Real gourmet breakfast/lunch place with quality ingredients. It's back to basics that work so well. Amazing service, great ambiance. About the only thing I'd skip is their coffee drinks. Stick to Americano. They have a good coffee machine, but no barrista to run it properly. You can get your lattes elsewhere. Rest was all amazing.

My husband and I stumbled upon Maison Provence last night and loved it!! Walking in, the vibe was super cozy and cute without feeling overly stuffy like some other French restaurants feel. Staff were very warm and welcoming too!! We sat at our table and looked at the menu, which was so tricky to pick our bites because everything looked so good! We ended up getting the pate and the onion soup as appetizers. Both were among the best we've ever had! Entree-wise, we shared the snail fettuccine (which sounds like a new menu addition) and the potato/cheese/Bacon crepe. Absolutely delicious, made with high quality ingredients and generous portions. Drink selection was solid too, and reasonably priced. All in all we really enjoyed our date night here and are already excited to come back and try more of their yummy bites!

Got a table out in the sun this time! This time I went for date night, so we had a much heartier meal. I really enjoyed their take on the crepe and the pasta - I'll be back again! Slowly becoming one of my neighborhood faves.

Really sweet place in Williamsburg, came here for Sunday dinner and we were able to sit outside under the umbrellas even though it was drizzling. The servers were very kind and helpful with recommendations. The zucchini "beignets" were delicious, more of a fluffy zucchini pancake but with a yummy dipping sauce. The classic socca was delicious and unique, a chickpea flour crepe, a great gluten free option. Wish there was a sauce with that one too! The salmon I tried a bite of was my favorite dish (crispy skin and tasty sauce and ratatouille), but the duck and mushroom fettuccine was quite good, the fat on the duck could have been rendered and crisped a tad. The ambience here is so lovely and quiet and it was a great meal, I'd return for a classic crepe!

I literally did a happy dance after having the best crêpes of my life, plus all the brunch items are only under $20! I've been craving french galettes and sweet crêpe, but finding something both authentic and affordable in NYC isn't easy...until I found this cozy french restaurant in Williamsburg. Chef Lolo is the most passionate and friendly owner I've met. He puts thought into every detail, bringing the true taste of Southern France, using only top-quality ingredients, and genuinely caring about his customers' feedback. No surprise that they have a flawless 5-star rating on Google and Yelp! ＊Onion Soup $11 I was told this is a crowd favorite, and it instantly stole my heart. The onion soup may have looked modest, but the savory richness of swiss cheese, caramelized onions, and the baguette all came together beautifully. ＊Crepe Normandie $18 Instead of using wheat flour, they opted for buckwheat flour as it was more nutritious and gluten-free. It was generously topped with a creamy chicken, mushroom, and cheese filling, enhanced by a touch of white wine. I loved the crispy edges of the crêpe. ＊Croque Raclette $19 We enjoyed this rich sandwich, especially the oozy swiss and raclette cheese, the savory prosciutto, tangy pickles, and a runny egg yolk on top. ＊Strawberry Banana Flamee $11 Absolutely amazed from the first bite. The orange liqueur (Cointreau) added an exquisite note that elevated the flavor. Chef Lolo even came out to proudly show the premium Cointreau. Unlike many places, he insisted on using top quality liqueur-the secret behind why it tasted like something straight out of a high-end french bistro. The caramelized banana added sweetness to the flambéed crêpe, served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I need to come back for every sweet crêpe they offer!

This southern French spot has changed my perspective on French cuisine! I used to think that French cuisine was plain and boring. Chef Lolo has shown me that French food is the opposite... with a glass of rose and one of the French boards... you're in heaven. Not to mean, the French street food staple, socca. My goodness. I'm obsessed with socca! I'm quite impressed with the Provençal and charcuterie boards. The Provençal board features zucchini on a fried beignet and I love zucchini. The charcuterie board had smoked duck breast, which I have never had on a charcuterie board and won me over. I always want smoked duck breast on a charcuterie board now. I had no idea that French food meant pasta. I personally love the smoked salmon fettuccini as well as the chicken lemon sausage penne (that one is my all time fav). I also LOVE the savory crepes here. The crepe poulette has mussels and shrimps in it -- such a dream!!!!! I can't find the pic I took of it but it's gorgeous and tasty. So if you're looking for a French spot in Williamsburg, this is it!!!!!! Check it out.

This restaurant used to be called Pâtes et Traditions and I fondly remembered coming here in my early twenties. It was by far one of the most authentic and affordable French restaurants in all of NYC. They closed down due to the pandemic but I'm so happy that they're now back in business under a new name, and the food continues to be phenomenal! The French onion soup was so rich and deeply intense in its flavors that we couldn't stop devouring it! Highly recommend! The crepes were all so beautifully constructed and did not skimp out on ingredients as evident in the photos; we got two different crepes and although they're both creamy, they have such drastically different flavor profiles. We got both the tomato penne, which is very refreshingly fresh, like its flavors are light but yet flavorful and not overwhelming. Then my favorite, the duck fettuccini, one of my go-to choice from back in the old days; creamy, flavorful, and seasoned perfectly for us to add however much salt and pepper to our own liking! A must-get! We got the ribeye which although was cooked perfectly medium-rare, its flavor from the sauce was somewhat overly light, which can be a very easy fix in the future. Overall, we love Maison Provence/Pates et Tradition, and we're so glad its quality and passion has not deteriorated whatsoever. Thank you to chef Lo Lo for being so warm, welcoming, kind, and fun to socialize with. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to relive my early memories and I promise I'll be back with my friends and family in the future! Hope my little origami is still there when we come back next, haha! Thank you so much for reading, please give them a try and I promise you won't regret it! (:

Maison Provence was a lovely place to stop for some great wine and some delicious French food, at very affordable prices. They have a cafe feel to the space; it's not huge, but there's also lots of outdoor seating on both sides of the corner lot. Such a great place to sit for a leisurely drink when the weather is nice. The menu is straightforward, with a few options for each type of drink, and some interesting food selections that are inspired by cuisine from Nice (NOT Paris, as the owners were quick to note). Aside from a delicious Pinot Noir, we shared this Zucchini Socca with a merguez sausage, and it was delicious. The sausage was full of flavor and didn't have that overwhelming greasy mouthfeel of some heavier cuts. Definitely a great choice, especially if you're looking for a quieter setting in the Williamsburg area!

Delicious food, good service and very French atmosphere. Small space with loud music, if you are looking for a quiet spot, that's not it. The Wait Staff were capable, a smile here and there could not hurt! overall, a very decent lunch experience.

My partner and I had a delightful dinner here. It's located in Greenpoint and has such a cozy, Grandma's home interior decor and vibe. All of the food was excellent and I witnessed how the owner himself greeted all the guests like they are VIPs, as well as served everyone/was the runner. He seemed down to earth and is from Nice, France. He knows a lot about food and hospitality, and really makes me look forward to becoming a regular here. They have a lot of crepes on the menu: both savory and sweet. And fun fact, savory crepes in France are made with those from buckwheat flour: a different style of crepe than those made for the sweet/dessert dishes, which American places that serve savory crepes do not do. We learned a lot about Southern French cuisine here!

Many years ago there was a lovely spot for galettes owned by a Niçois couple on this corner called Pâtes et Traditions. The same ownership team has now returned with an updated but similar menu at the same corner, now titled Maison Provence. The buckwheat galettes remain impeccable - the variety with soft pan fried potatoes remains just as good as I remember it from 2019. Now they've added some other traditional Niçois dishes, including the socca, a somewhat bland but pleasant chickpea pancake that I last ate in the lanes of Antibes. And of course there's no better drink pairing for a meal here than a kir royale. They offer a unique lavender variety, but I have to stick to the classic with cassis.

Fancy place. The glass of prosecco was nice as you can see from the photo. But the service was a bit insufficient as there was only one server. Two was better when I went there.

If you are a foodie like me, this place is 5 stars. For starters, the Socca with the sauce on the side is amazing. The French onion soup was just right for something light before the main course. For dinner, a pasta boy like me couldn't resist the Chicken Lemon Sausage Penne. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the pasta was nice and tender. Our server Linda was so welcoming and the owner is very passionate about his restaurant. Don't miss out!
