Best French Restaurants in Elmhurst

Excellent dining experience at Jacques Brassiere this evening. I enjoyed duck confit with polenta and creme brulee for dessert. My guests enjoyed roasted chicken, tuna tartare and salads. The table was large, comfortable and well positioned for both lovely views and conversation. Service was superb. Thank you.

Brought my parents here for a post-Christmas dinner and they loved it. Good decorations, music at an acceptable volume, amazing food and an extensive wine list. Would recommend.

What a lovely Christmas dinner! The food is always dependably delicious, beautifully plated, and served with warmth and genuine attention to detail. I never tire of eating here. Hidden on a small side street and tucked back a bit from the sidewalk, it escapes the notice of passersbys strolling on First Avenue. Almost like a speakeasy, you have to “know” to go there. I almost want to keep this place to myself but it is such a gem and deserves to be recognized as one of the best restaurants in NYC, not just on the UES.

I am not a restaurant critic, not by a long shot, but I think the dinner was delicious, the service very very good, and the noise level reasonable.

Bistro Vendome was a wonderful! I've walked passed it before but didn't know the surprises hidden behind its small entryway. Located in a townhouse, there are several levels. Each one being cozy and inviting. Because of the different levels in smaller spaces, it makes it easy to talk to your guests with out loud conversations around you. The food was absolutely delicious; my party of four each had different appetizers, entrees and desserts. No disappointments, and the aroma of the food throughout the restaurant leave you thinking I'll order that dish the next time. The staff is impeccable! Truly attending to your every need. Before you even think I need more....whatever, there they are at your table. And, the prices in this French restaurant are very reasonable. Definitely going back and you should try it too, it will not disappoint!
