This was a wise choice. Yesterday (08/24), my boyfriend and I headed into NYC for some mandatory shopping, and we came here for brunch to fortify ourselves for our expedition. I was initially put off by the front of the place (it's not much to look at), but the food here is what makes it special and worthy for a second, third, and probably 15th visit. I ordered the Strawberries and Cream waffles, and my boyfriend ordered the Classic English Breakfast (two eggs, smoked bacon, pork sausage, mushrooms, fried tomatoes, baked beans and bread). My waffles were easy on my eyes and my tummy; it was a beautifully presented dish, with little rivulets of strawberry sauce slowly drizzling down the the peak of fresh whipped cream on top. As for the taste, I loved every bit of it; from the sweet freshness of the strawberries to the crisp edges of the waffles, it was perfection all around. I didn't leave one speck or crumb on my plate. My boyfriend also liked his meal, although he didn't get to finish it. Our service was pretty good, although we were the only ones in the restaurant. I think it was because it was a bit hot indoors, and everyone preferred to eat outside because the weather was dry and comfortable. But I will recommend this place to anyone who wants a kick-ass waffle. read more

Stopped in for breakfast. They got my order wrong twice and the service wasn't great. No plans to return anytime soon.

Love this place! The outdoor seatings are super cute with patriotic tablecloth. However the inside of the restaurant is a little too dark and not so fancy. Loved their tomato mozzarella pesto sandwich with the tomato and basil soup. The fish and chips are delicious as well. Each dish comes with an English flag toothpick which is totally cute! Server had a British accent too. Would come back again. read more

This place is amazing. We live within a short walking distance and it has been our to go place since we moved in a few years ago. The food is always great and the service is friendly and homey. Their hours are also very convenient because they stay open later than most other places in the village so we can always count on them as a perfect last minute dinner. Their delivery is also quick and just as delicious. They are also a fantastic brunch spot. They make a mean coffee, fresh squeezed orange juice and crazy good omelettes, served with a basket of perfectly toasted bread. In a nutshell, this is what doing it right looks like. read more

Came for brunch and it was excellent. The food was cooked fresh and came out hot. You can watch them prepare everything. The croissants were OK but the omelets were great. Didn't go for the classic English breakfast as I generally follow the rule of not eating English food unless forced to by family and/or friends. This is a very small place so come early or you might have to wait in line for a while. read more

Perfect breakfast place with good portions and great food! A little tight so get there early. Wish we had found this place at the beginning of our visit! The service was good and food came out without a hassle. Definitely worth a visit! read more

SOOO good. Beautiful menu, great service, and such delicious food. The owner was so welcome and you could tell genuinely cared about their guests. Will definitely be back many times I'm just so obsessed read more

A platonic ideal of a West Village cafe. Great service and vibe. I never review anything on here but this was great. French onion soup especially, and it's relatively cheap. read more

I ordered the English breakfast and the waffle when I was here. The English breakfast was good and hearty, although did not really live up to all the other yelper hype, but the waffle was really really small for the price I paid. Overall, I am not too too impressed with this place. read more

What a truly lovely place. The combination of Belgian and English sensibilities works incredibly well. The food is fantastically good and the owner is lovely. We went for Brunch, and enjoyed everything. The prices are reasonable as well. Just great. We live in TriBeCa but will happily walk here without thinking about it. read more

Ate here both days we were in town; the first was great enough to bring us back, but the second trip had lost a little something. Differences were in the bacon (less crisp and smokey) and beans (undercooked and hard in the center). The host on day one was fun, friendly, and inviting. The host on the second day was stoic and functional. So knowing that the quality is variable, I'd still recommend this place to others. Coffee was good, the smokey bacon is great, and the variety of the English breakfast is a good start to the day. We're gluten free and no one had any reactions to the food either day. Kids: Note that there's only one high chair, and both days someone beat us to it, so don't rely on one being available. There are two bins of books inside that can keep the kids entertained while you wait for your food. read more

We came to oscar's after drawing his card out of our Diners Deck(city shuffles). Really homely and deli style brunch place. Their omelette are cooked so well, great seasoning. Service was fast and good! Recommend! read more

Delicious breakfast and really good coffee! Only problem I was squished into a chair near the kitchen and kept hitting waiters and other with my elbow since there is no room to move! read more

Lovely small place. Had lunch there today with a friend, absolutely love this place, nice, hearty and dependable food ( I had the delicious omelet), fantastic coffee and orange juice. It was raining quite a bit, and it was a perfect spot: very cozy, warm and personable. They have great breakfast food all day (omelets, waffles, burgers/sandwiches and salads), what not to like? The prices are also reasonable for the area (13,50 for the omelet). I imagine it gets super busy on weekends because it's so small inside, but yeah, I recommend it! read more

A small, but cozy place in the west village, with both indoor and outdoor seating. My boyfriend and I both had the classic English breakfast for Sunday brunch, both food and coffee were very good. My boyfriend also ordered the bread pudding, which was delicious! read more

Oscar's Place - Bread pudding! - Modern European Near Me - New York, New York

A favorite little spot for fellow coworkers -- everyone is very friendly, more than happy to split the check between a million credit cards without any complaints, and the food is excellent. Go on the lighter side with omelets (check out the specials for the day) and soups/sandwiches or go hardcore with the Croque Madame or Croque Monsier for some ridiculous goodness. Has also restored my faith in tuna with their Tuna Melt. read more

I've been meaning to try oscars place for a while. It's an adorable little British restaurant with a small outdoor seating area and a cozy interior. I came here for Sunday brunch with a group of friends and was able to make a reservation for 11am for 6 people the day before. Quite an unusual feat in the city! The food was delicious - I ordered the classic English breakfast with sausage, bacon, eggs, baked beans, mushrooms and fresh bread. Wow was I stuffed after! My friends ordered omelets and burgers. The service was okay and I wish some of my food was less oily, but overall we had a great experience and I would probably come back here. read more

See all

Love the traditional English Breakfast! Must come back for the fish and chips! Highly recommend.

LOVE this place, Oscar you legend, top full english, served right in an authentic nyc cafe environment, playing Sinatra in the background. My favourite breakfast in the village, making a home sick English guy happy on a rainy Saturday morning read more

Went to eat here for the first time I always to try it so here my thought. The place was kinda empty probably because it was a holiday and everyone was out of town or in the east side for the fireworks anyway my friends had the burgers which was great and juicy and I had the Cobb salad which was good the only thing missing was the egg(Cobb salad supposed to have eggs in it) but it e was satisfying the only thing is I look at the menu on yelp and some of the good are not in the menu like chicken parmasian sandwich and chicken club wish they bring it back.. All in all I will definitely come back and try the salmon or the snapper.it smelled really tasty when they errr cooking it read more

Awesome find, deceptive from the front - kitchen seems like a Tardis based on what they punched out. Great host, nothing an issue and the home made baked beans were the bomb! Good value, great menu and cosy home style atmosphere. read more

Came here for breakfast earlier in the week. NEW FAVORITE SPOT. I'm legitimately British and the full English was LEGIT. They make their own baked beans and they were so so good. It was like being back home for a minute. And more than anything, the guy that was running the place was LOVELY. Named the spot after his son, Oscar. Will definitely be coming back.. and telling all of my British (and American) friends where to go. Unlike a couple of other 'British' places in Manhattan, this was way less snooty and I actually had room to breathe while I enjoyed my food and tea! YES YES YES read more

Very good English breakfast. Excellent PJ tips tea. Amy's bread was warmed up for us. The "chips" were the best part of the meal! Absolutely fantastic, -- malt vinegar was available upon request. My only complaint was that the prices were a bit too high. $18 for a full English breakfast is a bit much. Could have been $15. Food was authentic and tasty. Service was swift and cordial. read more

Small but very cosy. Fish burger was really good and I also enjoyed the beer choice and the attitude of the staff. read more

Undistinguished presentation of a traditional British breakfast. Satisfying, no doubt, filling me with nostalgia, but I expected more depth of flavor. read more

Stumbled upon this place while wandering the West Village and loved it! It's cute, has good food and great service. I got the croque vegetarian with caesar salad. My brother got the croque madame. We were both very happy and full. :) It's a great place do hole up with a book over delicious coffee or meet someone for a meal. I will be back! read more

Promptly seated, but it's a small space, so at prime times you should plan ahead. Great variety on the dinner menu; torn between the fish and chips and the beef stew, I opted for the former. Never had Aspall Dry English Cider (bottled), but it's wonderful. The food, however, was merely adequate. Fish and chips had only one piece of fish, a detriment for a larger eater. There was too much of a bland breading in ratio to the fish. I had to use a lot of the (admittedly delicious) tartar sauce to give it flavor. But it was nice to get malt vinegar served with it automatically. So ok, but not brilliant, food. It's worth checking out for its wide variety of dinner choices. read more

great service. authentic belgian. hard to find. Neil (owner)& Gaston (head server) are great. Consistent (quality never dropped over the years). favourite: chicken stew, mussels & waffles read more

Came here for breakfast after Yoga at Peloton. It's just around the corner. What a fun, friendly, place. Food is excellent! Coffee is awesome!! It's a cozy place with great people, staff and customers. Lovely experience! read more

Oscars place was a delight. Most brunch places are always packed so when my friend and I got there and there was a seat we knew we stumbled on a gem. Packed places are great and all but when you're a New Yorker and you just want a nice lovely breakfast/brunch where you can hear yourself talk it's hard to find even at some of the favorites. I ordered the English breakfast as I was craving English food. I mainly came here because of it since it reminded me of my time in London. I was not disappointed ! There were tomatoes, mushrooms, beans, sausage, bacon, and egg. Everything tasted authentic and the tea was fantastic! We sat outside since it was such a nice day and overall very much enjoyed it. Sometimes when there's outdoor seating and indoor seating the service is slower however Oscars Place was fairly attentive. I recommend coming here if you want to try British food without the trip to Britain. read more

Super breakfast in the village. We got the traditional English breakfast and a waffle with berries and ice cream. So good! Service was top notch as well. Likely to return. read more

Their burger is seriously so incredible! My friend got it medium rare and it was unbelievable! I got eggs Benedict with salmon which were okay, but nothing special. I didn't love the mashed potatoes that accompanied it. I did absolutely love the Belgian waffle with bananas, ice cream, and chocolate sauce. Overall, it's a super cute and quaint place. I really liked it. read more

Very good eggs benedict and fish & chips. Both favorites. Have only order for delivery from here; so I cannot say what it's like eating at the location. But, hope to eat there soon. read more

I took advantage of the Yelp ofer and got a free tea. It is the best English Breakfast I have ever had. I love their chips. Very good potatoes. My friend ordered malt vinegar and they had real malt vinegar. read more

Great place! We just happened upon this place because we found a great parking spot and we were pleasantly surprised by the delicious food and exceptional service. Also we got to sit outside on their cute little patio. The eggs coquette were delicious. read more

Way overrated. I had the British Breakfast and ordered with poached eggs. The eggs had a strong taste of vinegar, the sausages were cold. The beans were also cold and the mushrooms were soggy. I liked the bread, however which was fresh and had a nice crust. read more

OMG!!!! Despite the know it all Frenchman who comes in everyday with his know it all banter... this place is flawless... the food is flavorful.. I've tried every item off of the menu and I've never once been disappointed.. I highly recommend oscars... I eat here 5 days a week. Great staff as well. Sometimes me mates are me mates. And sometimes me mates mates become me mates read more

This place wasn't anything special, at least for my opinion. The waiters were not accommodating at all. The food was mediocre, the place looks like an old run down very small country diner. Maybe for some this is something they like but it's not for me. I like cozy, this isn't. read more

This was one of the best breakfasts I can remember eating. 14 dollars for a tomato, ham, and Gruyere omelette, comes with mashed potatoes and leeks. I will 100% come back here. Service was quick, it's a neighborhood spot, everyone was friendly. read more
