Dirty French NY is a bistro experience created by Major Food Group, located in the Ludlow Hotel on Manhattan’s storied Lower East Side. The menu takes its culinary cues from the timeless dishes of classic French tradition and gives them an exciting, “dirty” twist using modern techniques and bold, thrilling flavors. In the same way the dishes “come alive” with flavor, the restaurant itself swells with energy as the hours lead into late night, featuring some of New York’s greatest playlists and a staff equally as vibey.

For any questions regarding an existing or future reservation, please email reservations@dirtyfrench.com

    Great food and service! But the seats are uncomfortable and they play a weird 80’s and 90’s pop music mix. Do we really need Rick Astley to go with splurging on truffles??? Uh…no!

    Service was great. Food was meh. Wine choices were meh. The salad I ordered was smothered in dressing and could barely taste the lettuce. The main courses, chicken and filet of sole, were so drenched in butter, it made the dish taste way too heavy. French fries were soggy and tasteless.

    I came for the duck and it was as amazing as I thought it would be. The cocktail was delicious and I don’t drink, normally. Bread was perfection and the oysters were superb. Beignets we’re almost as delicious as Cafe Du Monde overall a perfect dinning experience . The staff made my experience dining alone delightful.
