Cute little French bistro. We ordered the snail that came with crusty bread that was perfect for scooping up all the sauces. Felt like there were a lot more snails that little pockets for the snails. Total win! Ordered 6 oysters which is the minimum order. All very fresh and tasty. Order the duck confit that came with a side of homemade chips that were so addicting. Ordering the mussels and frites is always a must at a bistro but unfortunately it was not very fresh. The fries were delicious. Cocktails are yummy and the service was very attentive. read more

An amazing happy hour and fresh oysters! All really great, the ambiance is warm and inviting, gets packed on rainy days and they also have a patio. Amazing little spot with great bites and wine options. Really good for breakfast too- crepes and brunch. Love this spot, exceptional service too. I don't say that lightly!! read more

We went in for a super quick bite as we were in a hurry. We were seated immediately on a Saturday evening. The staff understood the need for speed. We ordered thier charcuterie board and 2 glasses of gamay. The wine was delicious. The bread was okay. We got 4 meats, 2 pates and prosciutto and salami. The pates were great. The prosciutto and salami were nothing special. read more

Dropped into Bushwick to visit our son. Walked here for brunch. Very short wait for a table. Had a couple of drinks, spritzer and bloody mary, to be specific. The drinks were fine for a brunch place, but the food was excellent. I had a burger, my wife had the eggs benedict and our son had the chicken and waffles. Three happy plates. The restaurant is a little snug and a bit loud, but that shouldn't be a deterrent. You can still have a nice conversation and there's plenty of room once you are seated. I recommend this establishment to anyone visiting Bushwick. read more

A friend brought us here during our New York trip, and it ended up being one of the best spots we ate at! The service was fantastic -- which says a lot considering we were a group of seven (and not the easiest to manage). The food was just as impressive. They had a great variety, whether you're more into breakfast or brunch, which made everyone in our group happy. Plus, the space was perfectly cool and comfortable on a super hot day. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

Beautiful ambience. The bar is so cute. The French motif is wonderful. I loved the yellow walls and the angled mirrors. The bartender who greeted us and sat us was great. Our waiter wore black latex gloves the entire time like a tattoo artist. He was tall and wore glasses and insisted that he was "goin to bring more water when our bottle was empty" after we asked for more water. Clearly he hasn't spent much time working in hospitality. The burger was extremely greasy and left my hands soaked. When asked for a temperature preference, I ordered medium. When I received my burger and began eating it was obviously rare. A small portion of fries accompanied my plate. Could be a very cute place, dealing with miserable staff is skippable. read more

It's the first time I had escargot in a while and it was garlicky and nice. It had a nice balance in flavor and texture. We also had oysters and it's the first time I've enjoyed east coast oysters, usually they're a tad bit too briny for me. The pasta was delicious but there were a few small pieces of shell I bit into. Other than that, it was saffrony and nice. I ordered it simply because I craved a dish with scallops and it was the only one. read more

I really love this cozy, intimate restaurant. It may be small, but it delivers big on flavor. You have to start with the escargot--it's a must. The standout for me, though, is the duck confit. Lightly fried for perfectly crispy skin, with tender, fall-off-the-bone duck, served alongside chips--absolutely delicious! Finishing the night with the crème brûlée was the perfect touch. read more

Garden is a vibe. Food is great, music playlist always good. Cute spot for brunch. Never a long wait. Staff is friendly

Mominette is one of our go-to spots in Bushwick, and it never disappoints. I've been here several times with my wife, and every meal has been spot-on. I've had both the duck and the rack of lamb--each one cooked to perfection and full of flavor. My wife usually goes for the salmon, which is always fresh and beautifully prepared. We usually start with the Camembert and the charcuterie board--both are excellent and a great way to ease into the meal. The staff is consistently top notch--friendly, attentive, and professional without hovering. The ambience is also a big part of what makes this place special: warm, inviting, and just the right mix of laid-back and classy. If you're looking for a reliable, delicious, and well-run spot in Bushwick, Mominette is absolutely worth checking out. read more

These were some of the best oysters I've ever had, and the burger was truly unbelievable. Extremely high quality meat and I love that they served mayo and ketchup on the side so I could dress the burger to my personal taste. Top it off with an elite cocktail selection and we've got an immediate candidate for my favorite bar/restaurant in Bushwick. The service was also incredible -- I walked in drenched after a sudden downpour and both the bartender and my waiter offered me towels to dry myself off, which went a long way. Ambiance was also fantastic I can't recommend this place enough!! read more

Everything from the service to the food was on point! We started with appetizers, which totally set the tone for what was to come! We shared oysters, escargot and camembert wrapped in phyllo with prunes and mushroom on top. It was appetizer heaven! Next up we ordered boeuf bourguignon and burgers with frites. The bourguignon was just like grandma used to make, tender and the sauce was rich with flavor. My companions enjoyed their burgers - both were cooked as requested. The frites were fried deliciousness! Crazy enough we had room for dessert - flourless chocolate cake and Creme Brule. A bottle of Sancerre and a couple of cocktails thrown in rounded out the meal. Price was fair for the quality of food we received. Definitely worth a trip back real soon! (So enthralled by the food and conversation forgot to take pics - less pics more eating is what I say!) read more

Back with another neighborhood joint! If you've read my last reviews, then you know I'm on a mission to explore all the food gems my hood has to offer. This week, I checked out Mominette for brunch with my big bro who was visiting this weekend. We arrived around 1pm on Sunday and we were seated out back within five minutes. We started with a Bellini carafe which was a pretty decent price but too much juice and not enough bubbly. For our meals, he had the Smoked Salmon Benedict and I went with the Steak and Eggs as it's one of the only gluten free options on the menu. Wish they had GF bread for the burger. Anywho, can't wait to stop by for the oyster happy hour and dinner! read more

Outdoor garden is super cute during the day and would be a nice place to drink a glass of wine during the summer evening. Croque-monsieur was well portioned and pretty decent. Other dishes are delicious but not the most filling, recommend getting more sides or maybe adding another item when ordering read more

Came here for dinner before the Seven Sins show at Theather 14. Backyard is cute but the mosquitoes were having a field day on my leg by the fan; there's running water in the vines that's creating them. With that aside staff were nice and attentive. The food was ok. I ordered the Pàtes aux fruits de mer-seafood pasta. It needed some salt and pepper but not too bad. My friend had the Mominette burger and she said, it was good. I also had the Je M'apelle for drink and it was good. Not too far from the train about a good 2 -3 blocks. I also liked the variety or French music being played. I Def want to fo try the Charcuterie plate. read more

I came here for brunch. I recommend sitting outside if you can since its lovely. The service was pretty regular but the wait staff is good. We got the coffee- sort of ok- and then the pancake, the ratatouille omlette and the burger. I highly recommend the pancake, it has a cake consistency and comes with a delicious strawberry butter. I also loved my burger, it was one of the better ones Ive had from a preparation standpoint, I got it with the blue cheese. The ratatouille omlette wasnt really a stand out but it was good. The space outdoors is lots of little cafe tables and chairs, it has a roof on top in case it rains and has one big group table for shares and large parties. I think I will be back for dinner read more

Delicious meal! I don't have French food often and this place hit the spot. I absolutely loved the escargot! I never order escargot because I'm nervous to do so but at this place, it's worth it. They also have happy hour during the week, and it's a good deal. The service was great and the place is quaint and very romantic. read more

Mominette hosted my 20-person birthday party and they did a wonderful job. I do have to preface that getting ahold of the manager was difficult but not impossible (use email and follow up with a call). They carved out enough space for me in a section of their intimate restaurant. The waitstaff were able to keep things organized and the food/drinks flowing. Our party ordered a la carte, favorites include the escargot, salmon, lamb chops, and the espresso martini. We'll have to return to sit outside and try the oysters next time!

I really enjoyed the oysters. Their drinks are also great. I wish there was more seating but there wasn't much you can do about that.

In the heart of Bushwick, Brooklyn you'll find Mominette. It's a French Bistro with a vintage twist. The ambiance was dimly lit and comfortable with lots of natural light via brunch. I'd recommend the following - iced coffee with almond milk, Bloody Mary and Cucumber Cooler for cocktails, and the Mominette Burger. Do yourself a favor and add on extras for $2 each (it's worth every single penny). We added the goat cheese, egg, Gruyère, and jalapeños for an extra zest! Frances Rose the waitress was very attentive and the service was amazing! I wanted to give my sincere thanks to the gentleman who went out of his way to get me a to-go cup for my coffee. Hipster coffee is the best!!! read more

We decided to visit this spot on a weekend morning for brunch. We walked in without a reservation and were able to find seating without any issue. I'd arrive coming during the less busy times because they could get packed pretty fast. We opted for the mimosa carafe and I got the house burger. Great service and good dishes made for an enjoyable experience. The restaurant itself is quaint and gives off Parisian Brasserie vibes with wood finishes and a high top bar. I'd definitely come back for brunch and other meals too. read more

Located in Bushwick, it doesn't look like much from the front door but once you make your way in, you're transported to a French cafe and all is right with the world. The staff and servers are friendly and hip and they help you find a seat and menu quickly! The place is buzzing with friends, lovers, loners and everyone in between. It almost feels like someone famous may walk in. I sat at the bar and ordered a lemony vodka drink that the girls next to me were raving about. They were right. It was refreshing and perfect for brunch. I also took their advice and had the French toast over my usual salmon Benedict. I was not disappointed. Moist, fluffy, eggy and made with a buttery brioche. Yummo! I just had to have eggs and bacon to round out the goodness. A Sunday we'll spent. read more

Friday night dinner for 2. This place is so cozy, vintage yet modern and so French. It was our second time here for dinner and we sat in the same corner by the window. It wasn't too busy at 6:45pm but definitely filled up closer to 8pm. This place has a top-notch onion soup - must order. We usually share so we aren't too filled before our entrees. We also shared the rack of lamb and the steak frites. Yum.. we finished every last bite on our plates!! Last time, we also got the rack of lamb and the duck confit, which I remember devouring as well. Get the creme brûlée -- they do it so well!! Think we have found "our spot" in bushwick. read more

Dear Yelpers!! I was on an oyster kick for a while and decided to try a few places in Brooklyn and Queens. This place had great reviews but sadly the reviews didn't live up to my expectations. This felt more like a dive bar with added seating for a few choice food options rather than an oyster bar. The oysters were decent and some of the sides were ok. The seating was tight and chairs uncomfortable. Drinks are equivalent to a dive bar experience and the neighborhood felt a little unsafe. If you're chill laid back and looking for a bite to eat with friends then go for it but otherwise I would not come back, especially not for a date night or to impress anyone. 4 out of 10 Don't Recommend read more

Went here last night and the food was not good. My pasta dish looked old and was overly salty and did not taste like anything. I cook a lot and have worked in restaurants, so I know when pasta has been sitting out fully cooked for a long time. The place was empty but still the server forgot to bring my friend's bread. Idk guys what is happening here. Do you not want us to come back? read more

It held such promise. Great vibe. But the food on a recent Sunday night was really below par. The cheese platter was the only item I could recommend. The burger was cooked wrong - served almost rare when asked for medium. When redelivered went to the wrong table. Obv. the wait therefore was even longer. The mussels were meh. The side dish of spinach again meh. And it's not cheap. Sorry. read more

This place is perfect for oysters & happy hour! It starts at 6 pm or so. Me and a friend went through 3-4 dozen oysters and could've ordered more. It was very fresh and we had west coast as well as east coast. We ordered French onion soup, escargot and salmon tartare. The escargot was exceptional, very flavorful. Salmon tartare was good. I was a bit disappointed with the French onion soup. I think it's the bread that was used. It was on the bitter side. The hit for the night was the cocktails. I ordered the " Le Cucumber D' Amour. This drink is 10/10 all around. I'm a sucker for a well crafted cocktail so would definitely come back for this. read more

This was my second time at Mominette and I'll be back! A cozy neighborhood gem with a cute back patio eating area as well. Most tables were full when so arrived for a solo brunch and was immediately seated by kind staff. I tired the specialty cocktail (Leo Lavender Sprtiz) which smelled lovely from the sprinkle of dried lavender on top. The omelette was filling and quickly prepared. I also saw signs for a weekday happy hour with $1 oysters so that will definitely be worth a try! read more
