""This was my go-to lunch spot when I worked retail in Soho. Nowadays, when I'm going to someones house, I love bringing a bag of granola or a beautiful box of petit fours from Balthazar instead of a bottle of wine. Their cakes are the next best thing to baking it yourself." [emily adams founder of bode]"

"✨ A little slice of Paris in the heart of New York! We walked into Balthazar on a rainy day without a reservation — and somehow got lucky with a table outside. The drizzle only added to the charm and made the experience unforgettable. The portions are generous, the flavors divine. Every dish felt carefully prepared, fresh, and satisfying. The atmosphere was buzzing, yet cozy — and the service was fast, warm, and attentive. Perfect spot for a delicious lunch with that unmistakable French touch. Highly recommend booking in advance — we were lucky, but this place fills up for a reason."

"Balthazar est une célèbre brasserie française qui sert un petit déjeuner français traditionnel sept jours sur sept. Situé au cœur de SoHo, Balthazar est connu pour sa cuisine raffinée et son atmosphère sophistiquée. Croquez dans un œuf bénédictin parfaitement préparé , une gaufre belge ou optez pour un petit-déjeuner anglais complet, comprenant deux œufs, du bacon, des haricots, des saucisses, des champignons, des tomates et du pain frit ! Les options sont nombreuses et l’établissement est parfait si vous cherchez un repas relaxant dans le sud de Manhattan."

"Keith McNally's flagship restaurant—this is also the master behind such atmospheric Manhattan mainstays as Pastis, the Odeon, Minetta Tavern, and Morandi, each also worth a visit if I may suggest a “Keith McNally crawl”—is a high-ceilinged, brasserie-inspired scene to end all scenes. Martinis are omnipresent at the bar and in deep red-leather booths. So are steak frites smothered in peppercorn sauce. But the asset that's fabulous with the greatest diversity are the patrons—like if that New York magazine cover all convened to share a meal. Alison Roman once told Interview: “The food is so bad, it’s too expensive, I love going there.” She's being facetious for comedic effect—the food is just fine, but it is true that you're really going there to go there. With your expectations duly measured, enjoy an uncomplicated onion soup gratine and some yummy, well-buttered escargot for starters before moving on to the steak frites main event. For dessert, there's nowhere worth going more than the perfect profiteroles, poured with warm chocolate sauce tableside."

"As the crown jewel of restauranteur Keith McNally’s downtown empire, Balthazar channels all the charm and style of a Parisian bistro—booths and antiqued mirrors included. Dining here feels like an event, and as such it draws big crowds for its Coq Au Vin, Moules Frites, and burger. We actually like its adjacent bakery best, where you can take perfect croissants, loafs of bread, and coffee to go."

"Resto typique omelettes escargot (claire rose) ++"

@

"Escargot fantástico! Que molho! Sopa de cebola gratinada imperdível e moules frites de comer rezando"

@

"When it opened in 1997, Balthazar inspired nostalgia for turn-of-the-century Paris. Now, it also inspires nostalgia for turn-of-the-21st century Soho. This French brasserie’s bustling yet elegant dining room—yellow walls, red banquettes, enormous mirrors—glows with some of the most universally flattering restaurant lighting we’ve ever experienced. Order any subset of the steak tartare, escargot, moules frites, and onion soup, or splurge on a comically large seafood tower. The people-watching remains spectacular on weekend evenings, and Balthazar still functions as a PokéStop for a certain flavor of downtown celebrity. It’s worth noting that breakfast is a much more peaceful experience—and one that allows you to take advantage of their excellent bakery. "

"For breakfast: https://balthazarny.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Breakfast-01-16-23-.pdf Als das Balthazar 1997 in Soho eröffnete, fühlten sich viele Kunden umgehend ins 9. Pariser Arrondissement versetzt. Das Bistro des legendären Gastronomen Keith McNally (auch Besitzer des Pastos und der Schiller's Liquor Bar) wirkt authentisch - der Fliesenboden war schon zur Eröffnung abgewetzt und gesprungen - und ist zugleich durch und durch New York. Hierher kommt man, um im besten Licht gesehen zu werden, Lille an der langen Zinkbar zu schlürfen oder bei Joules frites in einem der ach so privaten Separees ein Geschäft abzuschliessen. Magnifique."

"My family will be visiting New York City soon, and I want to sneak away one morning for some shopping. What neighborhood should I go to? — Britt A. The answer’s a no-brainer: Nolita. Start at the beautiful Sézane store for French clothes and pretty bags (fyi, mention CUPOFJO and you’ll get a little gift with purchase). Then walk down Elizabeth Street, which is peppered with indie shops (don’t miss Le Labo’s fragrances). After that, stroll around the neighborhood, and you’ll stumble across gems, including a fantastic chocolate shop and bookstore. If you’re hungry, locals go ape for Parm, where you can get the sandwich of a lifetime; or grab a coffee and croissant at Balthazar Bakery. (Cup of jo)"
