Not coming back. The hot chocolate tasted good, but it was served in a chipped saucer. In my culture, serving food or drinks in chipped or broken dishes is considered bad luck, and unfortunately I only noticed it after taking a few sips. The Earl Grey tea was $6.50 for a medium, and it wasn't even freshly brewed--it was just a cheap Lipton tea bag dropped into hot water, which felt very disappointing for the price. I didn't try their desserts, so I can't comment on those, but based on this experience, I won't be returning. read more

A cozy neighborhood spot with arguably the best steak frites on the whole block. The meat was incredibly tender and the frites were fried to perfection. The fries were a bit over-seasoned, but the acidity from the salad helped cut through it. An indulgent meal great for a boys night or a date night. Service was attentive and given the small nature and intimacy of the restaurant, it was never difficult to get the attention of a server. read more

Great local spot I just found out about thru Yelp and will be back. It's authentic n the flavors are spot on. I just got back from Paris 2 weeks ago n can attest to this. The escargot, steak frites, moules frites and trout. All good. Dessert profiteroles n creme brulee ofc!!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute little French bistro! Loved the atmosphere in there for a date night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm on a quest to find the best French onion soup in NYC and it's been hard to find because after going to Paris, it's just not the same here. However, Le Parisien did a pretty good job! The cheese was perfect but the broth was a little sweet for my liking. However, what blew my mind was the steak frites. It was so perfectly cooked and the flavor profile, amazing! read more

Le Parisien - French Onion Soup and Bistrot Steak Frites - French Near Me - New York, New York

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Food was amazing, service was on point, ambiance was adorable![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Was visiting a friend and she showed me the cutest hole in the wall. I got the steak Fritz and it was insane. So tender and juicy, I'd say about a 8 ounce portion with a salad and mountain of fries. For four people our bill was around $230 before tip and we ordered 1 appetizer, 4 entrees, AND a whole bottle of wine! Would have loved to try desserts but the portions were so generous we were too stuffed. Will definitely be back next time I'm in the city! read more

I had an amazing experience at Le Parisian! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is small & cozy; I think it's a classic Parisian vibe, kinda giving you a slice of France.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is actually my sixth time visiting this restaurant, and I've pretty much tried almost everything on the menu. One of the things I've been getting consistently was the Bordeaux red wine, which is a good alternative to Cabernet for my red wine drinkers. It's very rich and smooth, and pairs really well with the steak frites, which is what I ordered for this visit! The steak is always cooked very well & tender, and the frites were crisp and golden. It's definitely a dish that's simple yet elevated, exactly what you'd expect from an authentic French bistro! One thing I noticed about the steak frites on this visit is that the sauce seemed slightly different. I'm assuming the ingredients or the sauce changed, but it had more onion-like shavings on top and the sauce was a sweeter flavor. Nevertheless, it was still absolutely delicious!! I really recommend making a reservation in advanced since there is limited seating. Definitely a place that I go frequently as a local and recommend to anyone else! read more

One of my favorite spots in NYC. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Consistently has delicious food, great service, and cute ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend their duck confit, steak-frites, and the crème brûlée! read more

We have been going here for many years, but last time was the first time we dined inside and in a very close environment. The other diners seemed to be tourists and/or French nationals. The service was excellent and the food was good- prices have jumped a lot since we dined here last. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I would ONLY return if I dined outside. The inside of the restaurant was packed to the max and was not conducive to a relaxing meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I am also exploring other local French restaurants with a better ambiance and a little more value.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I had a nice dinner with friends at this neighborhood joint. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is small, tables are a bit tight but they have outdoor seatings.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was pretty good and service was great. We started off with Mussels Marinieres, Escargot, and White asparagus which was tasty. The Pork Chop special of the night was a bit dry, Duck confit and Steak Frites were flavorful and juicy. read more

Awful! Customer service is terrible. I don't recommend it at all. The stuff is rude and they understand what being warm and respectful means

We spent an entire day at the hospital and were starving... this is a 10 minute walk from NYU Langone. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really wonderful atmosphere and food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had the steak, salmon and roast chicken ... beet salad to start and finally crème brûlée for dessert. It was so satisfying and exactly what we needed after that day. Thanks for a delicious meal read more

Do not recommend reserving with this establishement. They lack all sort of professionalism as they charge for cancellation of a reservation in the middle of an extreme weather advisory. As I was explaining this on the phone with the establishment, the waitress was just talking over me with the website over and over again without providing any sort of care or empathy. They obviously are not caring about their service when we took time to call an hour before the reservation to let them know and they said they were aware of the extreme weather advisory. I mentioned that this is for a graduation dinner that we booked with them month ago and kept just repeating and talking over showing absolutely no care. I have never experienced such horrible customer service at a fine restaurant in New York City. Do not spend your money here. read more

Pretty solid steak frites and decently priced. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A bit small, tables felt crowded and like you were interrupting everyone's conversation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service definitely left something to be desired, but wasn't a huge damper on the evening.

Le Parisien - Trout and Bistrot Steak Frites - French Near Me - New York, New York

Food was pretty good but the space was very tight . Additionally there was very littler interaction with the wait staff because they made you order your entire meal, including dessert all at once. I ordered the steak frites because there was at least one on every other table. It was clearly what people come there for and it was delicious. Steak was perfectly cooked, fries- well seasoned, and it was a huge portion. Despite this, I was underwhelmed by everything else. If my plans fell through in the area and I was hungry, I'd go again. However, I would not make this my main destination read more

Cute little restaurant that reminded me exactly of Paris! We were originally seated inside, but it was a little dark, so moved outside. It was so cute and had great vibes, but outside suited the occasion more. The service was very nice as well! We didn't feel rushed at all during the meal. The Steak Frites was amazing! The steak was tender and sauce was delicious! The shallots paired with the steak very nicely and added a little sweetness to the dish. Didn't try the French Onion Soup or Duck Confit, but heard they were amazing as well. I really want to go back to try their brunch! read more

Let me tell you about my favorite little spot in midtown, six years after leaving NYC, I still think about this spot. It is also the first place that pops into my mind when someone asks me to recommend a restaurant in Manhattan. Why? Well, I ask myself the same question. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It isn't the fanciest spot - but oh is it the most authentic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a small piece of Paris in Midtown, and what a cute piece of Paris it is.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The owners seem to be French, the wine is delicious, the service is hospitable. I actually like that the menu is limited, because everything they make is delicious, my favorites include the steak frites, mussels, and escargot. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Small place with about 30 seats inside close together short wine list and rather short menu.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had two orders of the escargot was wonderful. I had the baked chicken outstanding. It's more of a bistro type menu, but everybody seem to be happy. The wine we were offered was good. The staff was very pleasant, but reservations are highly suggested. A good choice for French food on the east side. read more

"The best duck I've ever had" my gf's parent exclaimed as we talked about our time at Le Parisien, so to get things going, this place was enjoyable. A very intimate experience with only having 13 ish tables to seat people, a reservation is a must when you are heading here for dinner. This would be a nice date night spot, saw a few couples out on dates and they all seemed to be enjoying themselves. I had the French Onion Soup, which is a must in a rainy and cold New York environment, very good, and also had the Chicken Paillard which was just okay, they have some thyme and other trimmings on it that you shouldn't eat, so it would be good to take that off before serving. But overall, a nice spot for a dinner date, 4 stars read more

Very authentic French bistro offering solid French classics. I ordered the Croque Madame ($21), which was pretty good. The cheese was nicely melted, although the ham was just ordinary in quality. The egg on top was cooked to a nice over easy, but the brioche buns were a tad dry. I've had some other Croque Madames before that were more pressed sandwiches and were a bit better, but that's not to say that this one was not enjoyable. It also came with a side salad and some ordinary fries. The Ham and Gruyere Cheese omelette ($20) was pretty much as you would expect. The ham and cheese were decent. The egg part of the omelette was surprisingly fluffy in a good way. I also tried the Escargots with Garlic and Parsley Butter ($15). They were good quality, and the garlic and parsley butter added a nice savory flavor. The escargots were cooked to be tender and not overly chewy. This restaurant has an authentic French bistro vibe, from the food options, to the owner/waitress speaking French with each other, to the French-style decor and cozy atmosphere. The place is a bit small with dim lighting, adding to the coziness and homey feel. Our waitress was pretty friendly and the service speed was quick. We were able to get a table for Sunday brunch right away without a reservation. Overall, while I wouldn't say Le Parisien has the best quality food, it is still pretty good. If you are looking for a classic French bistro experience in a cozy environment in the Murray Hill area, then I would recommend making a visit to Le Parisien. read more

Highlights of the night: Escargot. Perfection. French onion soup. Had a bit of a fun kick, not sure whether it was beer or a liquor but divine. One of the best ever. Steak frites. Cooked to perfection and the sauce was delightful. I lived in Paris for 2 years and this was as close to an authentic French cafe as I've been to outside of France. Only missing one star because the hostess was beyond rude when we arrived 8 minutes after our rez time after calling to say we were in traffic and they have a 15 minute grace period then telling us we needed to hurry up and finish because they had a wait at the door. read more

Le Parisien is one of my favorite french places in Manhattan! Every time I've gone the food has been absolutely delicious. Some of my favorite things off the menu include the french onion soup, eggs benedict, and croque monsieur! If you're planning on taking advantage of their brunch specials, I'd definitely recommend either getting their early or calling to make a reservation, as the interior is super small! Overall the service is great, the staff is very warm and welcoming! Would definitely recommend if you're in the area and looking for a quaint little brunch spot! read more

Love this place. Amelie is great. My first choice for French cuisine when in NY. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great, intimate bistro.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

I reviewed this restaurant in early May after I had a nice meal there and consequently gave it 5 stars. Because of their dishonesty, I now have to reduce that rating by 1 star. Patrons at this restaurant should carefully check their receipts. I did just that and found that, although I had left a 16% tip, someone in the restaurant decided that wasn't enough and arbitrarily increased it to 18%. It's not a lot of money, but still they had no right to do that. There is nothing on their menu that states customers have to leave a minimum of 18%. Three times I have emailed the owner to refund the amount of money stolen from me, but he has chosen to not respond. This is not a satisfactory situation, and if he continues to remain silent, I intend to file a complaint against the restaurant. It is also interesting to note that, on the customers' copy of the receipts, different from all other restaurant I've been to, they have no space for the customer to fill in the tip amount and the total, although I did fill it in anyway because I like to keep close records. I felt compelled to add this notification to my review because customers should be on the lookout for this kind of activity at this restaurant. I had planned to return to the restaurant because I liked the food, but that won't be happening now. read more

My first venture into Parisien cuisine, and I quite enjoyed it! If you're a bigger group, definitely make reservations because the place is small. I have never been to Paris, but I felt the vibes from how this quaint place transforms into such a warm ambiance into the evening, with fitting music, candles, and bustling chatter. The Escargots With Garlic and Parsley ($17) was a must for me. I mainly tasted the delicious pesto-like sauce doused onto the snails. The land snails were relatively bland, although chewy. For my main course, I got the Duck Confit With Crispy Potatoes and Frisee Salad ($32). Confit, I learned on the spot, is a method of having the meat cooked slowly in its own fat. You can tell, from the greasy richness infused into every bite of duck. The duck meat itself were skinny strips too. The best part was when you get a hold of the aromatic duck skin on your potato slice! The salad was pretty bitter tasting to me, despite the dressing. The service was fantastic, and the meal, of quality. It is pricey though, so prepare the wallets. read more

Cute, rustic with outdoor and indoor seating options. Limited space, so reservations encouraged I was surprised at how quickly the food came out. I mean it was like instant (almost) but the food was fresh and delicious. The chicken (roasted) was fresh, tender and cooked well through with a flavorful jus and a soft silken bed of mashed potatoes. The profiteroles come two to an order but since there were three of us they were kind enough to add a third. We also didn't feel rushed which was a welcome change from how it has become more and more in NYC dining. Will try this place again. P.S The owner is also usually milling around if you want to ask him about the place. read more
