This place was honestly amazing. Super cozy, warm and just very relaxing. Loved it for my date night and will definitely be coming back. The service was amazing the waitress and just people that helped out were very nice and great energy. Now for the food....... MAN OH MAN it was incredible it came out with perfect timing, it tasted super fresh and just great. Everything was perfect i normally could have at least one thing to say but there is nothing for this place. Definitely worth the money and time. Everyone should at least eat here once read more

Check out Le Crocodile if you are looking for a nice place to have breakfast in Brooklyn! Located in Williamsburg, this French brasserie has lots to offer from their breakfast menu. We ordered: - Eggs Benedict - Lemon Curd French toast - Almond croissant I enjoyed the French toast the most; the lemon curd had a good amount of sweetness and I liked the texture of the toast itself. The almond croissant was also nice as it had a good almond paste in the middle. The ambience is also really nice and had lots of natural lighting at 8am. read more

We came here dinner on a Friday. The restaurant is spacious. We were seated at a round wooden table. - mushroom pate. It was mixed with several types of mushrooms. The texture was creamy without being too heavy. - duck breast with beets and wine reduction. This was delicious and one of my favorites of the night - escargot: I thought the garnish was too strong and it destroyed the escargot taste. It was also a bit too sour - scallops. Cute in that they were served on the shell. Taste wise, no frills - profiterole. They weren't good. The shell was soggy read more

A rocky start went up exponentially with a table and server change. Tristan is wonderful! We arrived and the table of 10 next to us was screaming. Literally yelling. We asked to move and the restaurant kindly did so. We appreciated this . We did not appreciate the female server from the original table (we had only ordered drinks) patronizingly coming over and saying the other table was celebrating. We had not asked that they be quiet. We asked to move so we could enjoy our evening. And we have 2 family members who are hearing challenged. So unseen challenges are "less than" screaming celebrating? She can save the condescension. I diagnose parentified eldest who needs to belittle. I digress. But things look up with the wonderful server Tristan at our new alcove table and the outstanding food. We are grateful for being moved and for the welcoming, professional and warm service of Tristan. He made our evening. read more

Le Crocodile is amazing! The seafood sausage is so unique and delicious. The steak frites is high quality, especially for the price point, and the drinks are perfection. This is a go to for me in Brooklyn as you are always guaranteed a great meal here. The restaurant itself is a neat vibe and very well done. Absolutely recommend if you're looking for a 10/10 meal read more

I love me some eggs for brunch with salmon and hollandaise sauce! I was happy to see that option on their limited menu, but upset when I got them. It was way salty. The salmon had more salt than the sauce. Our server was great, always on top of it and making sure we were taken care of. The food was overpriced in my opinion. It was busy and being inside a hotel even more so. The employees were all fantastic and my drink was good. It had enough of a punch for a Bellini and helped offset the saltiness of my food. read more

When I tell you that I've been thinking about this French toast since I first tasted it...believe me!! It's sooo delicious! It's fresh, light & the lemon curd is the perfect addition in place of the regular syrup. Secondly, the chicken!!!!! Holy moist! The chicken is the most delicious, falls right off the bone & the au jus is amazing to dip the fried & chicken in. Service was incredible and the aesthetic inside is the perfect! Highlyyyy recommend. read more

Decent French spot, though I'd say I still prefer Boucherie, Buvette, Balthazar, etc. A friend and I easily made a reservation for a weeknight and shared: + Jonah crab with avocado and yuzu kosho - great + Mushroom paté - great + Frisée salad - decent, little overdressed + Roast chicken with herb jus and frites - the chicken didn't live up to the hype, though the fries ruled + Lemon tart - this was my favorite thing that we ate + Apple tart tatin - great read more

We had an incredible dinner at Le Crocodile. For starters, we ordered the Frisee Salad, Artichokes and Country Pate, all of which were perfectly prepared. I ordered the Steak Frites and I've been thinking about it ever since. The fries were so crispy, the steak done medium rare with a rich gravy that I sopped up with the fries. My date ordered the Duck Breast and it was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. For dessert, the Sticky Banana Date Pudding blew our minds. The service was stellar and the atmosphere lively. I can't wait to go back. Reservations recommended. read more

This review is for a la carte items during lunch! We stumbled upon this walking around during lunch time and was glad this discovery worked out! Everything we got is a must order! My only note is that the service was a bit on the slower side- our food took 20-30 mins to come out (it came out all at once). Not a quick stop! For wine, we got the Chenin Blanc -- Domaine de La Renière is a wine you can drink by itself! The waiter let me try it out before committing and we ended up getting another glass afterwards! ‍ Mushroom pâte-- I've never had a mushroom one before. Highly recommend if you are a fan of truffle! There are actually slices of truffle underneath the raw mushroom. This pâte looks small, but it's dense. Paired with the bread given, it packs a punch! Roasted Chicken with ALL the #frites -- these fries are just plain good! Skinny and crunchy. The roasted chicken wasn't dried out- perfectly juicy. There were parts that were more on the dry side, but there's a lot of oil/sauce at the bottom of the plate you can dunk it into. read more

We came here for a weekend brunch, and the vibes were nice. The food was decent, my favorite was actually the croissant over the mains. The french toast was a tad too sweet, and I wish they had a different bread for the croque madame but the fries were good. Service was attentive. Overall would come back! read more

3.5 for me. Really was excited for some early dinner French food on this cold winters night and sadly it was just.... Ok. But before the food... The ambiance and decor of this spot was great. Staff was really warm and attentive from the host to our server to the bussing staff. I loved that our server really knew the menu well and when asked about a certain dish she was able to give a thoughtful confident response about it. We really wanted to love the food. Ordered both the mushroom patè and the country patè. I'm all for warm crusty bread but holy hell the sourdough bread they gave with these appetizers was wayyy too hard on the exterior and did not have enough soft middle to enjoy spreading either of the patè on. Mushroom patè was the clear winner here, reminded me of a luscious foie gras even. The country patè had a great presentation but lacked in seasoning. The steak tartare again was presented really nicely but waaay too much citrus in the dish that you couldn't even taste the raw beef in it. Sadly the next 2 dishes had just too much going on. Ordered the steelhead trout, be forwarned this is not your usually brook trout, the coloring of the meat looks like salmon but it is definitely a trout! The fish itself was beautifully prepared, delightfully pan seared crispy skin and the flesh was not overcooked and seasoned just so.. But the accompanying celery root and Marcona almonds just didn't meld well. Though the celery root was cut into tiny cubes, it has a very strong flavor that overpowered the entire dish. Who doesn't love anything in brown butter?! The Halibut in brown butter was something I was so looking forward to because one other French restaurant in LIC that did this preparation but with skate stopped doing it so I was excited to see this on the menu. Fish and smoking small white radishes were cooked perfectly! But the sauce... The brown butter just unctuous and silky on your palate but sadly all that amazingness was abruptly disrupted by a very bitter mouth puckering citrus flavor. It just threw the whole dish off for me. Someone in the kitchen is citrus happy here and sometimes a good thing can be too much of a good thing. Maybe use a sweater citrus next time on this? The star of this dinner was the banana date pudding in caramel sauce, Hands down! We may be back if they do have a seasonal menu to see if we were maybe there on an off night. read more

Breakfast - both dishes were good! Atmosphere was relaxing as well. Dinner - while the steak was not good the night that I was there (couldn't eat/finish), the service was amazing and the server noticed that it was not up to par. They took care of it and because of the service, will be back. read more

Wanted to try out somewhere new when I was in New York and I had seen Le Crocodile on Instagram a few times as a must hit spot for French onion soup. The menu looked amazing and I loved the Hors d'oeuvres section (was avail at dinner and at the table not just bar) to be able to dry a few small items. Service was fantastic, waitress was attentive and had a good description of the dishes so I could pick which sounded most appetizing to me. The French onion soup shockling was not my favorite I've ever had, but the scallop and lobster stuffed sausage was amazing!! Definitely will come back next time I'm in NY to try more. Oh - do not skip dessert! read more

This is the first time I've visited Le Crocodile and it was a great experience. It's located in a hotel in Williamsburg and the aesthetics and ambiance was so nice and pretty. I'm glad that it didn't get super packed and crowded during brunch because I know a lot of places get like that on weekends. I had a great waiter; he was so friendly and was very knowledgable on the menu. I had to start off with a mimosa as it is brunch after all. It's the first time I've seen a mimosa that is just champagne with an orange peel on top. It was so refreshing and not overly sweet! For appetizers, I would recommend the fries and Jonah crab. Fries were perfectly crispy and salty. The chips topped with the crab meat and yuzu and avocado in the Jonah Crab dish was so fresh; it was the perfect combo. I was feeling a sweet meal so I got the french toast. It was so fluffy! I did think it was really sweet because of the syrup. I would ask to put it on the side next time so I can control how much I can drizzle on top. My boyfriend had the steak frites and the steak was actually cooked to what we asked for. And of course, the fries were the same as the appetizers; delicious. Le Crocodile is definitely a spot I would return to. read more

With so many new developments in @nyc one can be a resident for more than half a century and still be a tourist. Take for example the neighborhood of #williamsburg #brooklyn @lecrocodilebk is a French restaurant inside the @wythehotel Different menus depending on when during the day you visit. We've tried five different drinks and they were all great. We were not so hungry so we only tried the escargot, the Skate wings, and the trout. All very good. Would definitely return to try the rest of the menu. And the interior design and decor is just so.....French! read more

came to visit NY and my friends told me that they're taking me to their favorite place. My friend raves about this chicken and she wasn't lying! Everything was so yummy. The fish was soooooo good!

What an amazing Birthday brunch! I had some oysters that were delicious, cleaned perfectly, served with a French onion vinaigrette. The peach Bellini was like biting into a fresh peach!, so yummy. I decided to try the French toast after the server suggested it would be a splendidly sweet treat. Needless to say I was not disappointed. It was like a warm bread pudding. Toasty, creamy slice of French toast with obvious hints of fresh lemon and vanilla. The service was amazing from the concierge to the table service. I will definitely return to try the quiche. The place is gorgeous, it's a semi outdoor garden with rustic decor ..Très Chic! read more

Loved the vibe here. French cuisine is never my first choice of cuisine, but I'm in NY so why not. Came in for lunch and ordered 3 things to share with a friend. Their portions were huge! I was stuffed for the longest time, in a good way. Steak tartare, so yummy! Loved the taste and crispy bread it came with. Definitely opened my stomach for more foods to come. Country Pate with foie gras, huge piece! I also love that they came with a raisin? compote and mini pickles. Made it less heavy. Wasn't really a spread which was fine, almost hard as meat but thickkk. Roast Chicken, their herb jus was sooo good. Frites were too perfection as well. Breast was a bit dry, but the flavor was definitely there. The waiter felt kind of distant, is that a common thing? Not sure. read more

4.3/5 Fantastic dinner at Le Crocodile, as expected. Came in for date night an the two of us ordered the Jonah Crab, Mushroom pate, Frisee salad with eel and the duck. The waitress made a mistake with the order and we ended up getting the country pate on the house as well. The food was phenomenal. The duck was our favorite with mushroom pate as a close second for me and the eel salad for my date. We sat at the bar since we couldn't get reservations on time so we called and was able to book the bar. The staff was super friendly, with the waitress was just so lovely. Really just a lovely date night. read more

I have been to Le Crocodile a number of times, both with small groups and for larger dinners with the prix fixe. I most recently went there a few days ago for a birthday party. The restaurant is in the Wythe Hotel, is dimly lit, with a lot of seating. The restaurant is able to accommodate larger groups pretty easily, so it's a go-to for me in instances like that. Service here is good, no major issues. The managers are very attentive here. I have tried the following dishes (blanket statement that most all of the dishes are quite rich): Jonah Crab with Avocado and Yuzu Kosho (4.5/5): Really good crab dish that comes with a cracker to accompany. I really enjoyed this dish, definitely a must order if you like seafood. Smoked Trout Rillette with Flax Seed Cracker (4.5/5): Another dip type dish. I love fish dips, and this one is great. The crackers accompany it well. Leeks with Vinaigrette and Hazelnuts (3/5): This dish was not my taste, but was fine. The vinaigrette paired well with the leeks. Mushroom Pate with Black Truffle (5/5): A favorite of the table. The pate is super rich and comes with the house bread. This dish was really good, I would absolutely recommend. Frisee Salad with Poached Egg and Smoked Eel (3.5/5): Pretty good salad, ample serving. I love frisee salads, but I found the eel to be just okay. Escargot with Parsley, Pernod, and Fennel (4/5): An interesting, good take on escargot. They are out of shell and come with a number of accompaniments. This rendition is less butter forward than others I've had in the past, and I really liked it. Trumpet Mushroom with Grains and Pistachio Dukkah (4.5/5): I really like this mushroom dish. It was rich and savory, and the mushrooms went nicely with the grains. Trout "Almondine" with String Beans and Marconas (4/5): Trout atop a bed of string beans. The skin was crispy and tasty, and the trout was a cooked really nicely. Roast Chicken with Herb Jus and Frites (4/5): A nice, standard French-style chicken dish. The chicken was moist, with a nice crispy skin. Sticky Banana Date Pudding (4.5/5): I don't love desserts, but this one is very good -- although incredibly sweet. It was also a table favorite. Profiteroles (3/5): These were okay. The choux pastry was a little stale, but the chocolate sauce and the ice cream were really good. Tarte au Citron (5/5): I loved this tart. The crust was buttery and a great texture, and the tart was wonderfully citrusy. Sorbet (5/5): Really tasty sorbets. I really like Le Crocodile and would highly recommend it. A la carte is great, and the family style prix fixe is also pretty worth it. read more

Nestled in the heart of Williamsburg, Le Crocodile is a charming French restaurant has impeccable cuisine and intimate ambiance. From the moment you step inside, the warm, dimly lit interior sets the stage for a delightful culinary experience. Ambiance (5/5): Le Parfait exudes an understated sophistication that captures the essence of French dining. The intimate seating arrangements create an atmosphere conducive to both dinner dates and catch up dinners. Service (5/5): The attentive and knowledgeable staff at Le Parfait contribute to the overall positive dining experience. A noteworthy point of praise is their exceptional responsiveness to dietary restrictions, ensuring a seamless celebration. Our water cups never went empty and they treated a gluten allergy phenomenally. Rice crackers were brought out in addition to the sourdough at the start of the meal and for the steak tartare, a rice/quinoa/flax cracker was subbed without being asked. Food (5/5): The frisée with eel is an absolute must-order and stands out as a culinary masterpiece. The delicate interplay of textures and flavors makes it a delightful precursor to the main courses. For our mains--duck confit, steak, and chicken--the culinary artistry shines. Each dish is a symphony of flavors, showcasing the chef's commitment to traditional French techniques. Notably, the fries are a hidden gem, a perfect balance of crispiness and tenderness, surpassing the ordinary. Gluten-Free Friendly (5/5): Le Parfait stands out as exceptionally gluten-free friendly, with a dedicated menu and an unwavering commitment to accommodating dietary needs without compromising on flavor. Almost all of their deserts are gluten friendly including the Banana Date Caramel Bread Pudding which is a must order. read more

Le crocodile should be your next date night destination. Their French-inspired menu is certainly heavy on the fish and seafood, but I still had a great meal as a vegetarian.

As well as desserts - don't skip the profiteroles ;) read more

I actually like this place a lot. Food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Portion was very good that we didn't have room for dessert lol. Duck breast was executed well that even beat Le coucou's. Its skin was encrusted with spices and crispy while the meat was tender and cooked medium. Not to mention its delicious beet sauce that perfectly complimented the duck. I also like how open the restaurant is. Service was not Michelin level but it's decent. read more

Anniversary dinner in August. Loved the set up. We sat in the inner open courtyard which was gorgeous with the lights, music and balmy summer breeze coming through. There was also sidewalk seating but the courtyard was a better option, at the time and for the occasion. I was very excited to see they had a special section on the menu for a variety of gin and tonic cocktails! Unfortunately, I couldn't have any more but it stood out and I've remembered that for next time. We ordered wine with our meal with 1/2 dozen oysters to start, very fresh and delicious. And the Mushroom Pâté with Chantarelles. For mains, we got the Skate frites au poivre and the Coppa Steak of Pork with Savoy Cabbage and Chanterelles -- both good. I was too full to order dessert but the menu looks amazing. Will need to try the Roast Chicken and creme brûlée next time! read more

Arrived for Sunday brunch with reservations for 8. We were seated immediately. Our server couldn't be more efficient. Food came out hot. Drinks were everything! Well crafted. The French toast was out. of. this. world!!! It's a small portion and pretty rich. My eggs Florentine was delicious. Spinach wasn't overdone, so good. I wasn't asked how I wanted the eggs, they came out medium which was fine. The croque monsieur was hearty and yummy. The almond croissant, I had two of them!!! Wasn't sweet, just perfect crunch to it. Sticky banana pudding dessert looked like a meatball inside and unfortunately I wished it tasted like one bc it didn't meet our pudding expectations. lol Sound level was moderate so kid noise will be overshadowed. Lots of employees around who were super helpful. Missed the restrooms but heard they were clean and nice. Restaurant is part of the wythe hotel. Enjoy! read more

I'm not a big fan of French food in general but boy do I love this place! I went a few months ago and I still think about that dinner. Everything was just perfect...service, ambience, and the food, omg every single thing we had was amazing.. every single one. The crab with avocado appetizer was incredible. Best crab appetizer I've ever had in my life. The duck was great. I was just at Le CouCou recently and the duck at Le Crocodile was so much better! The steak au poivre was also amazing. And even the dessert, profiteroles, was so delightful. I had an amazing time at this place. It's the best French restaurant I've ever been to. Highly recommend! read more

A hidden gem in Brooklyn? The word is out. Le Crocodile delivers on all of my review pillars: 1- Service was excellent from the hostess greetings to the well wishes from staff on the way out. Our waiter John C was courteous, professional and very helpful in planning and enjoying our evening, from drinks all the way to dessert. 2- The ambiance was cozy and sophisticated with thoughtful lighting to match. The table and chairs were comfortable and the place features some very cozy and plush benches for other table arrangements. 3- TTE or time to eating, based on time elapsed from the order to delivering our plates, was short, considering the place appeared about 70% full. 4- The food quality was excellent, with everyone at the table enjoying the delicious French menu. There were no returns or surprises about our food not being cooked properly. Desserts were decidedly decadent and entrees spectacularly delicious and filling. 5- Pricing was adequate for the quality of food. I found it cheaper than a swanky French joint in Manhattan-many of which I frequent often. Apps, dinner and dessert with drinks and tip for 3, ran about $550. Lots more value compared to Boulud or Robuchon. Le Crocodile didn't disappoint and has officially made my definitive Brooklyn Eats gold list with this 5 star review. I am already planning my return, and I'd like John to work with us again! Make this an experience by bowling across the street then ending at Le Crocodile for a delicious experience. read more

This place is beautiful. The garden terrace is lovely. Nice comfortable seating area. Heated lamps and they even give you cozy blankets if you're feeling a little chilly!! Our server Connor was great. Helped us with our choices from the menu and was very pleasant. Our first drinks were the mimosas. Very greatly made. Very little OJ. And had a slice of orange wedge inside. Then we went for the very dangerous cosmopolitan which was just that!! Very strong but delicious For our starters we tried the onion soup which I ended up eating all by myself because my friends don't eat meat and the onion soup came with bacon in it!!! OMG it was absolutely delightful. I tore it down to the very last drop! We also tried the pressed pighead terrine. That I didn't really care for. Didn't like the texture or the taste. Connor kindly took care of that for us. The muscles were heavenly I would definitely have them again and again. The aioli that was accompanied with them went really well!! The Jonah crab with , another stand out dish!! So freaking amazing on the palette. My niece had the salmon burger which was yummy. My other niece had the squash which was also tasty. I had the duck leg which just melted in my mouth!! Everything was enjoyable and we left satisfied and our pockets very light. Lunch was pricey but totally worth every single penny. Nice to splurge every once in awhile. Had a great time. Beautiful ambiance and great service. Dessert was also delectable. Chocolate cake and creme brûlée for the win!! You would not be disappointed. read more

French cuisine at its finest! It was my sister in law's birthday and came here for Sunday brunch. We had a reservation and were seated promptly;even started us all out with champagne for the occasion. We were very impressed and it was such a nice touch! Our party all ordered the almond croissant and the maple cruller. The almond croissant was pretty large and the maple cruller had just a bit of sweetness with a touch of salt. Loved them both We all ordered the infamous chicken and the monsieur croque. The chicken was super juicy bursting with flavor and the sandwich was really good too. They both came with tasty shoestring fries. We ended the evening with cream brûlée and americanos and can't wait to make another reservation in the near future. read more

My second visit to Le Crocodile did not disappoint. First I had a late dinner in July 2022. The French onion soup and the duck. It was good but not too memorable tbh. Today I had an exquisite, extraordinary lunch celebrating my friend's birthday. We decided to come here for oysters and shrimp cocktail. Both were delicious. We tried the scallops with ginger parsley and Meyer lemon and it was good; like a ceviche. The escargot was buttery and fresh.
