First time at the Berczy and we will be going back. Beautiful space and atmosphere. The live piano is a plus and reminds me of one of our favourite bistros in NY. We had a brunch menu and it was delicious. Our server Nikita was great snd we had a nice chat with Luca. All in all a great time and a nice gem in the neighborhood. Thank you !!

This place did not disappoint. Excellent food, everything we had (4 people sharing) was just amazing. Service was great, some good recommendations from our server on how many dishes to share. Save room for dessert too - a small but mighty dessert menu! One small criticism was that we felt a bit rushed at the end, they had a booking after us at 9:30pm - tables of 4 have 2 hours I guess, but we weren’t seated until 7:45 for our own booking. It just felt like it brought the dinner to a very abrupt end!

Great atmosphere for a date night! The jazz band really set the mood. This is the perfect place for a romantic dinner before a stage play. They could use extra staff seating people as there was a lineup even if you had reservations.

We went for brunch in Christmas Day. Hot, robust coffee brought out fresh. Good variety of pastries, omelettes and hot sandwiches. Graciously served, unhurried, and everything was served hot. And a crazy good value.
