Frenchette

"Going for T’s birthday this year — we’ll see if it’s as good as they say. The team that owns is the standard bearer right now for NYC French - have a few other places as well. "

"a beautiful, laidback French bistro in Lower Manhattan. It’s the perfect spot to ease into the city’s energy, with a standout brunch and lunch menu. Don’t miss the omelette and fries – the eggs are unbelievably fluffy – best enjoyed alongside something from the superb natural wine list. (Quick side note: if you love a good grocery store moment while travelling, don’t miss Happier Grocery just around the corner. It’s honestly one of the chicest food stores you’ll ever walk into)."

@jilliann

"Chic restaurant for a power lunch with a small but solid list of lunch mains. It’s not a cheap place to eat, but a good place for a work or customer meal. Service was fast and curt… for better or worse. absolutely love this not so hidden gem. the brunch is fantastic. the pancake is unreal. the whipped fish dip is insane. quiche is packed full of flavour. ambiance is a 10 and service is great. cocktails are also incredible. must check this spot out if you’re in the city."

"Ambiance is really cool - could wear a blazer and dress up or hoodie and be fine. Food was very good but steam was underwhelming. The compound butter was just too much. French food is so heavy and buttery I think the steak ruined it. Razor clams casino and smoked trout beignets were impeccable. Duck confit super super good too. "

"Since 2018, Frenchette (241 West Broadway) has been a talk-of-the-town bistro. It’s not hard to get a table these days and the sidewalk seating is lovely; to eat inside, proof of vaccination is required. The menu from co-chefs Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson frequently changes but golden, crunchy fries are a constant, arguably the best in the city. On a recent visit they were piled next to a tender bavette steak bathed in shallot bone-marrow sauce ($45). It is worth paying for the bread ($8), a dense half-baguette served with radishes and a slab of custard-like Ploughgate Creamery butter."

"Way too loud. From its modern French meals to a fashionable pre-sitting setting, there is everything to love about Frenchette. The restaurant's cuisine is exceptional, with an added touch of fun and creative surprises that keep guests coming back every time. Since the fabulous restaurant is often full, so booking a reservation is a good idea. Average meal price: $122 per person Recommendation: Guests looking to splurge can try the entire poulet roti, which is worth every penny Zinc bar, marble floors, burgundy leather banquettes—it’s textbook brasserie with a smattering of art deco finesse. Frenchette arrives courtesy of Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson, veterans of some of the city's most beloved brasseries, and this duo has perfected their Parisian-laced panache. This place is so much more than good looks, though. Begin with brouillade, a plate filled with scrambled eggs framing a pool of Peconic snails and—you guessed it—garlic butter. Traditional sweetbreads sport a crisp shell masking the smooth interior and are served in a savory jus studded with poached crayfish and spring peas. Savor a flaky mille feuille before bidding this delightful kitchen adieu. The wine list is a thoughtful collection of affordable natural European wines."

"Tout juste ouvert, le petit dernier de la scène culinaire de TriBeCa fait déjà un malheur, à tel point qu'il faut réserver des semaines à l'avance pour espérer y dîner à une heure décente. Frenchette, comme son nom ne l'indique pas, est le fruit d'un duo formé par un Montréalais et un Américain. On pourrait qualifier sa cuisine de bistronomique, avec des plats d'inspiration française agrémentés d'une touche de modernité à l'américaine. Les oeufs brouillés aux escargots résument plutôt bien cet esprit. Si le steak frites est particulièrement délicieux, c'est sa version revisitée, le canard frites, qui remporte tous les suffrages. Certains classiques de la nourriture française répondent également à l'appel, comme le gigot d'agneau et le boudin blanc. Si vous n'avez pas de réservation, la meilleure solution pour manger à Frenchette est de vous y rendre en semaine, à l'heure du déjeuner."
