Best French cafe in the globe, or at least West Chelsea. Don't let uncomfortable chairs deter you. Amazing omelets , beautiful crepes and great staff . And if you wait long enough you may even see me.

Jessica Randazza

Without a doubt one of my favorite places in NYC and consequentially the whole world. Come in early for a quite start over a perfect omelette and greens. And ask for Maria, you won't regret it.

Renee T

Quality food, lots of choices. Great coffee & crepes ! Sunday brunch always a wait. Tiny tables are packed tightly. Cozy intimate atmosphere . Don't try coming here with more than 3 to your group.

Liz Brown

I really enjoyed the coziness of this place. If you don't feel like a sandwich or crepe , try the Shrimp Curry ! Totally unexpected and seriously amazing! My friend who frequents here was blown away

John King

While I only visit NYC every couple of years, I always stop by here for the best almond croissants in the planet.

Chris Policino

Crepes are amazing. Nice service, friendly people, little tight but very euro-cafe feeling. Highly recommend for brunch - enjoy the atmosphere and food very much.

Sonny Datoy

you can forgive yourself if the moment you step in, you instantly feel like you're in a traditional parisian bistro and want to exclaim oooh la la! (please don't)

Angela Chung

Salmon burger and French onion soup is delicious! The live music is really good as well ! Perfect ambience for a date night :)

Leslie T

One of the female servers was whack at the very end - beware of the snooty brunette w/ponytail. Otherwise the turkey , ratatouille & goat cheese crêpe was amazing! SO much goat cheese !

Tim Zuckert

Great light lunch or dinner in a friendly local spot . These days with some terrific outdoor dining options.

Sofia Papastamelos

A delightful spot for brunch or lunch ! Build your own crepe -I like cheddar , egg , ham , and ratatouille .

Cheryl

Charming Parisian cafe in Chelsea that serves delicious savory crepes . The French onion soup is perfectly gooey and rich.

Yelimar Rodriguez

The carrot ginger soup and the crepes where delicious! In full frenchie style they let us have a lengthy convo post meal without kicking us out with the check.

Neelu Ravi

They have got delicious French onion soup . Savory crepes are incredible as well .

@JaumePrimero

The nutella crepe was a Sunday afternoon staple for years!! Lovely french cafe where you could literally spend an afternoon reading the paper and enjoying the menu.

Ina Li

Cafe with tourists as well as elderly locals. Good food and good vibe.

Don Flanders

As a French onion soup aficionado, Le Grainne is tops in the city , followed by Cafe Henri, Le Bonne Soupe , and Tout va Bien, in that order.

Rory Parness

Chocolate croissants are the best I've had since Paris. Make sure you ask them to warm it up, makes it that much better

Zachary Martz

Great for mussels and fries in summer! Back patio for summer wine and brunch .

Ettedanreb Gottlieb

It's all about crepes . They are marvelous! They als serve noodles , sandwiches or salads . It's a lovely place.

Kirk Edmondson

Tasty French cuisine in a lively and warm environment. Live acoustic music on most evenings.

Mary Ann Caram

I eat here quite often with colleagues as we work close by. Excellent food, great service, and all around lovely atmosphere. Feel like I'm back in a tiny, off the main road restaurant in France every

Damien C

Get the saucisson beurre. Basically the best baguette and meat I've found outside Europe.

Olivia Fabbro

Love the crepes !! Also French toast is good

Elizabeth Burstein

Croque madame was decent but not amazing, great service

peter Nicholson

Great crepes . And salads . A real French simple bistro . And it's across from Billy's

Dan Goldin

Really enjoyed the breakfast omelette . Good ingredients and well prepared.

Red Panda

I had a drink is like milk with rum plus honey highly recommend it Superduper Duper delicious!!!

Nicky K.

They're known for their brunch but the dinner is so underrated. Jasmine curry shrimp !

JasonH

Second the recommend on the Crepe with ratatouille , turkey and goat cheese

Tim Vetter

An honest French joint, warm, homey , and unpretentious. A savory crépe w mesclun for under $10 = one of Chelsea's better brunch or dinner values. Bonus: atmosphere & peoplewatching.

Maria Sanminiatelli

Good food, cozy atmosphere , great variety of people and you don't all have to be there to sit at a table! And you can sit there for ever.

Liz Brown

The Shrimp Coconut Curry was to die for and a must try!!

dawn.in.newyork

French onion soup ... Full of cheese . Awesome.

Desmond Foo

The filet mignon here is delicious, and I usually hate eating steaks at restaurants .

Phil H

Always a regular for breakfast when in New York. French Toast is incredible.

Juyeon Lee

PLEASE get the coconut curry shrimp entree. Just do it, and thank me later. :) but only get it if you like curry !

Lauren Elle

Great crepes with authentic French cafe atmosphere

richard goldberg

When it's jammed on the weekends, and you are jonesing for caffeine, standing in the doorway, mind melding people to leave...head to the counter, order your drink of choice and sit outside. Yes!

Tom M.

Turkey club is hot and delicious

Randy Faust

Never more welcoming than on a slick early winter morning, when the coffee is strong and the patrons share their warmth.

Jamie

Great coffee and crepes . Nice change of pace for brunch .

Ben Brooks

Try a crepe with Swiss cheese , Tomatoes and bacon . Comes w small salad and I crave this!

Julie Gundrum

The crepe creme de marron is absolutely divine. Ask for the Matteo cappuccino for a perfect pairing.

Stephen Mlinarcik

Thankfully, the delicious food and warm atmosphere made up for the severely lacking service. Only go if you have an hour and a half to spare and don't mind dirty glasses.

Eliza K

The food is delicious, and they have fun ice cream flavors . Beware: Wine is very expensive considering the super small pour and low quality.

Sebastian Gil Parga

The crepes are awesome; Nice ambient

Aleksey

I liked their crepes and steamed mussels .

Rachel

Great café . Amazing crepes :) Make your own crepe , you won't be disappointed.

Ryan Matzner

The chicken braillard is the best I've had!
