I like big juicy Belgian fries and I can't lie. The Belgian fries from @pommefrites were absolutely…read moredelicious, they're so warm and crispy. I liked the size of the fries and their texture. The portion sizes are good here and the regular size fills you up. The mango sauce that I chose were also really delicious with the fries. The vibes of this place was an European style old world pub. It feels like your transported to the Netherlands or Germany. The fries also came out really quickly and customer service was good. However, this place is very busy and crowded! It can be really hard to find a seat or a place to sit down, and there's a constant stream of people going in and out. Price:$12.47 Rating: 8/10

I've been coming to Pomme Frites for over a decade, and let me tell you -- these fries have…read moresurvived every NYC trend, Covid, every late‑night craving, and every "I just need something salty right now" moment. Through the years the fries and sauces have shifted slightly, but overall it's the exact same iconic experience it's always been. When you're down for pure salty‑crispy fry bliss with a ridiculous lineup of sauces, this is the spot. Whether it's a pre‑funk stop, a post‑drinks craving, or just a "treat yourself" moment, Pomme Frites stays tried‑and‑true. The fries come out hot, fresh, and perfectly cooked every time. The sauces are still the star -- you can't go wrong with any of them. It's one of the few places that's stayed consistent in a city that changes every five minutes. Still my favorite fry spot in NYC... and honestly the only place that even comes close is Reykjavik fries in Iceland. Forever a classic. Forever worth the stop.

Why doesn't Yelp just rename this listing from BXL Zoute to Le Bistroquet to keep all the followers and content. It's still the same owner and most of the same staff and menu. The vibe is the same as always: great Belgian beer, wonderful food and pleasant company. Seems like Yelp always does things the hard way, loosing value for themselves and their customer in the process.

The servers are friendly and very attentive without being overbearing. We ordered the sole, octopus, lobster croquettes and homers mussels pot, and finished off with the stroopwafel cheesecake.

The accompanying veg and pomme puree however were lovely, and my husband enjoyed it even if it wasn't my thing. He also enjoyed a martini and it was solid. We will be back to try their other mussel pots and have deemed Waterzooi our flagship special occasion restaurant.

As someone who has come to this bar regularly to watch Knicks playoff games, I can confidently say…read moreI will never return after what happened during the NBA Finals last night. What this bar pulled was completely unacceptable. They were openly reserving seats at the bar for certain people while telling everyone else they were unavailable. There was no advertised reservation policy, no advance notice, and no opportunity offered to regular customers. Apparently, the only way to get a seat is to know the owner, know the bartenders, or be part of the inner circle. What made it even worse was that my group had been sitting at the bar, ordering food and drinks starting around 7:30 PM, only to be forced out of our seats at 7:45 PM. The reservation signs on those seats clearly stated they were reserved for 8:15 PM. We were paying customers actively spending money, yet we were removed 30 minutes before the supposed reservation time. That is absolutely egregious behavior. I've worked in sports bars and have owned sports bars in New York City. In all my years in the business, I have never heard of reserving seats directly at the bar--especially during a major sporting event. It goes against everything that makes a sports bar successful. Bar seats have always been first-come, first-served. That's Sports Bar 101. I've spent plenty of money here over the years because it was always a great place to watch big games: good atmosphere, sound on the TVs, and a fun crowd. Unfortunately, last night proved that customer loyalty means absolutely nothing. Regular patrons were treated like second-class citizens while preferred customers received special treatment. For a bar that markets itself as a neighborhood sports destination, this was incredibly disappointing, unprofessional, and frankly insulting. If you're planning to watch a major game here, don't assume you'll be treated fairly. Unless you're friends with the right people, don't expect the same experience as everyone else. There are plenty of other sports bars in Brooklyn that understand how to treat customers. After last night, I'll be spending my money there instead. I won't be back, and I certainly won't be recommending this place to anyone. Let's Go Knicks

Café D'anvers is a small Belgian cafe in Carnegie Hill. I had a reservation for dinner with a…read morefriend. The restaurant door was open so it felt airy and had the ambience of an outdoor cafe. The service was quick and attentive. I ordered the carbonnade flamande, which is a beef stew made with Belgian beer. My friend ordered the Moules Frites. Normally I'd get the Moules Frites as well but I wanted to vary it up since I had seafood for takeout the night before. This was my first time having this beef dish. You could taste the beer in the beef stew but it wasn't too overpowering. Felt almost like a goulash. I was hoping for something with a bit more seasoning but overall, it was ok. The dish came with frites too which I was excited to try. They were crispy yet soft on the inside. I like my fries a little more skinny and crispy but these went well with the beef gravy on the side. Overall, the evening was pleasant but the food wasn't the best Belgian I've had, about a 3/5 for me. Just so so. Also, as a side note - They really need to work on their bathroom situation. The queue was really long for one stall and people were lined up the whole time we were there.

We appreciated the fans set up to keep the air circulating. Service was very attentive while we were there. Everyone with whom we interacted was gracious, friendly and attentive. Really, no complaints about service. The food? We had some hits and some misses. The mussels were a hit and the portion was generous. The fries were great but some crusty French bread would have been a good addition, to help soak up the flavorful broth. The Merguez sandwich was a miss. Despite the menu stating that it was served on a baguette (and picture on Yelp of other diners receiving the sandwich on a baguette), ours was served on ciabatta. Really, not the same thing. We did not say anything at the time but we would not have ordered it had we known. Total disappointment. Also, the person on our party that ordered this sandwich found the fries way too salty. Luckily, the attentive staff kept the water refills flowing. I doubt we would return to this restaurant in the future the next time we're in the area, despite the friendly and attentive service.

Went to BXL Café near Times Square on a weekday evening for a quick drink with a friend. We sat at…read morethe bar, and there were a decent number of people there for around 9pm. We had just popped in randomly but quickly learned that it was an authentic Belgian restaurant and beer café. They have a full food menu, although we did not order any food, along with a good selection of Belgian beers and a few ciders. I ordered one of the ciders on tap, the Aval French cider, which was enjoyable and not too sweet, priced around $10. The restaurant has a long bar with seating and TVs toward the front, along with a good number of tables in the back. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the volume was conducive to conversation, which I appreciated. Overall, a nice option if you are in the Times Square area and looking for a low-key spot that does not feel like Times Square. I would definitely consider stopping in again for a drink if I was looking for something quick and was in the area.

A lot of New Yorkers will tell you this is their favorite burger in the city…read more Pastis was one of the most popular restaurants in New York during the sex and the city era, but it shut down for five years before reopening a few blocks away in 2019, only then introducing it's now famous Cheeseburger à l'Américaine. - Two smashed patties with crispy edges, American cheese, pickles, and house sauce on a bun from Balthazar bakery...same owner. Before that - the steak sandwich was the thing to order - sliced steak, melted Gruyère, and caramelized onions on a crusty baguette. Rich and beefy, with no filler. Nowadays - it's a tough choice. Torn between old and new, classic and reborn, my brother and I executed a perfect double split. We also ordered the French onion soup for the table - it's a thing of beauty - as cheesy as a French onion soup NEEDS to be, and just full of rich flavor. You can take turns dipping their excellent French fries into it, or better yet...dip the whole damn sandwich in there. And the fried artichoke appetizer - this is my kind of veggie - crispy edges...butter everywhere. This meal demands a martini or two - it's that kind of moment. I eat one or two burgers every trip to New York and I still can't keep up, but I really enjoyed this one, and I hope I can come back to try their brunch soon.

Pastis is legendary because it helped teach New York what the Meatpacking District could become…read more When it opened in 1999, it was one of the engines of a neighborhood transforming from industrial edge into a place where fashion, nightlife, and all day dining could coexist. If Balthazar is Bergdorf Goodman, Pastis has always felt closer to Dover Street Market: younger, more creative, a little less formal, and completely fluent in downtown style. My first instinct was actually Barneys, which feels even more accurate on a vintage-adjusted basis, but using a departed institution to describe one that famously closed and then rose from the ashes felt almost too neat. Over the years, I've eaten here many times, both at the original location and since its revival with Stephen Starr, and it has never disappointed. The burger is excellent, I'm fairly certain I've had the steak frites and seafood here, and I still remember noticing someone else's lobster frites and immediately making a mental note for another visit. The people-watching is reliably first-rate, but so are the details that make Pastis unmistakably Pastis: the flowers, clocks, white tile, vintage mirrors, and beautifully worn finishes that have since been imitated by countless restaurants. What fascinates me now is the brand's arc. Pastis began as a pioneer in a Meatpacking District that was still gritty, neglected, and changing at extraordinary speed, then closed, returned with Stephen Starr as a partner, and began an entirely new chapter. That evolution feels fitting: McNally's original downtown instinct joined with a Philadelphia hospitality juggernaut, and a restaurant once associated with the frontier of a changing neighborhood has grown into a commercial pillar in vibrant markets well beyond New York. Few restaurants have influenced the visual language of modern brasserie dining as thoroughly while remaining this enjoyable to eat and drink at. Pastis now stretches into Washington, Nashville, and South Florida, with Miami already thriving and Palm Beach on the way, and I genuinely want to experience them all. There is something satisfying about watching a place that once helped make an overlooked neighborhood fashionable become a durable institution capable of anchoring destinations elsewhere. The Meatpacking original will always be the reference point for me.
