Correctness/Taste (1-5): Despite me getting a very basic dish which was steak and frites, it was executed quite well. The steak was seasoned very well and charred haha, good eggs as well. The Crème brûlée was delicious. - 4/5 Value (1-5): I think for what you are paying for, you get quite a lot, eggs, steak and potatoes . - 5/5 Customer Service (1-5): My server was extremely nice and chill.

The burger was delicious. The side of chips was just okay, though my boyfriend loved them. Service was super slow and slightly unfriendly. I'd suggest people try this place, but I wouldn't run back. Lovely outdoor ambiance. read more

It is pretty sidewalk sheets and It was so packed with bunch of people surrounded. I feel this place is always the best in the neighborhood. We enjoyed our summer night. it is really cozy and pretty. The mussel and fries were good, but I wish the original taste a bit more flavorful? Was just expected more garlicky but was still fresh and warm enough. Thank you so much. read more

Café Paulette is the true neutral of Fort Greene restaurants. It doesn't attract and it doesn't unattract. You won't make plans to come here, but one day the bar seats at Roman's will all be full, and you won't have a ticket for the pop-up at Rhodora. On that day, you'll remember seeing people sitting outside on DeKalb Avenue on a perfect summer day, and you'll realize that they were at Cafe Paulette. read more

A friend made a reservation for 5 for Sunday brunch. While we ended up being a party of 4, they didn't seat us until our full party arrived (I get it; especially during brunch - but there weren't any walk-in patrons waiting to dine in and we had a reservation!). Our server was an older woman who was very funny! She got our order down quickly and brought our drinks out shortly after. Most of our food was also brought out together, which was nice because we weren't waiting for long before we all dug in to our food. I had the waffle with the caramelized apples and fresh fruit. The apples weren't quite what I had expected and were definitely on the mushier side but they were still tasty with the waffle. The fresh pressed juice was also very good (though quite expensive for juice - at $8 a glass!) Within the hour, we had gotten close to finishing our food and wanted to continue chatting, but we got asked to leave to make space for a family that did not want to dine outdoors because it was chilly. So I guess the lesson is: eat slowly if you want to fully enjoy your time and company here. read more

Enjoyed the burger! Really liked the salad that came with it, very well dressed would definitely recommend. I liked the orange wine I was recommended, fruity and matched the meal I would say. Our waitress was kind and allowed us to try a few different wines before we found the one we liked. It's cute inside but small so I think to be safe you should book in advance. They do charge you for mayonnaise if you ask for it. read more

My friend suggested we go to this French restaurant when she found out I have stressful week ahead. I didn't expected to like this place as much as I do. I ordered a cup of drip coffee and Eggs Benedict. My portion of the bill was $29 including tips. I don't know if it's because the waitress saw I was taking a lot of pictures hence she was more attentive to us or what. I have to admit the service was 10/10. The dish and coffee receive two thumbs up from me too. read more

A beautiful French restaurant tucked away in Fort Greene! It's great for small groups of 2-4, and would be perfect for a date. The food was excellent -- we tried the burrata, mussels and steak tartare. My impression is that the French entrees were by far the best: the burrata was good, but the tartare was packed with flavor and texture. Service was also super attentive: during the meal I chortled and snuffed out the candle several times, and without fail the servers always relit it! read more

I visited Cafe Paulette on my recent trip to NY. It is difficult to find restaurants that will take reservations, especially for brunch. Our reservation was for two children (one requiring a high chair) and four adults. It was a little chilly outside so we were luckily seated inside. The front table was perfect to accommodate us, the children, the high chair and all of our gear (diaper backpacks, stroller, etc.) My husband and I ordered to share with our son: - Oeufs Benedicte - This comes with two poached eggs on an English muffin, Hollandaise sauce, French ham, fries and a salad. This was delicious, I really liked the Hollandaise sauce. - Omelette du Jour - This comes with organic eggs and your choice of fries or salad. The veggies inside of the omelette made the omelette even better. Fries portion for both dishes was huge! - Fresh Fruit - This side was beautifully plated, it was nice for the children to pick from and encouraged them to eat more fruits. Overall, the staff were friendly and accommodating of our large party and the children. Food came out fresh and just as we ordered. I would definitely make the trip back here if I am back in the area :) read more

Went for brunch with my parents and husband. Husband and i got BLT and neither of us liked it. the soft bread and bacon just didn't work. My mom got a waffle and also did not like it. Overall we were not happy with the food. ALso they apparently no longer have live jazz anymore even though their website still advertises it Overall skip it read more

I got the classic eggs Benedict and a Bloody Mary. It was good but nothing special. It was easy to get in on a Sunday afternoon, but was definitely crowded. The service was decent and the ambiance was loud. read more

Solidly mediocre. If you are in a pinch and want something 'French-ish', I guess you can come here. But be prepared to be disappointed. Everything was prepared like the chef was trained to cook for a cafeteria. Mussels were not fresh, steak frites were pretty bad. The salads were good though, so I guess you can come for a salad, fries, and wine. read more

If you're by Fort Greene Park and want brunch food, this is a good option. I just don't get wowed by brunch food in general. The shakshuka here is unique in that it is part ratatouille so you'll get lots of veggies. Also fries are thin and crispy! read more

I went to this restaurant with my boyfriend for our anniversary and it was overall a great experience! We arrived a bit early to our reservation but the server was able to fit us in, which was great! When we walked in, the overall vibe I got of the place was a bit loud and crowded, however super intimate. We started off with the house salmon gravlax and it was delicious. The salmon tasted fresh and buttery on top of the provided bruschetta was excellent. The sparkling Chardonnay accompanied the house salmon gravlax well. The house brioche was warm and toasted perfectly. The waiter noticed we finished all our house brioche and even provided us more. For entrees, I ordered the mussels and my boyfriend ordered the chicken and we both enjoyed our meals. There were a lot of mussels so I thought it was well worth the meal. The fries were also good. My boyfriend thought the sauce that accompanied his chicken well. We ended our meal with a crème brulee and we thought it tasted great! Super creamy and the caramelized sugar was sweet and crunchy! Overall, I think this place is a great for a date night out. If you're ever in the area, I would suggest you try! read more

Went here with my partner for Valentine's Day. We were seated promptly in the heated outside area and started with a wonderful bottle of red wine our server recommended and a half dozen oysters which were great. For dinner, we split one of the specials of the night, a raclette cheese dish. Everything about it was amazing and it arrived quickly. We dessert we had a cake to go (I believe this was also one of the specials) which was incredible. The staff was helpful, friendly and prompt. The vibes inside seemed great too and we hope to return Fabian soon as well as check out their sister wine bar next door. Wonderful experience overall. read more

I love this restaurant. The food is good, the ambience is great. But yesterday the service was godawful. Initial server left without saying anything and no one picked up our table. We waited for almost an hour and finally asked the busboy to send someone over. The new server was rude - acting put upon at having to close us out and like it was our fault the other server left. The owner was no better. I worked in food service. When a shift changes there's a table handover, even if the kitchen is closed, as long as there are tables seated someone is responsible for those tables. But the owner and the new server blamed the original server rather than taking responsibility. This was a simple we are so sorry situation, but I had to raise it with the restaurant owner in front of a vendor and other customers to get an apology. She of course defended her rude server and blamed the one who left rather than taking responsibility. And then blamed me for escalating. Even though I was neither yelling nor cursing, simply saying the wait was unacceptable and providing feedback to the owner. I guess she didn't like being told something unacceptable happened in her restaurant. Too bad. Fortunately, there are a lot of good French restaurants in Brooklyn. Will stick with those. read more

Great food. Service was good and you feel like you're in France. My husband and I came here for dinner and it's a very cute, cozy French bistro spot. The service was great. The staff were attentive. We ordered the pate, which is our least favorite as it was a bit bland and tasteless but we really enjoyed the steak frites and duck. The sides that accompanied it especially the salad was a secondary star to the dish. read more

Decent brunch place in Brooklyn. I'd go if in the area but not sure I'd make the trek just to eat here. The best dish was the shahshuka which was delicious. The croque madame was good too. The Bellini was pretty bad. I wouldn't get a drink here. Overall decent brunch, slightly overpriced. Friendly service! read more

This place would be an AMAZING date spot! I went with a friend but will definitely go as a date in the future. The bartender was super helpful with wine recommendations and was very attentive even though it was packed. The food we got was definitely a bit pricy for the quantity however it tasted great. Very happy with the entire experience. We ordered the hummus and deviled eggs. The devilled eggs were VERY tasty but you only got 2 eggs and it was 12 dollars - which is why I thought the portion for price wasn't ideal for me. The wine portion and quality for the price though was excellent! read more

The people and service were great, but it might be the worst French onion soup I've ever had. I was so let down! I bought a pretty pricey bottle of wine along with it to share with my sister, but we both had a really terrible day, were craving French onion soup, and hopped in a Lyft to get here, so for the soup to be that bad was just a huge, huge bummer. Maybe their other menu options are better but skip the soup. read more

I came here for brunch with friends on a recent visit Brooklyn. We didn't have a reservation on a Saturday (a risky move), but they were able to seat us outside, which was lovely. I ordered the croque madame, which was very tasty, and incredibly filling. I didn't even finish the fries, which is really saying something because I love French fries. The fries weren't my favorite (they could have been crispier), but the sandwich itself was fantastic. Service was friendly and quick. read more

Friday night dinner for 2, outdoor dining. Wow. Confit de Canard a L'Orange Duck (Hudson Valley duck confit served with smoke beets, green beans and orange glaze). We both ordered this as we both wanted it. Usually we try not to order the same thing and in this case, we did not err! The oysters were disappointing especially for the hefty price of $3.50 each and a lot were tiny! Wine (rioja) by the glass was also just ok. Wish they had more by-the-glass options. The Creme brûlée and peaches and cream desserts were both delicious! They did the brûlée perfectly :) Service was attentive and friendly -- the host helped squeeze me in as I thought I made an online reservation but apparently it didn't register. I would come back to try the steak and bunch! read more

5/5 experience! I stopped by Cafe Paulette for brunch with a group of 4 friends after checking out the farmer's market at Fort Greene Park. We didn't have a reservation but were seated outside right away Coffee, drinks, and food all came out quickly! I ordered the Burger Paulette: Juicy, the Challah bun was a nice touch and I appreciated that it came with both fries and a house salad. Another friend ordered the Croque Monsieur - the sandwich and specifically the bread used was delicious. A tip for anyone ordering the lemonade: at first it wasn't sweet at all, but our server kindly brought us some simple syrup when requested! Overall, everyone enjoyed their meals and the service was fantastic. We would come back to Cafe Paulette for brunch again. read more

Comfy, delicious, not rushed. I went for brunch with my son. I had the omelette of the day, which was an excellent ratatouille omelette. It would have been five stars except I had to chase down my waiter several times. They rarely checked in. Maybe it was because I was behind a pillar?? I would definitely go back! read more

I got brunch with my friend at this place on a Saturday since we were looking for a spot in Fort Greene. We came when it was still warm out so we did outdoor dining. Thankfully we make a reservation because there was already a line when we got there for brunch. We were seated right along the outside wall of the restaurant. The spot is overall cute and comfortable for two people. I ordered the eggs Norvegiens which were just alright. There was nothing particularly tasty about them. If you are a big fries person, then this is perfect for you because they sure do load up the fries! read more

Come for a glass of wine near the park on a really nice day. Good ambience. Skip the food. A "tartine" was a piece of toast with minimal ham on top and a few pieces of arugula: $19. Ouch. The glasses of wine were about $18-19 but at least I was prepared for that. read more

Went here with my mom and boyfriend for a midweek breakfast / brunch and it was nice. It was no frills, pretty straightforward. The coffee was intensely strong in a fun way and they also give you big mugs of it. Cafe Paulette does not shy away from sharing their fries with you. Cheese quantity is also not a worry. All in all everything was very yum. read more

I had a great time and a great meal! Chris our server was top notch, and the wine selection was nice. Taste: we had the moules frites, an artichoke salad, bread and butter and some recommended red. The mussels were nice and not too rich and buttery. I think the artichoke salad was just ok, but I still liked it. Experience: our server was so kind and fun and a little flirty which was cute. Thanks Chris! There were a lot of staff that came out and asked us if things were ok. Our glasses of wine and water were always full. We sat on the sidewalk in not the best table, but I still had a great time. Mood Before/After: I was excited before and tipsy and happy after Fullness: Very full What else did I eat/do today affecting my experience: I was chilling with a good friend's ex roommate and we had a great time ribbing each other over this meal. read more

Going back when I visit NY in January. This French Bistro run by the ever present Angelique Graux is an outer borough gem. The service is all smiles and on top of your dining experience. So far the Onion Soup(as good as it gets) and the Steak typical French fare in this spot unfortunately not in Paris. Food is flavorful and comes out hot. Worth the trip from San Francisco. Can't wait for my second bite of the apple, so to speak. read more

Phase 2 Outdoor Dining Alert!! Cafe Paulette is situated right in Fort Greene overlooking the park. I almost feel like this location was MEANT for outdoor dining! This was my first time taking advantage of NYC's phase 2. It was lovely to sit outside, sip delicious wine, and enjoy a charcuterie board. All the tables were probably 12 feet apart, and most were filled with people but it's just a short wait to get seated. I think I'll have to come here at least weekly to enjoy some bubbly, sunshine, and the great view of Fort Greene Park. Also - bring your dog! read more

Always great experience. The food the staff the owner the vibe. A small French restaurant with a cool wine bar next door. You can go alone or with a date or the family. The steak frites is one of the best in the city and the prices are reasonable for what you get. I also really love sitting at the bar there. The mix of people is just what I want at a restaurant. Very like NY and Paris. read more
