Just when you think a place can't surprise you. I got the seasonal quiche for the first time (onion, mushroom, spinach) which was fantastic - gooey, nice crust, flavorful. I got it with the iced tea which is sweetened, as part of the brunch combo. Not too sweet but be aware.
Food (5/5) - Ordered the French toast, croque monsieur, and French onion soup - I'm normally not a French onion soup type of person, but this soup was so freaking good. I ate every last drop. Highly recommend - The French toast was soooo delicious as well. Very soft and custardy on the inside and not too sweet. It paired perfectly with the berry compote - the croque monsieur wasn't bad but I would recommend trying the first two over this one! I really enjoyed the salad that came with the sandwich though Service (5/5) - slow but I think they only had one server. It would be good if they had at least two but they were very friendly Ambiance (4.5/5) - small, intimate - they played very interesting music lol (hip hop, rap, edm which I enjoyed but thought it was kind of funny) - great for friends and had some seating for large tables!
GET THE FRENCH TOAST!! It's incredible and more than enough food for breakfast. It comes with berry compote, syrup, and six round bready toasts that are super soft, bouncy, and moist. Servers were really nice but it seems there is only one waiter so service took a while between ordering and receiving food. The interior is small with seating for about 15 people. It's simple and clean, feels like a local French bistro.
Stopped by there for a quick dinner and once again they just nailed all the dishes!!! We got this muscle appetizer for the first time and the white wine sauce was just so spot on. Also I was thinking they might have the best fries I've ever had. I love the aesthetic of this place and the service is always welcoming and attentive:)
The good: Food, speed, music choice (happy lively 80s-90s music)! The fries were salted just right and the Croque monsieur was just the right temperature! Ham was ok. Now, the rest: The menu on google maps, Apple Maps, and Yelp is an "old" menu with $5 less on most prices. Once you get inside, there's a QR code to a "new" menu with higher prices and a slightly different layout. And, I was overcharged on tax by a bit. I feel transparency is extremely important in what are the menu items -- The QR code could link to the same on-google menu, for example.
Everything on the menu sounds delicious here. One of my friends always wanted to try this restaurant so we finally got together for brunch. It's a homely place that serves the right amount of food (not too much, not too little) and makes it look aesthetic and delectable. The French toast comes on these skewers which is a fun take, and a good size for consuming. The croque monsieur is simple but covered in delicious cheese which a simple but actually well flavored salad on the side. The staff are kind, helpful, and timely and the conversation with my friends was great. Additionally, the music was really good - I didn't recognize a lot of the songs but it really helped the conversation and I do wish I asked for the playlist.
What a gem Cafe Triskell is! I wish I lived in the neighborhood. If I did, I'd visit often! This review is for brunch. There were other customers but there weren't people waiting to sit so the staff let us stay for a while which was nice. The brunch entrees come with a coffee, tea or soda, while some also have a mimosa as an option too. Ordered: French toast entree ($20)- my friend and I wanted to try this so we ordered an extra entree. This was the best decision we made! The French toast skewers are to die for! They come with stewed strawberries and syrup and we polished them off. At $20 this was a little pricey but I suppose it also comes with coffee, tea or a mimosa so that seems reasonable. We didn't get an extra drink since we were sharing this as an appetizer. Quiche ($15)- the quiche of the day had spinach and broccoli in it. It didn't have cheese but it was really good. The egg tasted custardy almost. It came with a side salad that had a nice dressing. I believe there was mustard in the dressing. The portion was a nice size! I have nothing bad to say about my meal at Cafe Triskell. Do yourself a favor, and give this place a try!
This is probably the 3rd or 4th time I've eaten here over several years, and each time the food has been delicious. They really know how to make crepes here! The buckwheat crepes are exactly what a good French crepe should be--thin, the slightest bit crisp while still retaining the pliability that allows you to cut and fold it over onto your fork. The ingredients inside are quality too. The restaurant itself is quite small, seating about 16-20 people including the seats outside, so often for brunch there's a short wait, but well worth it. The French toast skewers are a popular item and they happened to run out when our party of 4 arrived around 1:30pm on a Sunday afternoon, so we got crepes (ham and cheese, and a goat cheese walnut, and I can't remember the last one), and a croque monsieur with a couple coffees. Yummy and affordable. Would come back for brunch here any day! My previous experiences with staff here have been good and nothing out of the ordinary, though this time it was a little odd how after being seated the waitress seemed to ignore us for a good 15-20 minutes although we tried to get her attention a couple times. It was extremely hard to flag her down to order, get the check, and pay the bill. Like she said all the right things and was helpful when she came to take the order but otherwise didn't respond when we tried to say anything before or after that point. I understand it was pretty busy for one person to be handling 8-10 tables but this is also pretty standard for most restaurants and the tables are small here. If she was trying to pace the service an explanation or a friendly gesture would be sufficient to impart a better experience to customers. If I were a new customer I might dock another star for service but I'm giving the benefit of the doubt here and overall my experiences have been positive.
This is the best brunch place I ever been to. The food was impeccable. We got the croque monsieur which is a French sandwich with ham and cheese which was so buttery and cheesy. The salmon egg Benedict was so good, they give a lot more salmon than other places. Along with he meals it comes with coffee or tea. The place itself was super small and very understaffed so the service wasn't the fastest but the food definitely made up for it!
What a shame about the service. This is a lovely French bistro with a low-key presence on 36th Avenue, and we really enjoyed their beverages, French Onion soup, and baked dishes. However, the waitress, who couldn't speak French, ignored or forgot about us while we waited to place an order. Though I spoke with the owner afterward about his cuisine, French culinary background, and experience, this still left a bit of a lingering taste.in our mouths. Overall a worthwhile experience. They definitely are popular. Note: at one time, they were the only French eatery in Astoria; however, with the arrival of Chez Olivia, they may need to upgrade their menu and service
I had the opportunity to take a nice romantic lunch with my lovely wife. I found Cafe Triskell on Yelp and decided to give it a try. Ambience: It was only outdoor seating, which comprises 3 tables on the sidewalk. My wife tells me this is not uncommon in France, so I guess this is authentic. Food: House Specialty Homemade French Toast (5/5) - home made "toast" on skewers. The texture was more pancake than toast, but the flavor and texture...OMG. Croque Monsieur Sandwich (4/5) - A good representation. I am lactose intolerant to I skipped this one. Wife says it was good. Pan Seared Hudson Valley Duck Foie Gras (5/5) - Instagram worthy. This looks like a piece of art. Lucky that it tastes every bit as good as it looks. Frisee Salad (4/5) - not a big salad eater, but damn, this was good. Especially with the poached egg. Service: Friendly staff who took the time to explain items on the menu. There were only 3 tables, so you would expect them to be attentive. TL/DR: Can't wait to go back for some more french toast and Foie Gras.
One of my favorite spots in Astoria. It feels like a European cafe, with a cozy interior and a couple tables dotting the sidewalk. I recently came for brunch for 2 on a Sunday at 11:30, without a reservation, and had to wait about half an hour. The weather was pleasant and I parked myself on the bench outside, and it was worth it! I ordered a ham, scrambled egg, and swiss cheese crepe. The buckwheat crepe had a great texture and the fillings were tasty. Overall, it felt very simple in a good way. I wasn't sure if it would be enough food, but it was delicious and I was full and satisfied by the end. I also ordered a coffee with milk, which was fantastic!! Really good coffee.

WOWWW HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Must get: THE FRENCH TOAST & THE FRENCH ONION SOUP This was the fluffiest french toast I have ever had in my life. I almost cried. The french onion soup was outstanding as well (voted best onion soup in NYC daily news) Also...the poached eggs. I've never seen poached eggs made so perfectly. Honestly, the chef is an artist. This is really an excellent French breakfast/brunch spot. Hole in the wall, quaint, super tiny (only seats 18 total inside, with 3 small tables outside as well) Everything we ordered was made extremely well and the service was warm and friendly. I can't wait to come back for brunch or lunch or dinner. Disclaimer: CASH ONLY read more

One of my favorite brunch spots and where I go to when I'm craving French. Had their brunch specials that consist of a drink and main. I had Croque Monsieur with a cup of coffee one time and Eggs Nordic with glass of mimosa another time. Both times I shared a crepe for dessert with a friend - their crepe is French style, super thin, not too sweet, very light. I've tried their Lemon and sugar crepe, simple but so good. I hope to visit soon to try their lunch/dinner menu! read more
This place really is the "little restaurant that could." This place is so miniscule, but they always manage to produce a great meal. I used to come by here more often since I used to work a few blocks away, but my visit today made me realize how much I miss this place. For me, this is the quintessential neighborhood gem. This place offers non fancy, rustic, well executed French food, I guess it would be considered a cafe rather than a bistro. I have always left this place happy, well done Chef Phillipe. The food: Escargot- sautéed snail, bacon, cherry tomatoes, herb butter served w/ bread. I am such a sucker for snails, they have such a nice texture and flavor, or at least it picks up the flavor it cooks in well. I would say a snail, for those who haven't tried it, is like a chewier mushroom. Ideally a snail that is cooked and served in the shell is the way to go but that is such a rare thing to see now a days, but the snails here are very good none the less. And don't forget to drown the bread in the garlic butter. nom http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=0NgqgV8XOOyT71ua81AZEw&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Triskell Savory Crepes- Button mushrooms, Swiss cheese & herb butter. I really thought this combo worked well. The Swiss cheese they use here was such a high quality cheese with a great chew. The mushroom and herb butter offered a nice earthy note. Croque Madame- hot sandwich with ham, Swiss cheese, and bechamel sauce plus egg served with a side house salad and potato chips. So I was kinda tricked into believing that a ham and cheese sandwich was so boring and plain, oh no, not here it wasn't. I only really ordered it since it seemed like everyone ordered it. And I can soundly say it is the greatest ham and cheese sandwich I ever ate. Period. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=R3hQc0gyWtiuqUsc_qOQHQ&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Dessert Crepe- homemade banana and chocolate jam. Oh sweet Moses...when the crepe was served, I immediately had the "I am going to be disappointed' feeling. Shame on me. The crepe looks very basic and the condiment is served on the side. The crepe felt more like a paper thin waffle with a hint of sweetness. The crepe was crunchy yet slightly chewy and the banana and chocolate jam was sweet but not over the top sweet. I am a fan of their sweet and savory crepes. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=cloN2ebb4V6lZndoUdADIQ&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA read more

I came here after reading all the great Yelp reviews and Im so glad I did. The place its tiny and only takes cash but let me tell you the food makes up for it. Here are the things I tried, French onion soup which was amazing and mind you I don't even like French onion soup. The French toast were the best I ever had, croque monsierur was very tasty and the nutella, banana crepe was pretty good. I will be coming back read more

Unassuming 'hole in the wall' serving fine dining quality French food with generous portions. Our 3 teens, new to French cuisine, even "Loved" the food. We all couldn't stop eating despite being already beyond full. The Buckwheat crepes we're perfectly scrumptious and the best we ever had. (Cinnamon, Banana Nutella and the Butter were the 3 different types we tried) Escargot, Pan seared Tuna, Rib Eye, Cordon Bleu, Monsiuer Sandwich... All delicious! No need to dress up was a bonus on top of genuinely friendly service. Wishing we lived here to come back for more! Best meal we have had in New York during our week long visit. read more
The most delicious food in all of Astoria and Long Island City. From the music to the food, you are instantly transported to a quaint French town. If you want great food, a great atmosphere, and an amazingly personalized food experience, come here. read more
The outside is very unassuming, easy to miss if you're not actually seeking it out, or even if you are. We came after dinner for late night desserts, and got the sweet crepes. I went with the Lemon and Sugar crepe with berry compote. It was yummy, thin and just crisp around the edges. The light buckwheat flavor was distinctly noticeable, as was the sweet tang from the lemon. But let's be honest, I could've probably eaten 3 of them, so I'm docking a star for value. Service was very accommodating, with both the waitstaff and cook from behind the bar welcoming us upon arrival. Neither rushed us as we sat alongside the windows, clearly the last patrons in the place. The space is quite dark and cozy, and the warm ambiance perfect to close out a cold winter evening. read more
This place has real Sarrasin (buckwheat) crepe just like in France. So few places do so this was a nice surprise. Major points for this. The egg was perfectly runny and the ham delicious. Having had such a stellar experience with the savory I then ordered a dessert crepe of Nutella, as I usually do in France. Big disappointment with this one. The Nutella crepe barely had any Nutella, it was just sprinkled on top instead of the thick layer inside that it's supposed to have. The crepe was also too thin and dry. In short-savory is the way to go here, the sweet crepes still need some work. Oh and they have a changing table in the bathroom! Good to know they're baby friendly as it's a small space. read more

FYI: Cash Only So I've come here twice now and both times I've ordered the Banana Nutella Crepe. The first time it was good but the second time it was GREAT. I'm assuming since the first time we went all 6 of us ordered it and it wasn't made with the same love as my ONE was made. But overall it was great. It's nothing fancy or amazing about it, just a original, delicious, yummy crepe. We also tried the Eggs Nordic and it was great. The prices are definitely over priced, but if your a crepe lover, it's worth the savory-ness of the Nutella-Banana crepe. read more

Cute little joint in the neighborhood. We walked in for brunch on a sat Cus one of our friends really likes French food and decided to try this out with their great reviews. Food were real great and our waitresses were friendly and attentive. We had a great time here. We came hungry so for the 3 of us we got 5 dishes to share. I must rave about their beef hash. So fresh and not your typical one that u get anywhere else. All their crepe dishes seems very well made too. Thin and crispy just the way it should be. We got a savory ham and cheese one + a banana Nutella and whipped cream one as our dessert. No disappointment at all! So overall we got the following French Onion soup -must get! Super yum Croque Madame (the toast with butter and ham + cheese + egg) one of my fave French dish!! Main course we got The savory ham and cheese crepe (it was huge) Some lamb and chicken wrap dish (cool presentation) My fave the beef hash that came with greens. Yummmmmmy!! Only thing is..cash only guys! So come prepared read more
The food is undoubtedly not bad, but the attitude ...*sigh*. Let's begin. Food: it is undeniable that the food here is phenomenal. I had the French Toast brunch and the other people in my party ordered the beautiful corned beef with potatoes. Everything tasted great, but for $20 a pop, it's quite expensive. Our dessert, banana nutella crepe, was tiny, but quite tasty. The coffee was normal - I expected something much better to complement my $20 meal. Service: we walked in at around 11:07 a.m., and there was a Japanese-American customer who was seated at a table waiting for her other guest. Inexplicably, we were told that we had to wait outside before we could be seated. 2 out of 3 were present, though! The place was also empty except for that woman. After we were seated, another woman came in and asked for a table for four, but nobody from her party had shown up yet. This customer was told to be seated at one of the outdoor tables to wait for the rest of her party. I have a feeling that the serve discriminated against me for being a larger male. Hey, fat people matter, too! The server excelled in other areas, however - my coffee cup was constantly being refilled and I was never short on water. Decor: small space, not much to see here. "Cash only," in addition to the issues described above, makes this cafe too pretentious for me. I recommend Cafe Henri for a better experience. read more

This is one of my favorite brunch spots. It's a small and cozy French restaurant which serves some exceptional food. I highly recommend getting the French toast. It's the best I've ever had and it will change the way you think of the iconic dish. The crepes here are also exquisite. They are thin, crispy and full of flavor. read more
Cute Café Triskell had attracted my attention a few months back walking past after another meal. It went straight into my notes though, and a recent nearby event made it very convenient to go back and eat. The inviting yellow inside and out as well as French cottage decor make a very inviting place overall, but on this Sunday's mid-afternoon, loud bass was pumping from next door, making the audio of the place a bit disorienting. I could not help myself with the first item on the menu, immediately ordering up the French onion soup ($5.75). Grandma has set the bar impossibly high on this item, but the rendition here is far from disappointing, with crispy cheese oozing over and around the crock. The broth is spot on, and only made me sad to reach the bottom, picking and spooning tiny morsels until my bowl was finally removed from the table. In between courses I inquired about the origin of the triskell, a symbol used prominently in the signage of this place, and obviously its namesake. Mr. Fallait, the chef and owner didn't seem used to the question or was very busy, but alluded to the Celtic influences in the seas north of France and in Bretagne, the origin of the crêpe. I was lucky enough to be joined for this meal by five others and we sampled quite a variety of items, including the behemoth chicken, vegetables & goat cheese ($9.75), by far the largest crêpe of the day, and quite tasty in all its peppery goodness. The cheese was nothing out of the ordinary, but goat cheese never needs to be to satisfy. The second favorite was the button mushroom, Swiss cheese & herb butter crêpe ($7.95). The Swiss is in between the fold, while the mushrooms are loaded on top and full of flavor. The butter is quite subtle, but all the herbs bring together the rest of the tastes quite well. Also on offer are a set of three sandwiches, of which the croque-madame ($9.95) is the most awe-sinspiring. It's a basic ham & cheese sandwich served on delicious thick and fluffy bread and topped with an egg, making things interesting. The sandwich is tasty and satisfying, but sticking to the crêpes here is probably a better idea. We also ordered a lemon & sugar crêpe ($4.75) for a dessert to share and were treated to a butter & sugar ($4.50) on the house. The two thin and sweet crêpes made for the perfect ending to a thoroughly enjoyable meal. It was so comfortable inside that it almost made me sad to leave the quaint place, especially since the pounding bass from next door had subsided. read more

After a wonderful morning sipping some delicious latte at Cafe 1 of a Kind, my adventure took me to the other end of Queens for some awesome brunch. Cafe Triskell is located in Astoria on 36th ave, a few blocks off Broadway. If you are coming over during the weekend, get ready for some crazy traffic, especially on Broadway. Parking: Not too horrible, I was able to find a good amount of parking here Saturday afternoon on 36th ave, if 36th ave is packed, try the side streets like 33th street. Decor and Ambiance: First impression: walked in and was fascinated by the painting that's hung on the wall- you know the one with a giant flying pig with a Chinese rice bowl on its back. I don't know what to think of it but it makes me feel good and I giggled a bit! The restaurant is not very big (around 18 seats and 3 at the bar in front of the kitchen) BUT it is cozy homey and warm, perfect for the winter days! To be quite honest, I don't think I would ever find and walk into this place if it wasn't for Yelp. The entrance is small, you'll probably walk by it and never realize that this place is a restaurant. Our group of 6 came on a cold Saturday afternoon at around 1:30pm (yea, that's our brunch hour ha!), we were greeted by a very friendly server that told us that the wait will be around 15-20 mins but feel free to stay warm inside, so nice of her to do that since it was cold that day. We waited for like 10 minutes and got seated, our waitress was super nice and gave us some good suggestions. In the end we pretty much ordered 1 of each item from their brunch menu (except the Chicken & Lamb Bisteya) and of course their signature French onion soup with aged gruyere & swiss cheese. All food were tasty but our favorites are: FRENCH ONION SOUP WITH AGED GRUYERE & SWISS CHEESE- There's a reason why this was voted best onion soup in NYC Daily News 2013, it was delicious especially on a cold cold day. The cheese was perfectly melted and the soup was flavorful yet NOT SALTY (which is rare because french onion soup tends to be extremely salty for some reason but not here), the onion of course were soft and mushy just the way I like it. Just be careful with your first few bites or else you'll end up with a burnt tongue just like me. What a perfect way to start the meal! MUST TRY!! CROQUE MONSIEUR- Who knew ham egg and swiss could be so delicious and pretty to look at?? Ham and cheese sandwich topped with sunny side up egg, so simple yet delicious, I almost pass out watching that egg yolk slowly drip down only to be absorbed by that soft toast. I'm going to take a wild guess that the egg is farm fresh because you can taste the difference. Eating this is like taking a flavor and texture adventure- you get chewy ham and swiss and then a light crunch from the toast all follow by the milky, creamy egg and yolk... OMG JUST DELICIOUS!!! EAT IT WHILE ITS HOT!!! MUST TRY!! SKEWERED BRIOCHE FRENCH TOAST- It is not a completed brunch without some french toast at the party. and the french toast definitely hit the spot here! I LOVE FRENCH TOAST MADE WITH BRIOCHE!! People use all different types of bread (challah, sourdough, Hawaiian Sweet Bread) but to me, my favorite has to be from brioche, love how brioche soak up all the eggy goodness like a sponge. Our french toast took a little time to prepare but in the end, when we sank our mouth into it, it was all worth it.. slight crunch on the outside and moist soft eggy inside... perfectly executed, what's not to love about it? Don't forget to add the berry compote- it's money! MUST TRY!! Price: Good! Brunch items ranges from $10- $13 and include a choice of coffee, tea, or a soft drink. This is really a great deal consider the quality of food they serve! Overall: LOVE CAFE TRISKELL- Their brunch menu is superb!! their prices is great and their service is excellent! totally a hidden gem in the Astoria. I will surely return to try their lunch and dinner menu. Try to get there either early or later on in the day for their brunch to avoid the crowd (brunch ends at 5pm Saturday & Sunday) and bring an empty stomach as well as CASH!! (CASH ONLY!!!) read more

I come here frequently for brunch. The vibe is very cozy and relaxed. It truly feels like home. I usually order the eggs any style and French toast. The eggs are served with sausage, Maplewood bacon, house salad and toast. The dressing on the house salad contains just the right amount of balsamic flavor. The Speciality Homemade French toast is served on a skewer with a berry compote and maple syrup. The berry compote shines; its fruity, sweet, and just brings the whole dish together. The french toast also comes with a choice of a mimosa or a Kir Royale ( I always get the Kir Royale.) The excellent service and delicious food always keeps me coming back. This is definitely one of the best spots for brunch in Astoria. PS: cash only! read more
I could not write more highly of Cafe Triskell. From the absolutely affable, welcoming demeanor of the proprietor to the impeccably prepared French dishes, I am left yearning to come back as soon as possible. As everyone else has indicated, the French onion soup is simply divine, and alongside the escargot it makes you calm down, savor, and feel thankful to be human. The skewered French toast, with its golden, rich syrup and berry compote, thickly sliced and softened through and through, is the forbidden food of the gods. You almost feel unprivileged to be consuming such a wonder. The croque Monsieur/Madame is also hearty, happy meal unto itself. Please get out of my way when I return! read more
My friend wanted crepes, so we've decided to come here for dinner one night. This is indeed a very small cafe with about 5-6 tables. The decor was minimal in the dimmed light setting. I can already tell this is a local place because everyone seems to know the staff. The server was really friendly too. To start my friend and I ordered the french onion soup, which was really really good! The melted cheese and caramelized onion just really hit the spot! We've also shared the scallop and mushrooms, which was amazing! Gosh talking about this appetizer is making my mouth water! Then we also shared the mussels and french fries. The mussels were good, especially the broth that it was in. The fries were fried to perfection. After sampling on the appetizers, my friend and I can either eat an entree or a dessert only. So we've chose a sweet crepe instead of a savory one. My friend ordered the chocolate dulce leche crepe, which was not too sweet. As for me I've gotten the poached pear crepe, which was also done really well. The crepe was light, fluffy and crispy at the same time. When you are there, remember to check out their bathroom. It's quite interesting because it is plaster with menus from other French restaurants around the world. For example I saw a menu from French Laundry. I'm not sure why menus of other French venues were in their bathroom. To look at it in a negative way, they are saying "our food is the best and the other restaurants are like crap." Or in a positive attitude, they are saying "now that everything came out smoothly, you should plan where you want to eat next!" read more

This is my all-time favorite French restaurant in NYC and one of my top restaurants in the city overall. It's a cozy atmosphere where you feel like you're going to eat an an amazing chef's home in France. The food is always fresh and incredible. I love the cheeses and the French onion soup is incredible. The brunch is also amazing and so tasty. I had the eggs Florentine and also tasted the vegetarian Croque Monsieur and I already can't wait to return and eat them again lol. I also was eying the quiche and will have to return to try that as well. There's an extensive crepe selection too and they've all been stellar. read more

Beautiful food and phenomenal service. Apps: Escargot - the dish that lured us here to begin with; definitely did not disappoint! Pan seared foie gras with braised lettuce and blueberry compote - Orgasmic. Perfectly prepared, delicate and oh-so flavorful. This could be the last thing I ever eat! Entrees: Mussels - 2 whole pounds of awesomeness. Breast of Duck w/ orange veal demi glaze - my better half described it as "RIDICULOUS," which made our server laugh. Perfect sized portion for a 6'2" all American boy :) Dessert: We were completely stuffed and politely declined... However, minutes later our server placed a Butter and Sugar crepe in front of us. Oh my, is this an act of kindness or a challenge?! Either way, our taste buds were grateful. We will def come back to try the others!! As you can tell, we like to order a lot of food. Half of the time it's because we like to try everything, the other half of the time - its because we're afraid the portions will not be enough to fill our bottomless bellies (especially when fancy food is involved)... But I must say, we were completely satisfied and were not left wanting for anything (except maybe just another bite of the foie gras. OMG it was soooooooo good!!!) read more

On the search for crepes on Yelp, I found the number one place to be this hole in the wall spot not in Manhattan, but Astoria! One of my favorite neighborhoods for good food, casual bars, and down to earth Greeks. No doubt both the savory and sweet crepes here are delicious but it was just my luck that they also have the best french onion soup in NY! It will burn your tongue and melt your heart. They do not skim on the mussels appetizer either - a huge portion with fries that can be shared or eaten as an entree. Be prepared to wait though, I had a 45-minute wait and had to turn away the first time. When you do get seated, get comfy and bon appétit! read more

Saw the pictures of food on Yelp and was really looking forward to the taste. The French onion soup is worth trying, but the cheese on top is a lil over cooked. The beef hash is good, but I hope there could be some butter on the side. The service, uh, that's why I give a 3 star, you know it when you try it. read more

This place is amazing. Since our favorite French place got closed in nyc we had to find something to fulfill our taste buds needs, so since I am a proud yelper I found this gem in Astoria. From the outside it doesn't look like much, especially because it can't really seat more than about 20 people altogether, but it's worth the wait and it's worth the squeeze. The food is AMAZING, we love everything that chef makes. The crepes are to die for, the French toast is to die for, the croque Monsieur is amazing and they make some of the best Eggs Nordic I've ever tasted. I also have to mention their lattes, because they are absolutely delicious. And that is coming from a non coffee drinker. Definitely highly recommend this place, most likely you will be seeing is there when you go the only bad thing is that they don't open on mornings on the weekdays until 5pm. read more
