Paris in the heart of Tribeca! I finally snagged a reservation at Frenchette, and it absolutely lived up to the hype--and its spot on the NYTimes Best 100 list. We went for the Restaurant Week menu and were seriously impressed. Yes, prices here are on the higher side, but the $60 per person weekly menu is a great value for the quality, execution, and overall experience. The place is exactly what you want from a Parisian bistro: buzzy, cozy, and effortlessly chic. The dim lighting, warm wood accents, and red leather banquettes make you feel like you've stepped into a classic French film. What we ordered: * Soupe de Poisson with saffron aïoli - rich, comforting, and deeply flavorful * Langue de Bœuf Sauce Piccante - tender beef tongue with cornichons that cut through the richness * Blanquette de Veau - beautifully braised veal with riz pilaf, classic and satisfying * Duck Haché à cheval with mushroom duxelles - indulgent and packed with umami * Chocolate Mousse - airy, decadent, and perfectly balanced * Île Flottante - a light, elegant finish with passion fruit caramel and coconut anglaise For drinks, I started with a Calvados highball, then we moved on to Le Pech Abusé, Vin de France 2021, which was excellent. Frenchette's extensive natural wine list is clearly one of its strengths. Service was warm and friendly overall, though a bit spotty at times--we did need to remind our server about the wine we had ordered, and the same was true for a side of frites. That said, the staff was gracious, and it didn't take away too much from an otherwise great experience. Housed in a beautiful 1915 building in the Tribeca West Historic District, Frenchette feels special from the moment you walk in. If you're looking for a true Parisian bistro experience without leaving Manhattan, this place is absolutely worth a visit. read more

There's a reason this place only has 3 stars on Yelp. I'll never take food recs from Reddit again. For the price and a 40-minute wait, you'd expect something good, but there was genuinely nothing special about the food. The pancake which the server told us we had to wait 30 minutes for, tasted like burnt cornbread. Service: bad read more

Food 4.5/5.0 Service 3.5/5.0 Value 2.5/5.0 Decor 4.0/5.0 Overall 4.0/5.0 Nice French spot with a tight menu. Food was pretty good, particularly the brouillade (definitely get that, and the baguette service). Prices are definitely high--this place is run for margin. Service was extremely friendly when it was present, but they don't check in on the table enough. In particular, I ended up gorging on a big pile of fries sans-ketchup (which honestly is fine, but it being so shockingly hard to flag someone down which at these prices is just no bueno). read more

I came to Frenchette and had their duck fries and I really loved it! Thinking about it, most times I try duck it's always been Chinese, so trying it with a French style was definitely something that I really enjoyed. The one thing though is that I did wish there was a bigger portion of duck read more

Went to Frenchette with a few friends on a Thursday evening. We had a reservation and sat at a cozy table. The drinks were sub-par and light for the price, but I loved the food. The Roast Chicken was super juicy and the Steak Frites were awesome. My biggest take away was how rude our waiter was. He "poo-pooed" our food order and didn't smile once. If the service was better, i'd probably give 5 stars....might just get the roast chicken to-go next time read more

Came here because it was my birthday girl's choice. I know she likes French food, but I honestly believe it's the mashed potatoes at this establishment that calls her name. Rightfully so. They were to die for. It was my first time visiting because I usually find French food too heavy and rich. Most of these dishes ( there were a lot) were fairly balanced and a few were even healthy. A few sad things and one that would cause me not to return. The soup was only lukewarm. My daughter loves that soup. Fish soup. I'll put the fancy name under the picture. Lol, she loves it but the entire table was disappointed with the temperature. The biggest faux pas ( see, I can be French!) was when you order 8 courses and the wine that you carefully chose with the sommelier comes out AFTER the first two courses. That is pretty unforgivable to me. That wine was not inexpensive. No restaurant is perfect all the time. I wanted this to be special since I flew all the way from Florida to be with her to commemorate the day my life changed forever. Watching her eat those mashed potatoes did make up for my disappointment. Some things will never change and I know it will remain a favorite of hers. Everything else was tasty. read more

Classic French fare in a classic setting... Not impressed with the food but the atmosphere was nice and service was great. Duck frites - duck was cooked nicely and the skin was crispy. Not seasoned a whole lot. I would easily take a Peking duck over this. Ratio of fries to duck was too high. No ketchup to dip the fries into. Half chicken - also cooked well, wish there was more sauce/jus. The mashed potatoes had a silky smooth texture. Charred carrots - bland, wish there was honey or just more seasoning on them. Labneh underneath was great but not enough. Do not recommend. Paris Brest - favorite bite of the night. Rich pistachio flavor and crispy/crunchy layers. Small though. Approx $80 after tax/tip. The food was just ok, not worth the steep prices. Service and ambience definitely stand out here more, though my gripe is some of the tables are way too close to each other. read more

Came here for the chase preferred $75 credit after spending $150. Bar seating was the only available reservation same day. Smoked trout beignets - fried crispy goodness with mushy insides that has a ham taste, definitely entertainment for the mouth. Soupe de poisson (fish soup) - rich but not too creamy, delicious! Duck frites - the duck is super tender and skin thin crispy. Fries were good. Tartare de beouf - first time trying beef tartare. Has a unique first-taste that tastes sweet like bubble gum...took some time getting used to. But I liked it more than I expected. Didn't read about the fries. read more

I have returned back at Frenchette! The atmosphere is lovely and buzzy with excitement and life! The staff are always knowledgeable and lovely with guests. We ordered bread, oysters, and crab beignets to share! We each got a cocktail and ordered a bottle of red. It was all right per the recommendation :/ I honestly didn't like my duck confit the second time lol ... very disappointed but my friend loved her tartare! We did not get the soufflé as it sounded premade so we get the pistachio donut thingy! We had three rounds of the dessert wine so definitely get a round of that over the dessert! We had a great time and that was all that matter :) read more

Service has gone downhill quite a bit since my last experience here. What was once a finely choreographed ballet is now a bumbling school show taught by an out of shape, failed cheerleader turned dance teacher (no one I know specifically...). The waiter was always so close, yet unavailable. My husband's food was tasty, though he noted it had odd choice of side pairings. I tried the chicken for the first time and now realize how overpriced it is. It was OK, moister and more flavorful than most white meat, but an uninspiring dish overall that I wrapped most of to give away. If it wasn't for the delicious mashed potatoes, I'd have likely needed to go get another dinner nearby. In my more critical state I also realized how insane it is that they charge $12 (?) for a cold hunk of bread. That's right, the bread isn't warmed up or sliced (I get it, "breaking bread" with those at your table, but I'm no longer impressed). The butter is tasty. Also, I was served a red wine that was refrigerated perhaps to keep it fresh (I know that's a thing for some reds) but it was rancid. Lastly, they allow people to keep screaming babies in the dining room. I couldn't wait to get out of there despite celebrating a birthday: we didn;t stay for desert and I didn't even get a buzz from the few sips of rancid wine I had before I returned it and got a coke. BTW, if i buy a coke because you serve me bad wine that I return 75% of the least you can do is give me a free coke. Not worth the money anymore. Au revoir Frenchette. read more

Shoutouts first go to the very friendly woman working as the maître d' was able to accommodate our group of six as the person who made our reservation goofed. If I was just judging this place on service, I'd be giving this place five stars. Also side note: They charge $9 for cappuccinos...oh (wasn't mine at least.) Restaurant Week 5/many. Anyway, I went to this very popular bistro very recently for Restaurant Week (which I will be shortening to RW from now on) which is $60 for dinner or $45 for lunch sans dessert. Outside of the woman in front, our waiter was also nice helping with orders as well as allergies among other things. We were cramped but that was all on the person who made the reservation and the inside had a nice cozy ambiance with somewhat dim lighting. I ordered a Gin with Calvados to drink for $20 which had plenty of said apple brandy and it was sweet with a slight bitterness at the end from the gin. It was tasty and mostly worth it because of the amount of alcohol. Before I begin the RW menu review, there were a few other dishes ordered off the a la carte menu. Someone ordered the Baguette for $12 from their bakery with beurre demi-sel. Outside of its absurd price point, it was pretty standard. It had a good crunch but I have preferred the flavor from many other spots with my personal favorite baguette in the city being from Le Fournil. If they're going to charge for bread, it has to be really good (see Four Horsemen among others) but this wasn't worth it. The Smoked Trout Beignets with "ranch'ette" for $16 were decent coming with five pieces. There was a bit of fishiness and smokiness from the trout though the texture wasn't very beignet like. For the rest of the dishes below, I'll be listing the price point on the menu outside of RW though the portions of course could be different but they seem similar. I started with the Soupe de Poisson listed as a fish soup with saffron aioli which is normally $23. I had asked the waiter to confirm that there wasn't squid in there (I doubted but made sure) and apparently it's made from crab, shrimp, fish, and some other things with there being I believe a toast point or something similar in the middle of the soup with something creamy on top which was nice to mix into said soup. The soup had a nice stock and plenty of fish flavor with some texture from the stock and was a highlight of the meal outside of one issue. Said problem was with adding crab as there is occasionally going to be some pieces of cartilage which has the same texture and consistency of plastic and I unfortunately got three pieces of it which was not a welcome surprise. Outside of that, this was fantastic. My main dish along with a few others was the Duck Confit with romano beans and frisée which is normally $34. The duck was very tender compared to most spots with perfectly rendered fat and the mix of greens was nice. It was however surprisingly salty for a duck confit and it could have used a bit more crunch. It was decent with some major faults with a good portion size. Another person had the Poulet Rôti with a roast chicken and pommes purée which I believe came with the same where a quart is normally $28 (from the lunch/midday menu) which they appeared to enjoy. In prior years, it seems the dessert choice was from the main menu and I was looking forward to having the Pistachio Paris-Brest but unfortunately they had a special menu for desserts. My choice was the Gateaux Aux Myrtilles (or blueberry cake) with honey cake and mascarpone glace. Said gateau had a nice texture and I appreciated that the dessert as a whole was not super sweet with there being a pleasant floral flavor. The blueberry flavor were fresh whether it was the sauce or the berries themselves and it was a pleasant light dessert. The other options were a daily Sorbet (cantaloupe and some other flavor) as well as a Chocolate Mousse with Crème fraîche Chantilly and cocoa nibs which someone else liked a lot. This wasn't my favorite French place I've been to nor even my favorite bistro I have had for RW (the pretty close by La Sirene beats this place by a mile for instance) but the food was overall good with some faults in most dishes. If the service was lackluster or the portion sizes weren't adequate, I would give this place a star or two less but that definitely wasn't the case here. Mid 3 rounded up for good so in other words, a very accurate Yelp rating overall. read more

Food: The food is quite delicious here! We tried the tarte tatin d'échalotes, pate de campagne, duck confit, and the country rib chop. Everything was delicious, but my favorites were the tarte tatin d'échalotes and the country rib chop. The tarte was packed with flavor; it was like a French onion soup in tarte form. The country rib chop was perfect - moist, tender, and so flavorful on a bed of sauce. I would highly recommend both of these dishes. The pate and duck confit were good but not as memorable. The pate is a coarse pate, and it might just be my personal preference for a smoother pate. Service: Service was excellent. Our server was very attentive and friendly. Someone kept coming around to refill our water throughout the meal. Our sever also came to check on us after our food was served to ask how it was. Ambiance: This is a very elegant French restaurant - simple and beautiful decor with dimmed lights in the evening. Seating is comfortable. They can accommodate both small and large groups. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Frenchette has been on my list to visit for a while. Finally had dinner here for nyc restaurant week. This classic French bistro is a must visit. Elegant restaurant, lively atmosphere, perfectly dim, and delicious French cuisine. The service was also top notch from start to finish. My friend and I shared everything. My favorites were the fish soup, the duck hache, and the passion fruit caramel. I also haven't had veal in a while and I also enjoyed this dish. I would definitely come back and try their steak frites and brunch menu. Great date spot for a romantic dinner or casual outing with friends. read more

The oysters with sausage and sourdough pancakes were the stars of the show here -- well-prepared, simple dishes with flawless execution. The duck hache was also good, but was more like a duck burger on mushrooms than a hash. Service was friendly if a bit stiff at times, and the insistence on not taking appetizer orders ahead of time was a little odd. The vibe at brunch was relaxed, and the table spacing is nowhere near as packed as it is elsewhere in the city. read more

Beautifully decorated Parisian bistro offering warm service and delectable dishes, perfect for a date night or a celebratory night out. Smoke trout beignets was a nice starter. Brouillade was recommended and paired well with the house made baguette. It was my first time trying this dish--the buttery creamy soft eggs with escargot did not disappoint but the star dish of the night was definitely the duck frites, which was perfectly prepared and seasoned. Cotriade Brettone was enjoyable as were the charred carrots, but not memorable. read more

A very popular and busy restaurant . We had a mixed experience . We ordered a baguette which was cold and would have loved a warm roll . Then came our salad order. This was superb! The best fresh and crispy lettuce salad we have ever eaten . Yes I'm getting excited over basic greens but this salad was phenomenal! Then came our entrees. The steak and frites were perfect. Skate was served sitting in oil and that's probably how it's supposed to be but it was too oily for me and I would have preferred 1/4 of the oil . Service was spotty . We will come back to try the duck frites read more

We dined at Frenchette during Restaurant Week, grabbing dinner before heading to a show. Sometimes French restaurants serve beautifully plated dishes with tiny portions that can be a little bland -- just my opinion. If you feel differently, write your own review. This place, however, had me hooked from the very beginning. I started with the Soupe de Poisson -- a fancy name for fish soup. Honestly, this may have been the best soup I've ever had: not overly creamy, perfectly balanced, and packed with flavor. I took my time savoring it, letting every sip hit all parts of my tongue to fully appreciate the profile. For the main course, I went with the Duck Confit. The skin was slightly crispy, while the meat was extremely moist and flavorful -- executed perfectly. Dessert was okay -- nothing to write home about, but nothing to complain about either. Verdict: Overall, I genuinely enjoyed the meal. Frenchette delivers flavor, execution, and a dining experience that lives up to its reputation. I eat, I judge. The fork stops with me -- your feelings aren't on the menu. read more

Came back for a quick dinner and ordered wayyyy less this time around. Started with the house bread, paired with the brouillade, followed by a steak frites and a duck frites. The duck frites was not on the printed menu however our server was kind enough to ask the kitchen if there was any duck prepped and available. Lo and behold, there was a duck breast available to be served with the delicious Mornay sauce. I had two glasses of a heavy red suggested by my server, which was great for leisurely sipping. I still left very full and with a to go bag with leftover frites. My first visit included a green salad, white asparagus, and everything else that I ordered during my second visit. Three dishes between two people seems to be the sweet spot. Love Frenchette, bravo again. read more

We also had the chocolate mousse which was light and airy and fabulous! read more

There needs to be more duck dishes around the city. We were so excited bc sometimes they don't have it. Frenchette is a super romantic & cozy spot (rly tight tables) with classic French dishes. Def a date night spot. If the duck is on the menu, it should be on your table. Prepared slightly red - very French of them Gets a bit gamey as it cools down. Perfect frites to dip into the béarnaise sauce. Tarte tatin is solid with good carmelized onion flavor and richness from the bone marrow. Kinda salty tho. I would pass on the fruit salad (probs a summer menu anyways) just bc it felt too simple for the price. Quartered peaches and tomatoes with bitter greens. BIG fan of the blueberry dessert. Served with SWEET CORN ice cream!!! ‍ You can tell they have a bakery bc the tarte dough is super flaky and yummy. So exciting. duck frites $58* tarte tatin $18 salade de pêches et tomates $31 tarte aux myrtilles $18* 내사랑 오리 저번에 갔을땐 메뉴에 없어서 아쉬웠는데 요번엔!!! 있었다구!!! 오리는 필수다. 레어로 나와서 따듯할땐 괜찮다가 식으면서 약간 잡내가 남. 감튀는 꿀맛. 특히 베어네이즈 소스에 찍어먹으면 굿이다. 베이커리도 같이 운영하는 곳이라 타르트류가 맛있고 샐러드는 가격대비 너무 흔한 맛이라서 비추. read more

We had an absolutely wonderful dinner at Frenchette last week. Everyone, including my 16 year old son, came away thoroughly impressed. It is hard to pick a single standout from the evening when the wine list provided ample options to pair with our food, the duck frites were excellent as always, and the staff kept our evening moving smoothly. The dining room is separated from the slightly noisier bar by heavy curtains, but in either place, you'll have no issues hearing each other and enjoying the meal. read more

Reilly and I went to Frenchette after touring an apartment on one of those hushed Tribeca blocks where the sconces are Apparatus, the drapes are Dedar, and the closets whisper "you've finally made it--sort of." It had storage so transcendent I briefly reconsidered my entire life trajectory: this was a big-girl apartment, the kind with a custom linen room and a wine fridge that implies you host instead of attend. Frenchette was the natural reward--still humming with that perfect Sunday energy of people who know their Burgundy and their postnups. The pancakes were absurdly silky, lemon-forward, vaguely aristocratic; the margaritas perfectly saline, the kind that make you text someone you swore you were completely done with. I wore my Totême trench and the new Celine loafers that say "old money, new therapist." Reilly said I looked like I "run an art fund," which, spiritually and tax-wise, I do. By round two--Last Words, because we're nothing if not literary--we'd merged tables with Chris and Lindsay: young, hot moms mid-Uppababy stroll, full Tribeca uniform down to matching diamond tennis necklaces and that effortless glow that costs roughly $40K in help. Both Ivy League, both married to Long Island guys who somehow, through timing, charisma, and vested carry, secured them three properties, private air travel, and Saturdays free with the babies while the husbands played golf at The Bridge. Reilly, emboldened by gin and sisterhood, decided to overshare: something about her "soft launch" with a portfolio manager who only texts during market hours, and my ongoing situation with a man who calls dinner reservations "capital allocations." The moms didn't flinch. Chris pulled out her phone like she was stress-testing a model and said, "Okay, but if he's sub-$2M liquid and under 35, that's a growth story, not yield. You need cash flow, honey." Lindsay nodded with the authority of someone whose children have trust funds: "And if he still rents in his thirties, you're underwriting potential, not property." They clinked glasses, dispensing the kind of benevolent, terrifying wisdom only women with live-in staff and haven't Venmo'd for a meal in a decade, dreams. Somewhere between the ordering a third round I probably didn't need and drooling over Lindsay using a Row Margeaux as a diaper bag, I had a moment of clarity--not a vision, just the dawning realization that I was receiving free financial advisory from women whose youngest child's wardrobe budget is more than my Forma habit. This was mentorship. This was Tribeca transferring generational knowledge over brunch, the way it's been done since the neighborhood got its first Whole Foods. Frenchette: 4.8/5 for daylight drinking, pancakes with conviction, and unsolicited counsel that should qualify as continuing education credit. Tribeca: still undefeated in casual all day brunch and strategic marriages. Me: long brunch, long Reilly--though I did search "Nvidia executives under 40, single, Manhattan" on the walk home. Just rebalancing the portfolio toward better-performing assets. read more

First time here! Really quaint restaurant! I was worried with some of the reviews mentioning it was too cramped but luckily I stopped in at 11am on Sunday and we were the first customers to walk in. From the moment we entered, the staff was very friendly and kind. We were celebrating an anniversary and the staff made sure to congratulate us, and served us some bubbly to celebrate. There was also some nice jazzy music in the background, with just the right volume to not interrupt our conversations. We ordered some oysters which were super fresh! and also the mergez, which was rich in flavor and texture. It was served over a flavorful bed of sliced onions and peppers stewed to perfection. After that, we decided to try their carrots and escargot. I have to say, I've never been served escargot in such a unique way! It is served with a bed of scrambled soft cooked eggs that are delightful! velvety, buttery, and rich! I could have a whole plate of that alone! Although I may end up with high cholesterol if I did The one thing I wasn't a huge fan of were the carrots, I was really excited about them since I am a big fan of labneh, but I felt I lacked some flavor on this last dish (albeit, all other dishes were super rich, so it may have been poor timing on my part). Overall, highly recommend this place! read more

Absolutely the best food I've eaten in my lifetime, 66 yrs young. The ingredients just tasted better. The food was still good, I went there 3 nights in a row on a seven night stay in Tribeca. Everything was so well thought out and completely delicious. The bartenders were attentive, extremely knowledgeable, excellent servers and made me the most incredible after dinner drink with espresso and liquor. Very cozy too! No TV's! Extremely comfortable.

We ordered frites and gnocchi as sides. Too much food , but delicious!! Magnifique!!!! read more

The clearest sign of an overheated economy? $12 for bread and baguette to start the meal (even if the baguette was baked next door with a lovely crunch). My omelette was a well executed French omelette with a nice degree of fluffiness, although I prefer the sharper cheeses that Balthazar employs. Zero qualms about the fries. Probably would skip the charred carrots with yogurt next time - I think they could have been a bit more gutsy in their charring to bring out the sweetness. read more

Highlights 1. Great Food 2. Friendly Service 3. Cozy Atmosphere Visited on a Saturday night recently and had a great time! We had made a reservation online about 3 weeks in advance and it was for sure needed, the restaurant was completely full. The space is warm and cozy but not cramped. We were seated immediately. Our service was friendly and well-paced throughout our meal. I had the cassoulet which was piping hot and bursting with flavor. My husband had the steak frites which he really enjoyed! Everything on the dessert menu sounded amazing but we ultimately landed on a delicious chocolate and caramel dessert. It was amazing! We both agreed this was our favorite meal we had during our NYC trip. I would highly recommend! read more

I so looked forward to this but......it was disappointing. For lunch you cannot get steak au poivre for dinner you can but not lunch. They have expensive steak frites for lunch but no sauce. Also I ordered a frisee salad. However, the salad had almost no frisee. It had some other kind of green but frisee is the point of frisee salad. The red wine by the glass was good. I will keep looking for steak au poivre and frites at a French restaurant. There are many yet to try. read more

I used to love this place, but after today I won't be coming back. The customer service was genuinely shocking. One server repeatedly mixed up our orders and placed the coffees down so abruptly it felt like she was throwing them onto the table. Then another server came over to clarify the order and addressed me directly. When I tried to explain that it was actually my friend who ordered, he cut me off with a sharp, aggressive "No, I'm talking to you." The entire table went silent -- it was that rude and unexpected. We still left a 10% tip, but honestly, the experience didn't deserve even that. Completely unacceptable anywhere, but especially at Frenchette given the price point. read more

Friday 2:45pm I enjoy holidays ( winter and summer) as nyc can get quieter as people visit their families or are on holiday in the Hamptons, etc . More importantly, restaurants that are difficult to get into now have availability. I met up with a friend who lives in Downtown for a Christmas lunch catchup and decided to sit at the bar. Because it was a late lunch , table service was winding down and the place started clearing out . We got o spend a nice semi quiet lunch consisted of anchovies linguini ( the pasta was cooked to perfection and the sauce was delicious), duck and french fries . I don't like overeating , with the bartenders recommendation , we didn't over order. Great restaurant with good service . We were assisted by the somm to choose a very reasonably priced bottle. I'm sure the desserts would have been amazing ( french desserts are the best ). Another reason to come in the near future . read more
