tiramisu
Rachel W.

Cute spot doing dinner service a few days a week. I came for dinner on Friday, the space is a bit tight, so be prepared to be close to the next table. The food is great, not the best ever, but very good and very well executed. Highly recommend getting the changing tiramisu flavor!

Chai latte
Madeleine B.

This is a great neighborhood cafe with an awesome menu. We both got the chickpea salad sandwich which is so good and I got a chai latte which was also stellar. There are so many baked goods that look tempting so I will have to come back for those!

Peach Cube
Raia S.

A few years ago, I got takeout from here and got the best French dip sandwich of my life. Turns out it was a special, and I've been missing it dearly ever since. I returned this weekend with a friend to try some of their other sandwiches and had a lovely meal. The staff are kind and accommodating and they have plenty of nice outdoor seating, it's a little more crowded inside. The toasted fennel ranch chicken cutlet was flavorful, crispy, and the bread was notably good. I liked the homemade ranch on there and the fennel flavor really came through. The peach cube was a yummy end to the meal, light not terribly sweet. We want to come back for dinner, apparently the nighttime desserts are epic!

Tuna Crudo

A cute neighborhood spot with delicious food and great wine -- the staff here is so kind! Standouts include Corn Ribs, Corn Agnolotti, Crispy Potatos and Corn Panna Cotta. I'll be back soon!

Have had the pleasure of dining at La Cantine a few times now and can definitely say I have never been disappointed by anything ordered. The menu changes constantly and you can find the latest menu on their Instagram stories which they update daily. As a rule of thumb, plan to get dessert. The dark chocolate tiramisu slice we were served was healthy in size, rich in flavor and perfect to split between the two of us. I tend to order 3 dishes (one protein and two side dishes) when coming in with a friend. The dishes are always a reminder of how simple ingredients can be combined to create fantastic flavors. As a note, the Chicken Cutlet was perfectly crisp and now I feel inclined to stop in for lunch and grab a sandwich. The wines are definitely selected by someone who has a preference for funky I almost want to say musky flavors. Never really found something there that I liked which is the only drawback to this place. Get a reservation, this place can be packed very quickly. It's also good for small groups, I've seen many a birthday dinner take place here.

Lemon olive oil cake
Gab G.

Came for lunch on a Saturday at 12:15 PM and it was packed. You order at the counter and seating is first-come, first-served. I tried the chicken cutlet sandwich, crispy potatoes and lemon olive oil cake. Everything was so good! Dinner / dinner desserts also look excellent (via their IG), so I would return for that as well.

Short rib
Austin S.

Oh my god, one of the best sandwiches to ever grace the earth. They have a crazy rotating menu full of inventive, but approachable sandwiches and treats. I got their short rib on sourdough. It was a messy concoction of savory flavors, and little sprinkles of acidity and sweetness. It was rich, and oozing with flavor. Their corner spot is super cozy and homey. Small, and ready for friends and family to gather alike. The workers are great. And they have some dang good pastries staring you down as well. When you dream of the perfect sandwich, you dream of la cantine

The earl grey pudding special was Great! The little crunchies on top - delectable. Olive oil cake was just OK to me, a tad dry...

A cheeky French name appears to be in vogue these days. While Le Dive and Le French Diner undersell the scope of their ambitions, La Cantine is arguably in fact a canteen - albeit a very good one. I tried the pesto egg cheese sandwich, which was the perfect snack after a bike ride on a sunny day. The scrambled eggs were perfectly soft, and no one's complaining about the generous layer of mayo on the brioche. It gets popping here, so be prepared to wait 45 minutes+ on a busy day.

Olives
Dillon G.

No one, and I mean literally no one is doing it like La Cantine/Sunsets at La Cantine. Bright, intentional, delicious, flavor-forward, and smart dishes. An incredible wine program, a quaint and cute inside, and an ever changing seasonal menu highlighting really fresh ingredients. I'm quite blown away. Make that reservation and go. I will and have been back so many times. Never change!!!

Chicken Cutlet Sandwich
Kirsten F.

I am extremely passionate about la Cantine thanks to their chicken cutlet sandwiches they are the absolute best. Fresh, thin, crispy. Love the specials menu but hate how fast they run out. Love the quality and ingenuity of the ingredients and recipes. Love the cut of the lettuce. Could the environment be more warm and welcoming? Absolutely. Does it matter? Absolutely not. I'm not coming for friendship, I'm coming for cutlets.

Chive biscuits special
Court R.

Great customer service small local spot. Ordered the special biscuit, egg with bacon, egg and cheese, lavender latte and hot chocolate. Food was amazing

Kate N.

This is one of my favorite places to get lunch. I love their iced lavender latte with whole milk. The lavender syrup is delicious and made in house, so that's probably what makes this place special. Any place that that's the time to make their own syrup is five stars in my book. They also have specials that change each week, so far haven't had a sandwich from the specials I didn't like. They always make them with a lot of different toppings and there's lots of variety when it comes to the sandwiches. I really love this place and highly recommend it if you are ever in Bushwick!

But if you don't drink, my partner had a fruity peach and mango puree mocktail that hit the spot in the summer weather. The tuna tartare is fresh with a garnish that complements the freshness well without being too overpowering. The main dishes: duck confit and steak frites were incredibly moist and flavorful. My partner and I were impressed with the flavor in the duck confit's mushrooms! Very savory. Fries are exactly how you want fries to be. The desserts felt a little lackluster in taste--the chocolate souffle and the San Sebastian cheesecake--but I will give props to the dollops of flavor with the cheesecake and that they are made in house. Had a great meal here! It was calm and not uptight, a great date spot when you don't want to stress out but enjoy a great meal.

Last night we came here, and although the service was friendly and welcoming, the food was definitely uninspired. We had a frisee salad which was sad, wilted and overdressed in red wine vinegar and bacon grease. It should've been bright and vibrant. Also troubling was that the poached egg was over hard - a quintessential aspect of the dish is the runny yolk, but instead it was just like an overcooked fried egg. Did the chef not notice this? Or did he/she not care? I had the duck which was not rendered properly. The skin should've been brown and crusty throughout but was instead inconsistent with that pale yellow hue of fat. Also, the meat was not properly sliced with pieces sticking together. The vegetables on the side were an afterthought, underdone and boring. Why not serve a solid mashed potato or cauliflower? A ratatouille? The food was not cheap and it was disappointing to eat a dinner clearly not made with love or passion.

We started with the mussels an got it with delicious baguette slices smothered in apple butter (you can also get fries instead of bread service, but I recommend the bread because you will want steak frites). The mussels were served in a Normandy style cream sauce, which I've never seen in NYC before, so I was very excited as I loved this dish when visiting Northern France. The bavette steak was cooked perfectly at medium rare, the fries were addictive, and the lumachi pasta hit. Profiteroles by the piece were the perfect sweet treat to end the meal. The service here is truly exceptional, all of the staff were extremely welcoming and accommodating to our party of three people with disabilities. Our waitress, an older woman, was so sweet and the quintessential mom making sure we didn't leave any food on our plates, lol. I also really loved the large backyard garden seating, with strong heat lamps to keep you toasty. This would be an easy 5 star review if the bathroom was actually wheelchair accessible, but unfortunately it falls short of ADA requirements. The toilet is super low to the ground, and I would have been able to manage if there were grab bars, but there were not so it was unusable for me though the space would have been big enough for my chair to just fit. ADA guidelines are not optional and not a secret, so I don't understand why it's so hard to just follow the directions published on the official ADA.gov site. Happy to upgrade my review when the accessibility of the bathroom is up to par, as otherwise, the restaurant is accessible and welcoming.
