Tournedos Rossini. Cash only.
Shay CorbettNovember 11, 2013Great food that won't kill your wallet. BYOB with no corking fee and great service. Will DEFINITELY come back.
Jen LeeJune 23, 2010Please, please order the curry mussels. The mussels are fresh and they're basked in this rich, cream, flavorful broth (almost a curry sauce). Other favs: beet salad, goat tart and profiteroles
Saj SalickramDecember 31, 2013Duck is amazing, as is puréed veggies, who knew baby food could taste so good?
SiobhánSeptember 30, 2018Food was great… after I had to send it back to the kitchen because the waiter had given the opposite order from what I’d asked for. And essentially no cards taken but all the crypto currencies? Weird.
DensAugust 17, 2011BYOB but there's no wine shops in the hood. Ask for the wine list from the place that delivers: 212-229-2409
EstherAugust 25, 2012Filet w foie gras, hangar steak, escargot--all phenomenal. Profiteroles--amazing. BYOB was just icing on cake.
The New YorkerOctober 19, 2010Didier Pawlicki, the chef and owner of one of the tiniest, least pretentious, more pleasurable French bistros in the city, is a sensitive and adaptable—not to mention Internet-savvy—soul. Read more
Tony BorelliApril 24, 2013The Kassulet (cassoulet) is wonderful, and you won't be hungry again till breakfast—or lunch.
StephenSeptember 12, 2012Try the Tournedos Rossini - Filet mignon topped with foie gras! Plus the side vegetables are unlimited. SO DAMN GOOD.
Thompson HotelsMay 24, 2011Recommended by our concierge William at Smyth. BYOB with no corkage fees and totally down-to-earth French cuisine. A pleasant experience.
ElizabethAugust 2, 2013Quaint, delightful, delicious. Our waitress was an exact replica of Amelie. How much more French can you get than that?
PandaBelle chicAGoJune 24, 2010Goat Cheese Tart & Moules Vignerones (dinner portion - trust me, if you get the appetizer portion like we did, you'll be sorry!) are to die for!
Amy WangMay 9, 2010Wow. Foie on top of filet?! Curried mussels? Sweet succulent duck? Love love love this place!! Please go. And expect a mega calorific meal :)
stephiedooJuly 18, 2011Goat cheese tart is delicious. Duck and lamb leg is also amazing with their signature sauces.- BYOB is awesome, but this place is a cant miss in NYC.
Jenifer RAugust 17, 2011Friggin luv this joint! Tiny but Big on yummy! The charming Didier is a winner :)
