As a gal who has spent a fair amount of time in France, it is wonderful to see that most of their servers can speak French! Decent and inexpensive bloody, cute outdoor seating , and cash only .

Elke Nominikat

Oyster Happy Hour from 5 to 7 ($1 each!) and all night long on Mondays w/ different kinds of oysters even. French wines $9.

Christina Lu

Happy hour oysters ! Love how they have an outdoor seating area . They also change their drink menus regularly and it's always good.

Grace Yoon

Start your boozy Sunday brunch right with their $20 pitcher mimosa and scrumptious eggs Benedict or croque madame . You won’t regret this.

Stina P.

Best French food and service in this part of Brooklyn. Come here for fun, fries and fine frickin French dudes

Nicholas Doyle

Gorgeous back yard , delicious food and cocktails . The bread is truly phenomenal. Very much like someone dropped a duplicate of Maison Premiere in Bushwick.

The cocktails are delicious. Great backyard , perfect to enjoy yummy French food .

Comfy . Quick bite to eat. The fried Pancake is delicious! The place is small but the food is great and the prices are affordable .

Philipp Nass

Food is awesome. Especially the pan cakes . Waiters are also very friendly . One of my brunch go-to places in Bushwick.

Sheila Cox

I highly recommend this restaurant . It is not easy to find. It's on a growing area of bushwick. The food and service are great. I'll be coming again :-)

Ryan Turner

A bright spot for the area. I'm glad to see this place move in. Great French onion soup and hanger steak . Try one of their cocktails .

The french toast was great and I loved the backyard garden they have.

Everything I've had is good here (duck confit hash , mominette pancake , Norwegian Benedict, etc)

Alex Varone

Enjoyed the chocolate cake for dessert !

Sabrina Wang

i got the goat cheese croissant for veggie option and it is fantastic.

Chris

Real nice place, coq au vin is my recommendation. Mominette burger is good, but IMO doesn't compete with the best.

Tanya Taveras

Best oysters !Ratatouille is very good too!!

Ross Velazquez

Beware the brunch pancake . It takes an hour to make and easily feeds 3.

J B

Cute little French place. Good for brunch . The Norwegian on rye was excellent.

Sara Jordan

Small, quaint and romantic . Oysters ! Try any of the gratins . Garden seating .

Love the low key patio at the back, awesome oyster happy hours !

Stephen McAllister

Great service and a lovely hidden walled garden out the back

There's a oyster happy hour every evening and all day on Monday. Cash only , unfortunately.

Really fast and friendly service . Great eggs . Perfect addition to the hood along Knickerbocker.

On point all the time. One of Bushwick’s finest legacy dining establishments...

Tom Meng

The manager is awesome! The poached eggs over English Muffin is a must!

Carin Zakes

Nice cozy atmosphere . Small drinks, over-fried fries but good steak .

Rebecca Atwood

Charming french bistro with the trappings you'd expect, and a beautiful backyard .

Rebecca Yi

Escargot was great - not salty. Can’t recommend the steak but the duck breast was good. Cute interior.

Catherine Thompson

Patio area is lovely. Cocktails and mussels are delicious!

Raul C.

$1 Oysters are some of the best in Bushwick!

Varun Prasad

Delicious Eggs Benedict and variants during Sunday brunch .

Fati Hussain

Get the fried chicken here. Sounds random for a French place but it's delicious.

Bre

Come here after midnight for the best happy hour in the 'hood: $5 cocktails til 2am!

Orpheus Pat

Just come here, the way to describe this place is all the inappropriate things you would say after the most mind blowing "session" ever.

Ashley Williams

jackie the bartender recommends bourbon in your bloody. she's right.

diane jung

Brunch and dinner are great and well priced

Brendan M

Happy hour oysters are usually pretty solid - can be a miss though

Kristin P

it depends who is working at the time you go. sometimes it is exceptional sometimes not so much.

Alice Mancino

Try the eggs florentine :-)

E Dward

Went for brunch . Solid options. Good coffee .

Jon Lee

The duck confit hash is unusually good brunch

Scott Ingles

Lovely patio and $1 happy hour oysters but extremely disappointing dinner . The tuna nicoise was tough and bland. The burger was overcooked. The specialty cocktail was unremarkable.

Arti Villa

Love the oysters !!! ♥️♥️♥️

My happy place. Get the crumbley ham and cheese biscuit and an iced coffee. The cinnamon roll and salted chocolate chip cookies are also stellar. - Natalie Young
