Frequently walking past Le Moulin I thought it time to give 'em a try. I was particularly impressed with their bread. Crisp and chewy. The pastries we got were nice and flakey. Not overly sweet. Peach tart, juicy. Did I LOVE what we chose? Nope. LIKED is more accurate. But my interest is piqued to explore the menu, and stay for a more substantial meal. Plus I like their outdoor set up.

I had the couscous dinner delivered, which is my favorite meal even though I love all that I've tried at this restaurant. I highly recommend the couscous, and I also highly recommend the falafel platter which is so nutritious and filling! The EFFY'S salad is also delicious. Perhaps they can add a pasta dish! You will love everything here whether it's dining in or ordering for delivery. The delivery is great and dining in is a whole lot of fun because it's a friendly atmosphere. Enjoy it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack! Come alone, or bring friends! Barbara T. 7/30/26

(She's been ordering the same thing for years and says it's consistently delicious.) Effy's is 100% meatless with a nice array of choices. Her 'usual' btw is Effy's salad with added salmon. The salad's made up of kale, roasted sweet potato, almonds, avocado, beets and honey balsamic vinegar. Not my thing, but it looked nice. I in turn ordered the smoked fish platter. My photo somehow makes the portions of fish salad look larger than they are. Dollops of white fish, baked salmon, a slice of lox. Came with an everything bagel, cream cheese, capers, a little bit of salad and two eggs. (Rather than over-easy as requested, they were over-hard. Eh.) This is a cozy little cafe, apparently packed on the weekends. A pleasant outdoor area, which is often my preference, but just as well that it was raining. My companion avoids outside pollutants. Late afternoon timing was perfect with the arrival of two talented singers with a recognizable repertoire. The woman sounded like Emmylou Harris. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner they serve wine and also dessert. Yesterday's choices were strawberry shortcake, chocolate cake and mango mousse.

If you are on the UES and need to redeem your MealPal credits, this is a good choice to try once. The guy who worked there was nice and at my request allowed me to try the truffle sauce they sold there for $20 for a large container. I guess this is what they use for truffle pasta. However, there is no way I could use all of it in 7 days so I didn't buy it. The sauce was pretty trufflely.

The flavor of the truffle mushroom pasta, pesto and arabiatta were good but the portions were so small given the cost. The containers were not even filled, only partially.

I've been clamoring - CLAMORING - for a place like this in the Upper East Side. Most Asian…read morerestaurants in this neighborhood are fancy sit-downs, so it was exciting to see a quick, casual stop for Asian "finger food" (for a lack of better word) within my vicinity. Joju specializes in modern Vietnamese cuisine, serving meals like bahn mi, loaded fries, and rice meals. The menu recently added soy garlic wings, and since I am a fiend for Asian-style fried chicken, I of course had to have it. While all of the beverages looked tempting, especially their non-alcoholic soju refreshers, I needed caffeine to offset the afternoon slump that was about to follow, so I ordered a Vietnamese coffee. The wings were huge! It was notably crunchy, saucy, and juicy. There was a decent skin to meat ratio, (I so hate biting into a mouthful of breading), and the meal came out piping hot. It was clear the chicken had been fried per order. Those who know me know that I can't live without rice and would eat it with almost any meal, including fried chicken, so I did request it on the side, although the wings don't come with it. The man who took my order did me a solid and served it with mine, anyway. Good lad! I've been wanting to try Vietnamese coffee for a while now, and it was everything I imagined it would be. Sweet with a bitter backend - but not too bitter! I'm still new to coffee, and I pucker up at anything too intense. This was just right. My meal at Joju satisfied me, mind, body, and soul. I hope it is here to stay, and I hope that a shop like this is a catalyst for other quick Asian food stops to follow. Korean and Filipino restaurants - I'll be waiting!
