    Moules
    Teresa M.

    Bliss 46 Bistro is a hidden gem of a French bistro is Sunnyside, Queens, just downstairs from the 7 train. Chef Esteban makes great coq Au vin, moules, steak frite and the best French onion soup. The prices are so affordable and the petite restaurant is charmingly decorated.

    Very intimate little diner. We came for dinner for the restaurant lighting is dimmed. The place does look a little outdated, so a little makeover wouldn't hurt because the food is freaking amazing. The food is definitely the star of this place. Let's start with the biscuits it comes with 3 and butter. The bread is toasted and so crispy chedfs kiss baby... I got the pan seared salmon with mash patoatws w/ veggies. This was the best damn Salo I have tried in a LONGGGGG time, but the crispness and seasoning of the salmon will have knock ya mouth going crazy. The sauce pairs so well. I personally didn't like the veggies. Service is definitely is great!!!!

    Bread Pudding. Very tasty version

    Went with a group a while ago. Friendly service. Casual for a French bistro and right nearby the subway. Unsure of the prices exactly as they might have changed since I have been here so I am not including them outside of remembering they were very reasonable. I don't remember having a drink. They gave us some warm bread to begin. Tasty. The French Onion Soup/Gratinee Soup or a classic onion soup served with pieces of a toasted French baguette was tasty. Good base and not too light with plenty of cheese. Good version. My favorite of the main dishes was the Steak D'unglet With Pomme Frites & Haricot Vert or hanger steak with fries and green beans. The steak was cooked perfectly and the onion sauce (said d'unglet) was lightly sweet with plenty of richness. Outstanding dish. The Poulet Roti Aux Champignons with roasted chicken au jus with wild mushroom, mashed potatoes, and truffle oil was solid. I generally don't like truffle oil much but it was toned down here and the mushrooms were tender. Very tasty though the tender chicken itself could have more sauce. Also mushroom based was the Raviolis Aux Champignons or wild mushroom ravioli served with wild mushroom cream sauce. Ravioli had a good texture with plenty of mushroom. It would work as a vegetarian entree and it was fine. There's also an appetizer version of this. The Magret De Canard or seared duck breast with roasted fingerling potatoes, endive-gratinee, and red wine butter sauce is something I don't see on the menu currently. Properly prepared tender duck. Could have been a bit more tender but tasty. The Coq Au Vin listed as a classic French red wine chicken stew with bacon and mashed potatoes was solid as well. Typical version outside of it's more reasonable prices. Could have used a stronger demi but otherwise solid. For dessert, we got two. The Bread Pudding with vanilla ice cream and fruits was our preference of the two. Tasty and not too sweet with a good texture. The Creme Brulee was alright and one of the few things not cheaper than most other spots. It was fine. Overall, the bistro was solid. Not the best French food I've had but the prices were reasonable and a couple dishes in particular were outstanding. Low 4.

    This was my second time that I've been to this restaurant. The first time was years ago, so I don't remember it too well. The second time was during restaurant week. I did the prefixed menu where you get an appetizer, entree, and a dessert for $35. I got mussels in white wine sauce with garlic, shallot, and parsley as an appetizer, shrimp scampi with linguini pasta as an entree, and key lime pie (with a lot of whipped cream) as my dessert. They didn't have the dessert that I wanted, so the key lime pie was the substitute. Everything was prepared in a timely manner, and it all tasted great. The servers were very attentive and were prepared to take on any and all requests. The place itself had plenty of seating, and it was a Saturday night. Reservations aren't necessary.

    A total gem of a no frills French bistro with great food and service! On top of the regular menu of classic French bistro dishes, Bliss 46 also offers a list of exciting daily specials. Wine list isn't the most extensive but the bottles are priced so reasonably, making Bliss 46 a great go-to neighborhood spot. Their beurre blanc sauce which is featured in a couple of menu items is SO delicious and the red snapper from the specials menu was very fresh. Staff are friendly and the whole restaurant has a cozy, laid back vibe that welcomes many regulars. Do not let the humble appearance deter you from giving this spot a try! Bliss 46 takes food, wine and service very seriously and that shows.

    I have mixed feelings about Bliss 46 Bistro. My husband and I have ordered takeout from this place before and had a decent experience. Last night was the first time we went in person, and I don't know that I would necessarily return. The food was not bad. It wasn't memorable or great, but it was okay. We were with friends and shared the charred Caesar and side of Brussels sprouts. The Caesar was good but could've used some shaved Parmesan on top. The Brussels sprouts had a decent char but were very undercooked (essentially raw). For entrees, my husband ordered the hangar steak, our friends ordered the sole and a burger, and I asked our server if she would recommend the coq au vin or the roasted chicken. She described the roasted chicken as being "more plain," so I went with the coq au vin. When the entrees came out, I was presented with the roasted chicken and noted that I had ordered the coq au vin. Rather than recognize the error, our server insisted that I ordered the roasted chicken (even though my husband and our friends also confirmed that I had ordered the coq au vin). It was not the end of the world, so I said I was fine with the roast chicken, but it was a bit off putting that I didn't get the dish I ordered and then was told I ordered the wrong dish. The server was right in that the chicken was very plain. It was juicy but could've used more seasoning. The mashed potatoes were okay but not warm (room temp). My husband liked his steak but also felt it was under seasoned and noted that the green beans were almost raw. Our friends seemed content with their entrees, or at least they didn't say otherwise. Overall it wasn't a terrible experience, but it wasn't necessarily positive either.

    We had a delightful time at the bistro. It was not too Crowded. This is a nice place to take a date. Soft lights. The place as not fancy but the food was good. The have specials and dishes they can make make off the menu. The mussels were yummy in their own sauce. The seafood was fresh! They open pretty late.

    Surprisingly, this is such a nice small French restaurant. My friend moved into the neighborhood, and I was helping her organized stuff in her apartment and after that go out to eat. This restaurant will be on one of my favorite places now. Food is great even it isn't much interior decoration. My favorite menus are mussels, escargot, lamb chop, Pan seared Red Snapper. During busy hours the food can be slow, but I can wait for a delicious food and get to spend time with my friend.

    Our appetizer Moules Marinieres

    March 2023 to April 3rd was the restaurant week in Sunnyside, Queens. Happily Bliss 46 Bistro was part of it. https://restaurant-month-2023.queenstogether.org/ This is my 2nd time eating at this restaurant. A Both of use had Moules Marinieres as appetizer. I ordered Pave de Saumon aux petit riz and my friend, Jana ordered Raviolis aux champignons as our entree. Very impressed that the salmon skin was so crunchy and the salmon meat retained its moisture. Delish! My dessert was a classic profiteroles and Jana ordered Mango Mousse. A big homerun again for this authentic French Bistro in Queens. I will return again.

    I was very excited to go and try their prefix lunch menu, and when we got there, they were closed. So we pulled over and started yelping other restaurants in the area but before we left, we tried giving the restaurant another call. They finally answered the phone at 11:45 AM and said they were open so I guess whoever was opening was late. The restaurant was cozy, quaint, and nicely decorated with French posters and flowers. Our server was friendly, but barely spoke English, which I didn't have a problem with but if you're going to come by and ask us, "how's everything so far? ", and I tell you that the burger patty is horribly under seasoned, it's a problem when the answer is, " so everything is good so far? " I got the prefix lunch with the avocado and tomato salad, Coq Au Vin, and mango mousse for dessert. In hindsight, I should've chosen the ginger carrot soup (soup of the day). The dressing on the salad just didn't do it for me, and I'm all about the dressing. The red wine sauce for the Coq Au Vin was delicious, but the chicken really needed some salt. With just a little salt, this dish would've been excellent. The bacon and mushrooms helped carry the mashed potatoes, but not seasoned enough to carry the chicken. The mango mousse was pretty good, but not sure where it falls in French desserts. My husband opted for the Yankee burger, although he wanted the bacon-blue cheeseburger, but our server said that the Yankee burger had a bigger patty. We asked him what the burger weighed, as in 1/4lb or 1/3lb etc, he said he didn't know, but he said the Yankee burger had the biggest patty of the four on the menu. That doesn't make much sense to me since all three burgers were the same price of $16.49. And only the Bliss 46 burger was $12.39. I'm not sure why he didn't want to go ask the kitchen. The burger was assembled well and held up, but the patty was grossly under seasoned. If it didn't have all these toppings, the burger wouldn't be edible. The fries were also well-made. Again, some salt would've gone along way. It was almost like they forgot to season the meat. When I go back? Possibly if I was in the area, but I totally went out of my way this time and was disappointed. And someone really needed to empty that tiny little garbage can in the tiny little bathroom that was full from the night before.

    Just as lovely as last time. Reservation held. Asked if we wanted a specific table. How nice. BYOB as always and a fav of mine. Yummy onion soup and Caesar salad. Really good Yankee burger with smoked bacon and thin fries. I had pan seared Branzino with spinach and veggies. Absolutely delicious and not a bone in sight. Tiramisu and coffee for dessert. No more tart tatin big bummer. Their $28 3 course dinner is great for the price and actually all the prices are reasonable. Service is kind and helpful and sweet. Will be back.

    Winter Restaurant Week Review 1/6:…read more I went back to this popular Alsatian spot for Winter Restaurant Week a few days ago with a group, having gone there once before for Summer Restaurant Week, as per the previous review, and once otherwise to share a few plates during one of my usual group dinners. Compared to many other French spots, it is a bit more reasonably priced, at $45 instead of $60, and with no listed add-ons. The service was friendly enough, but we had a surprisingly quick meal for a French place, so I guess this Alsatian meal was more German than French, since we were in and out in around an hour. In terms of the daily offerings, as the menu online lists daily specials for the appetizer and main, the Soup Du Jour was vichyssoise, and the main was an Alsatian fish dish with green pesto and other things, which sounded unique, but I was in the mood for duck. I didn't bother with wine, though someone else had a glass, and for food, most of us stuck with the same dishes, except, I believe, someone got the trout instead of the choucroute. They gave us some crusty bread to begin with, which was warm and tasty. Most of us went with the Pétatou Gratine to start, consisting of a warm potato and Vermont goat cheese gratin, olive Niçoise, basil pesto, and a bouquet of mixed greens. The warm gratin was mildly salty taste with a mild goat cheese funk. and was pleasant. The olive and basil added some freshness. This was good, and a few of us used the remaining bread to soak up the remaining pesto. My main dish was the Choucroute De Canard with duck confit, duck sausage, steamed potatoes, Riesling braised sauerkraut, and natural duck jus. This version of Choucroute garnie was quite different from last year's offering, being entirely duck-focused, as per the word canard, rather than a mix of pork products. The sausage was mild, with a light snap and a pretty juicy interior. The best part was the confit, which was nicely crispy on the outside and very tender inside. The sauerkraut, as last year, is slightly sweeter than the typical German variety, as it is braised in Riesling and contains some juniper berries, which weren't the most pleasant to bite into. As last year, I was not a fan of the potatoes, as they were undercooked and still slightly hard. In general, I preferred it this year, as the duck was better than anything in last year's version, even if the dish was a bit less filling overall. For dessert, we all chose the Alsatian Brioche Mandiat with caramelized banana, coconut sorbet, and crème Anglaise. This was the highlight of the meal and was also a pastry I'd never had before. The laminated pastry dough had a light crisp and plenty of banana inside, with the sorbet being sweet but not too much. I expected the dish overall to be a bit too sweet from the combination, but thankfully it wasn't, as the buttery brioche presumably helped balance it. This was excellent, and I wouldn't mind buying a larger version for a party or something. If they charged $60 again, I probably would have reduced my rating to 4, especially given the service feeling a bit too rushed, even for my taste. However, at $45, I would still recommend them.

What really bothered me wasn't just the mouse itself (it's NYC, things happen), but the management's reaction. When we flagged it, the managers basically shrugged and said some version of "oh well, at least it's only a mouse and not a rat... we'll go on a mouse hunt later." No apology, no sense of urgency, no visible attempt to address it in the moment. For a restaurant with Orsay's reputation and prices, that's completely unacceptable. At this level, I expect basic standards of cleanliness and food safety, and a management team that takes a situation like this seriously. Instead, it felt like they were used to it. I'm sharing this in the hope that ownership will take this issue seriously and get it under control immediately, because right now I have zero confidence in the hygiene standards here and won't be returning until I'm convinced things have changed.
