Tabac is my new obsession. I've passed it many times for CLl and CC, but I came for dinner with a friend. She had the steak frites & I had the tuna steak w/ ratatouille and definitely had a foodgasm

A stable neighborhood spot--always our go to. Food is good, predictable, warm and cozy . Live music is always lovely. Prices have increased recently ???? thus is the life of a cobble hill restaurant .

Phil Brown

By far the most lively place on a Monday at 8pm- live music , open doors and windows... Awesome atmosphere and the food looks great. Prices are very competitive. Would make a great date!

Jose Cornier

Great food and service. Love music can be Lloyd but they have out door seating and seating way in the back where the music didn't sound as loud . Great place either way. Get the mussels .

Amber Gardner

My favorite dinner spot in Cobble Hill . You can't go wrong with a goat cheese salad and $5 side of mushroom risotto . Their flourless chocolate cake is also to die for if you have a sweet tooth!

Eric Heras

Love this Cobble Hill nabe fav for the spirit of the Tabacs of France with steak frites or a delicious brunch !

Jenn Muller

Such a great place! 1) got the chicken and it was so good plus a large portion size 2) they have a great reggae band every night except fri and sat 3) cute place 4) friendly and cute bartender !

Tim Crook

Fantastic french bistro / bar food. Perfect late night place as there's people and wine flowing until really late. Great wine selection and places to sit outside when its nice out.

Tatiana Brenizer

Do yourself a favor and try the Ommegang Witte. It's a medium wheat beer with a citrusy flavor - particularly lemon . It had a crispness to it, and is delicious!

Halstead Property

It’s always a fun time with some live music , a French bistro , and a great atmosphere. Make it even better by getting the classic, plump Les Moules Frites soaked in extremely flavorful tomato sauce .

The Corcoran Group

A staple of Cobble Hill . Come for the Steak Frites (with peppercorn sauce ), a Late Night Giant Burger or simply sip a glass of wine and listen to the nightly jazz music .

Christina Chin

Cheese and meat plate is filling, great french place, i feel like french expats go there!

Donald

I’ve tried to like this place. Been here several times but the service isn’t great and the food isn’t anything to write home about. Much better brunch options available in the area.

Signs Visual

"The Baked Clams with ricard, butter, and parsley sauce here is delicious, but also try the Salmon Brochetter with peppercorn sauce . http://www.SignsVisual.com

Eleonora Zorzi

Solid French American. The service can be hit or miss, but the food is always good.

Farrah Bostic

Pleasant spot, music on evenings & weekends, good food & service. A neighborhood staple.

Grover Reed III

Walked into this place on a whim and it didn't disappoint. Blake the bartender is a really cool and professional guy. I didn't eat anything but the beers are cold and tasty. Def worth going again.

Laura Kunkel

Awesome for a late night bite. They have bistro bites for $6 and a massive piles of moules frite for $15. You won't leave hungry or with an empty wallet.

Drewski

Good French onion soup , not so great Nicoise salad , and great steak frites with peppercorn sauce . Live music and outdoor seating are a nice addition.

Drewski

Finally came back for brunch . Solid Bloody Mary , excellent Croque Madame .

Michelle Wiles

Salads (duck and nicoise ) are niceee and filling

Xtina P

Stuffed avocado salad with crab and shrimp was delicious! Live music and steak frites . Classic. Lovely!

JANICE????

Great ambiance, friendly staff , awesome food. Mushroom Hanger Steak is a definite yes!

John Cusumano

Top notch eggs Benedict w/ perfect hollandaise . The Croque Monsieur was unreal. Great coffee .

BK

Great spot in the neighborhood . Get a seat at the bar and enjoy the mussels , frites , and white wine sauce if you can!

Rory Bolger

Amazing staff . Amazing live music . Best well rounded in the hood

Richard Revilla

Make sure to sit outside on a warm Sunday soak in the sun and enjoy a great brunch . Mimosa time. The Cobble Hill crowd will get even better.

Kelly Ahearn

Salmon and couscous=awesome, muscles and fries=awesome plus traditional French. Outdoor seating-be sure to sit facing he street like the Parisians do.

Ron Raphael

Food and atmosphere. Spoke w owner and he was super friendly and fun. Really enjoyed/highly recommend.

Christian Geissendoerfer

Very authentic French bar/bistrot in Brooklyn. Tuna tartare so so, croque monsieur quite good!

Magdalena Welcz

Cash or amex only! Staff is slow but food is good! Steak and duck salad are a way to go!

Rafael Jimenez

Instant favorite Great food, great atmosphere. Don't know if everyday is like this, but on Saturdays the music selection includes Bowie, LCD Soundsystem, Hot Chip , Röyksopp, etc.

Journo Girl

Lunch : casual . The salmon is well-presented but sweet & not in a good way. The burger is typical & a bit over-priced. The tuna tartare is terrific! Menu is narrow.

Sam McCrimson

The eggs tablac is amazing. The ratatouille that is under it adds some pizzaz. You can request the ratatouille alone too!

Carolina Revilla

It was great, cute place, live music , delicious food. The Eggs Bar Tabac were great but not as delicious as Eggs Benedict

Daniel Barnett

This is the the place around the corner. Always the same, always good. Petitioning for bottomless french onion soup saturdays.

Anders Ramsay

This is a full-on Bistro NOT just a breakfast spot ...one of the best dinner spots in all of Bkln, maybe NYC.

Anna D

Love the vibe. Perfect for happy hour or late night food. Haven't tried brunch get. Hot waiters .

Sparkie

Brooklyn (Cobble Hill ) – no more than $6 for morning cocktails and range of $10 – $16 for your meal. Try the appetizers .. $6 for 1 or $24.95 for 5 different apps

Esquire: Definition of a neighborhood eatery . Go for the Burgundy snails, and footie matches on the TV .

Kelwadis Butler

If you like gin , The Aviator is amazing. Be prepared to drink it out of a girlie glass.

James Reggio

The duck salad is out of this world (and surprisingly cheap , given the rest of the menu).

An ideal place to soak up Cobble Hill 's considerable French flavor. Bar Tabac serves a robust selection of French wines and dishes. http://www.nycgo.com/slideshows/must-see-cobble-hill/2

Susan Hudgins

Tamal is the best bartender ever. Order a Don Doc. You will not be sad.

Mashka

Popular and open late . Pretty sad wine list and no heat during winter. Pepper steak is ok. Tuna tartar tastes sushi joint inspired. BUT it's The block to be on Bastille day.
