Neighbourhood gem
Great for brunch
Charming

Scenes of Alsace come to the forefront when walking into our upper east side corner jewel. From the curved pewter bar decorated with suspended antique seltzer bottles, to our colorfully tiled floors; our cozy restaurant evokes the essence of Alsace at every turn.

The Alsatian tart is now only half the size from it was used to be! the sauerkraut in the choucroute garni had no flavor. Food quality has deteriorated, perhaps the chef was changed. Need to pay attention to seasoning and portion size.

Lunch was enjoyable and the atmosphere and service were fine. Prices are slightly better than other similar restaurants. It has the style, ambiance and quality of a good neighborhood "go to".

Cafe D'Alsace is lovely in many ways. Food, service, overall setting. But when the rooms start filling up, it's extremely noisy and hard to hear your table mates.
