    I really don't understand why we have walked by this place so many times and never dined here. This week we decided to eat here. In a neighborhood that offers pizza, tacos, fast food burgers and pubs coming here was just very refreshing. It is a small French bistro with great service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have live music on the weekends. A person on a guitar singing random songs[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We thought the whole atmosphere was actually very cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a very nice menu plus offer a great selection of seafood and steaks. We started with the mussels and for dinner we had their salmon, truffle mashed potatoes with asparagus. Hanger steak dinner with mashed potatoes and and another one with fries. I have to say that everything was cooked perfectly. Another thing, after we made our order they brought us warm bread (we didn't have to ask for it) which we really enjoyed. For desert we shared a creme brulee. Their prices for dinner was so ridiculously reasonable. This is really a great neighborhood restaurant.

    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 The place does look a little outdated, so a little makeover wouldn't hurt because the food is freaking amazing.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!!!!

    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 [[HIGHLIGHT]]the petite restaurant is charmingly decorated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    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.

    Red Snapper over Mushroom Rissotto with Beurre Blanc Sauce

    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
    Arlene C.

    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.

    Bacom- Blue cheese Burger

    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.

    Profiteroles and apple tart!!

    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.

On the walls you'll see Paris images like the Pont Alexandre III bridge, Parisien streets and newspapers. There were a few couples having an intimate dinner with the dim lighted seating. A little too intimate for a first date though imo. We came as a group and we were seated on the side as a party of 5. For the appetizer, we tried the caramelized onion tartlets, which was around a bite. But nice to share, and everyone gets one. For the main, most of us ordered the duck breast, which was not a bad choice because it really was delicious, and so was their salmon - however one caveat is that the food took such a long to come out. The duck is a little fatty, which honestly was pretty good if you like that. The salmon comes with a side of ratatouille. Note that some of the mains are only served on specific days such as the duck confit. We ended up sharing the dessert which included the creme brûlée, warm chocolate fondant, and the apple torte. My favorite was the chocolate fondant as it tasted similar to a lava cake. The creme brûlée did come with a hard caramelized top, which made it really appetizing too. Would absolutely get the desserts again.

    Jacques has become one of our favorite special-occasion restaurants on the Upper East Side…read more When we're celebrating something or simply want a memorable meal, Jacques is at the top of the list. The restaurant feels like a little piece of Paris tucked into the neighborhood, with vintage French advertisements decorating the walls, attentive service, and a menu that consistently delivers. On warm evenings, the outdoor seating is especially lovely. White tablecloths, cocktails, and excellent food create an experience that feels elevated without being stuffy. Dogs are welcome outside, and on our most recent visit there were several of us furry diners patiently supervising our humans' meals... My mom couldn't decide what to order, so she went with two appetizers. The salmon tartare was outstanding and unlike any she'd had before, with a unique flavor that may have included ginger. She also ordered the sea scallops served with Black Forbidden Rice and a Madras Curry Emulsion. The sauce was rich, unique, and absolutely delicious. Dad stayed loyal to his steak frites with au poivre sauce, which never disappoints. The cocktails were equally impressive. Mom enjoyed a seasonal special called the "Gin and Chill," while Dad ordered an Old Fashioned. There isn't a dog menu, but that didn't stop me from carefully monitoring every plate that arrived at the table in hopes of an accidental tasting opportunity. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner, a neighborhood favorite, or simply a great French meal on the Upper East Side, Jacques is well worth a visit. Dogba's verdict: Elegant outdoor dining, excellent people-watching, outstanding French food, and plenty of opportunities to politely stare at steak frites.

But after trying their cuisine, this restaurant became more than just a place to watch a mini concert, glass of wine in hand. My favorite dish here is their carbonara, and I dare say, it may be the best carbonara I've ever had. The pasta is wonderfully creamy with generous bits of guanciale. I mean, just look at this beauty - it's glistening! As though this dish weren't creamy enough, it's topped with a half cracked egg, the yolk a vibrant orange. The idea here is that you incorporate the yolk into the pasta while it's still warm. This is a French restaurant after all, so I will warn you that the service here is quite European. From my experience sitting at the bar, the server won't fuss over you as you dine, and if you needed anything, you would have to flag him down. It's not an issue to me. I don't like feeling rushed at dinner. Just looking at the marvel that is this carbonara is a reminder that I should book another reservation here soon.

    What a lovely wine bar and bistro. Not desirous of a heavy meal, the trout special sounded perfect…read more- and it was! Fingerling potatoes, ample sprinkling of capers and tender white fish. Service fast and friendly, bathroom clean, and an overall good vibe. I'm definitely coming back to sit at the bar or try the soup.
