Best French Tour In New York Near Me

Lara K: Honestly quite disappointed at this place. This is for the bakery only but they sold me a stale, at least a day old, baguette. If you’re going to sell old bread at least let people know, discount it, or make some croutons. I have gotten lovely fresh bread from here before so it honestly makes it worse knowing they’ll sell to people who want to support their business. I wish better for you!

Yi Cao: Came here for our anniversary. Michelin star grade food and service, def deserving of its reputation. The maitre d was fastidious and attentive to our every move and expression. He had a stern face on the whole time which was a bit intimidating at first. I thought it was because I underdressed but I soon realized that he's probably just stressed from trying to uphold the restaurant's high standards. Our waiter was French and very attractive. He looked a bit like Armie Hammer but without the cannibalistic complexion. He made our meal more enjoyable.

Richard W: that’s downright charming. Personally, I’d come back here for education on the classic French dishes.P.S. The seaweed bread is one of the best breads I’ve had.

Reggie Mateo: Le Coucou instantly came to mind when we decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We visited this upscale and sophisticated restaurant on one scorching July day to mark the occasion with a delightful dinner.Upon arrival at our reserved time, we were promptly escorted to our table, which offered a captivating view of the open kitchen.For dinner, there were two options available: a la carte or a set menu curated by Chef Daniel Rose. Opting for the latter, we entrusted the chef to guide us on a gastronomic journey.To accompany our meal, we selected a nice bottle of French rosé. Shortly after, we were presented with four distinct amuse-bouche, accompanied by homemade bread and butter. It proved to be a lovely way to commence our dinner. This was followed by a series of appetizers, including four pieces of oysters, leeks with hazelnuts, and yellow tuna with Madeira vinaigrette.Moving on to the second course, we savored the veal sweetbread with cream, tarragon, and Maitake mushrooms. This was then succeeded by an array of rabbit dishes as main course.To bring our dining experience to a satisfying conclusion, we indulged in sherbet, which was followed by other delectable delicacies. From start to finish, we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner experience at Le Coucou. It was truly a worthwhile choice for celebrating such a significant occasion.

Oliver Sean: Enchanting restaurant between Madison and Park av.We are close to perfection, the 3rd Michelin star is close!!

toffy concepcion: This is a 2* Michelin restaurant owned by one of NY's most legendary chefs. It truly deserves its' status. It was a rainy day and we came early in case of traffic. They accomodated is in the lounge and I had a nice glass of port while I waited for our dinner reservation. Really comfortable chairs and very elegant in a classic building.We had spot prawns tartare which were exquisite with the uni. We also had smoked sable fish vichyssoise with ossetra caviar. The mild sourness of the soup balanced the strong flavor of the fish and the caviar was a highlight.We shared a very rich and intense foie gras that was pre-seared then flambéd table side. This was a highlight of our meal. The soft shell crab tempura had different sauces and accents that elevated the experience.Some of us had swordfish which was a work of art and others a strip loin that even if it was rare, didn't taste bloody and was really tender. I could imagine it was prepared sous vide before it was seared.Dessert was a work of art. We had 3 different plates and forgot the names of the dishes.To end a wonderful night we had chocolate sticks including one our server arranged as a hashtag truly #exquisite.

Gizele Tavares: I had an amazing time and really enjoyed the caviar and cocktails. The service was phenomenal. Can’t wait to come back.Also enjoy with the amazing company the CEO Simon Evans from Stabilice Frozen foundation systems@gizele_.Tavares

Demi Hewitt: The last time I was at Daniel it was before covid. There were inconsistencies in the food that bothered me. On this visit, post covid, Daniel was back. Everything was perfect. There were exciting tastes and presentations. The service was prompt, attentive, and knowledgeable. Not being able to complain about anything, let me mention the dinner.The meal started with three small canapés each made from celery. The most amazing was a celery puree drizzled with a spiced sauce that brought heat and danced on the taste buds.The first course was foie gras, locally sourced, perfectly flavored. The second was scallops done in a manner I have never tasted before. They seem to be layered on potatoes and covered with a green sauce. I wish I could be more specific but I don't remember how the menu described the dishes. The combination of flavors and consistencies of each dish was amazing.The main course was a rib eye of pork flavored with a bacon spiced sauce and it was superb.Finally there was a lemon tart desert beyond compare.Go to Daniel!

Katelyn: This was a very disappointing experience. I had high expectations for this dinner because of the reputation that Daniel Boulud has and French food is one of my favorite cuisines but sadly almost every dish was completely flavorless. The desserts were the best part of the meal but still my boyfriend thought his didn't taste like much. The way that my oyster dish was plated looked like a half eaten plate which was very odd and I was really disappointed that my dover sole was raw and cold in the center. I loved the petits fours and the chocolate selection was cool at the end of the dinner. The take home canelés and the passionfruit vacherin were the best parts of the meal. We got the prix fixe menu and I wonder if it would've been a better experience getting the tasting menu. I'm definitely never coming back though, this was the first time I really regretted eating at a Michelin starred restaurant, I'm confused how it retains 2 stars. There are so many other starred restaurants in New York that I wish we went to instead, especially for over $700. Overall it wasn’t a good experience, the one good aspect was the service, it was actually one of the best that we had received on our New York trip so that helped a little bit at least.

Rogerio Teixeira: The lounge is very comfortable and gives you the feeling of being at their former Cafe Boulud . Great wine list with plenty of fairly priced options.I could eat here everyday. One piece of constructive criticism, there seemed to be some sort of lack of synchronization with serving the wine in the beginning of the evening and I just hoped the bottle had come sooner and the young lady serving, smiled more. Can’t wait to be back!

Olivia: Just when I was about to give up on the quality of food in NY during my week long visit, i got to celebrate my birthday at Bâtard. Everything was on point, the bread was warm, the tartare was perfectly seasoned, they also got the doneness of the meats right. The cocktail packed a big punch, and it was such a memorable meal. I fell in love at this dinner. Pity you guys are closing!

Cassie Eakins: Nice atmosphere and service, but for the price, the food was just good. It was our first experience with a Michelin star restaurant so we had high hopes, but this experience made us realize maybe we’re okay with a step down from fine dining.

Pedro Mejía: Absolutely delicious. You must definitely try the beef tartare and the duck ragou!

Francisco Santibañez: , service OK but wouldn´t say this is "fine dining" as vibe was relax and service a bit informal

Brett Bar: Another reason to love NYIn the middle if the bast places this stands outFood great, best steak tar tar i might have ever had and if its on the menu i eat it so its saying a litWine menu is so big but it will cost youBut 105 bucks for 4 coures in ctazy, cause its all greatSome knows all

Russell Maulitz: Recommended dishes Day Boat Scallops, Hamachi Crudo

Joe Priestley: A somewhat dated room but the service was impeccable. Food was very good. I do wish my steak knife had at least some kind of sharpener in the last decade. The NY strip was great but the knife was so dull, I ended up just using my teeth to tear the steak. Super good, okay room, and bad steak knives. We absolutely would go back and I would really hope we got the same service staff. Amazing people!

EvilNogard: Romantic, high-end restaurant that costs an arm and a leg. They have a great drink selection; they even have mocktails! The heirloom tomatoes are really flavorful paired with the cheese spread. The main courses are also cooked to perfection. The desserts are the star of the show; the rose vacherin is cloudy and tastes like a rose garden. This is an excellent place for a luxury dinner, but one should watch their wallet here.

Neha Luthra: The space was so nice! It was not very crowded, the service was great as well. But the food itself was amazing. I really felt it was worth it and it tasted great.

Peter Berberian: Such a great experience, food was amazing in both in visual presentation and taste. Service was outstanding. We will be back.Recommended dishes Beef Tartare, Duck Breast, Duck & Foie Gras Terrine …

Ray Ehscheid: My first time back to this classic New York space in about a year and a half, and still really impressed by the quality of the food, the rather amusing and spot on service, and the astonishing wine list that I recall from previous visits. The room remains the same, and the quality of the cooking is top notch. I actually think it’s quite a value now based upon the prix fixe menu they’ve created and will definitely go back. And they make a pretty damn good Sazerac…

珍妮佛: Isn't Michelin restaurant supposed to taste good food?The people who came to dine were very excited and kept talkingand speak loudlyThe dining environment is too noisy

Jason: This place was so fun to visit! I really like the atmosphere inside as it’s dim lit and romantic. It’s perfect for a date night. I decided to sit outside as it was a nice day. Partly cloudy, but tentative was great. I got the tartare with fries and a drink and for desert the apple tart with ice cream and an espresso martini. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about drink pairings. Perfect place for a special occasion, getting drinks with friends or a date night.

Patricia Reid: I hesitated to write this but am furious. We had a reservation but when we showed up the man at the front said he couldn’t seat us and we basically could not have lunch. He mentioned something about the shortage in the kitchen but would not elaborate and all we could do was leave. Meanwhile food was coming out of the kitchen and people were being served. I have been in NYC since 1979 and have never experienced this level of rudeness and lack of empathy. Do not go here. This behavior was simply unacceptable and outrageous

Pierre-Élie Fauché: Food is good. Racism is top notch.Service: 1/5 …

Kyoung Im Kim: stroller greeted by a smiling manager. Interesting decision-making process!The food is good, and the staff friendly and trying to help. However, dear reader, do ponder twice before venturing to this exquisite restaurant if you possess the audacity of having children. Or being Asian? Who knows.
