Best

This amazing restaurant feels like Paris. It is one of my favorites. The French onion soup is perfect!

Worst

Although the service was friendly and eager to please, my husband and I were rather disappointed by the steaks, we found them to be tough and of poor quality for the price charged...

Perfect french attitude 7/28/2006

From all the french meals .. my choice would definitely be difficult ... with a preference for the Poulet à la Dijonnaise ... and the crabcakes (delicious) as specialty ..\r \r Keep going there ... and bringing some friends from France who fell in love !\r Very good place in the city, better to reserve, especially for the great brunches! Pros: Atmosphere Cons: Need to reserve more

Pros: Never crowded, Inexpensive Cons: Tough parking, small more

The best french food outsdide of France 10/6/2004

I have been dining here for about 10 years now. As with wine this place has aged beatifully. Located 2 blocks north from Bloomingdales this is a perfect place to enjoy a Kyr Royal after a long day of shopping. If you have worked up a big enough appetite I must suggest the Steak Appoive served with fries. Also the shrimo scampi is another one of my favorite dishes. The staff and service are phenominal. This is a perfect place for a romantic date, the ambiance is radiant. But be prepared to lick your plate clean. The food is to die for! Thank you Mon Petit! :) Pros: Delicious Food, romantic, great service more

A touch of Paris 5/1/2004

For a Sunday brunch this little place two blocks from Bloomingdales on Lexington Avenue is a real find. The service was efficient and polite, the food was hot and great and the atmosphere very Parisian. A great little touch of Paris on Manhattan's upper East side. Pros: food was hot, food tasty, Service great Cons: , no parking more

A Neighborhood Gem 11/11/2003

I wish I lived in the East 60's. This would be my kitchen and dining room. I have never had a bad meal here. The worst I had was fine, many very good on on occasion they were fantastic. There are no holes in this menu. I wish it were open Sunday nights. What a perfect way to end a weekend! Pros: great steaks, fresh fish, good breakfasts Cons: noisy when crowded, always crowded, i guess noise is good more

Intimate French Flair! 2/12/2003

This is a very small yet intimate French restaurant. The Les Crêpe au Suprèmes de Volailles Crêpes filled with chicken in a Mornay sauce with side of mixed greens was very good. Although there was not enough salad dressing. My husband had the Le Steak au Poivre Flambé shell steak in a brandy, peppercorn, light cream sauce which the sauce is EXCELLENT! I would not recommend this restaurant for large group of 10+ since it's very small and intimate. more

Severely overrated 12/10/2002

What's up with all of these pretentious French places that have overpriced dishes tasting like crap? Dropped $80 for dinner for two and the only half decent thing was a bowl of the frensh onion soup.... Wine is overpriced as well, anything cheaper than $8 a glass is plain vinegar. Pros: overpriced, bad food more

Nice little French bistro/ Reasonable. 8/7/2002

Cute little place. Reminds me of a real Paris bistro. Most dishes were very good, but not all. Appetisers were all very good. My steak was delicious. Shrimp scampi very tasty and a large portion. Calves liver was chewy. Our French waitress was very good -- attentive without being annoying. Really was sorry that the liver was a disappointment and accomodated by offering a different entree. Prices are fair for both food and wine. Pros: Reasonable, Feels like Paris, Food very good more

A touch of Paris in Lex 7/10/2002

I've been 7 years in NYC and go out for lunch and dinner about 4 times a week. I always come back to this charming French Bistro in Lexington Avenue at the corner of 62nd Street. The food is excellent: Good French home cooking that never failed to excite me, served by friendly good looking young (French) people. Great location, lots of windows that allow you to watch the busy street life while you are enjoying a Boef Bourguignon or a Steak au Poivre with a glass of Cabernet. And the prices are right in this family business: Good value for your money. I feel very comfortable in this almost traditional (12 years) place in NYC. Pros: Constantly good food, fair prices, friendly service Cons: at (lunch)times crowd more

The French Connection 6/4/2002

I have never had a nice thing to say regarding a French restaurant until I dined at Mon Petit Cafe. The mood, set by gentle lighting, French music and subtle earth tone decorations, lends too easily to the hushed, conspiratorial whisperings of lovers. The steak frites is my personal dish of choice. I've had it twice now, and it is perfect each time. The steak is moist and tender, and the frites are golden and crispy. This is the dish that even the staunch haters of French food will love, just for the thrill of a perfect steak. Follow it up with an excellent espresso and a little dessert, the fresh berries in whipped cream if they're serving it that evening. I regret only that I never learned of this bistro when I was younger and dating. Mon Petit Cafe is definitely the perfect place for a memorable date. more
