casual but energetic vibe. lovely patio out back. fish dishes are hits, pretty sublime burger , love the brunch . the radishes in black olive butter? not so much. on the weekend, make the reservations .

Eater

Parties of nine to 12 are required to call the restaurant to reserve . Guests can choose items from the menu like steak frites for dinner , trout po' boy for lunch , and crème brûlée toast for brunch . Read more

I worked for the Ritz Carlton for ten years and I can attest to the level of professional service this place provides. The food is also noteworthy. Highly recommend the crème brûlée French toast .

Chris Vodola

The Avocado Tartine is not only delicious, but a killer value at 11 bucks. Also, try the cold brew coffee on tap!

J Crowley

Same owner as Buttermilk Channel so it's gonna be great. Apps: half lobster and sardines w/ bread + butter. Main: Pappardelle w/ oxtail ragu . Love the walnut bitters in Normandy Old Fashioned.

Danielle Purslow

We loved everything about French Louie! Great ambience - perfect for a romantic date - and the food was delicious. The steak frites and mussels normande were SO GOOD????????????

Stina P.

the backyard is great for brunch . beautiful decor, equally amazing food - for brunch , get the burger royale. for dinner , try steak tartare or oysters to start

House-smoked sardines from Rhode Island with rye are just the thing to start dinner . Yes, the giant slab of butter is studded with dulse, a kind of red algae, and yes, it's totally delicious. Read more

Sandra Rubinchik

Great place to bring parents: they can feel trendy and you can eat free.

Noah Weiss

Great brunch . Good vibe, outdoor seating , and a more interesting menu than normal. The trout po boy and the socca egg dish both standouts.

Ms Helene

Socca (chickpea pancake ) with eggs , fregola & spiced cauliflower $14. Avocado tartine w egg $10. Cappuccino soy.

Olivier S.

One of my best restaurant in Brooklyn. Cauliflower soup , snails, mussels and fries , glass of Languedoc Roussillon, profiteroles - feels like home!

Joe D

The main portions are just right so you can get a side and not be too stuffed. Get French and try their dynamite beef tartare . So good with the mustard seed and caper bits!

Jess Matley

Amazing experience at this place! Interesting and delicious menu. Fabulous staff ! Gorgeous space, inc the backyard . Got a seat straight away at 11am Sat morning! Just perfect!!

Romain D.

Mezcal and pisco cocktails aren't that common in French restaurants ... if you can't handle the chartreuse , get the Chespirito... All apps and dishes were on point, too!

brooklyn chuck

Sit at the bar to feel extra spoiled and attended to for dinner . Every dish we had was excellent, and the bartender 's knowledge of wine pairings was spot on.

Miguel de Leon

Gougeres Gougeres are good for your soul but probably not your heart because they're just cheese and bread and wholesome goodness and oh my god I'll have three more orders to myself

Jimmy Peralta

This place doesn’t disappoint! Amazing food and service! Very popular so be prepared to wait if you don’t have a reservation for brunch on the weekend.

Fauzia Dawood

Had the $35 Monday menu and it was phenomenal. Steak frites was amazing and the backyard garden is the perfect quiet spot . Can't wait to go back!

Sandro Pugliese

Staff , service and ambiance (back garden !) were all amazing. Cocktails ruled. Appies and first course were wonderful. The mains were a miss (avoid the awful Grand Socca )

F. Bastard

Distinctive, seasonal food . Friendly service . Gorgeous garden . Solid cocktails . Not too pricey . Open all day. An all around classic.

Shah

Burger the size of your head. Same with the fried chicken and the po' boy sandwich . All delicious. Highly recommended.

Linda Chow

The socca is so good! It's a chickpea flour pancake with eggs and freekeh over it. Not your typical dish for brunch .

Daniel McDonough

The 28 day dry aged steak was ridiculously good. A little pricey but worth every penny. The fries are also really good.

A.J. Van Nostrom

Great brunch , friendly staff very on top of service, just right sized portions (not fatso American super sized, sorry), delicious coffee !

Joanna Flamm

Glass of champagne . Mackerel appetizer . Bavette Steak Frites . Profiteroles. Perfect service. Die happy.

Jon Resnik

Inventive menu in need of some executional fine-tuning. Beautiful room (light fixtures alone are worth the trip) with friendly service .

Carmen N

Delicious. Cocktails , brunch , etc. try ouefs Sacco, avocado tartine , or the brûlée French toast .

Duygu Basaran

I came here after reading great reviews on foursquare, yelp & google. The atmosphere is great, we sat back in the garden . Maybe we were just unlucky but we waited for more than an hour for our food.

 Jonathan Libov 

Burger and chilled corn soup both very good. Cordon Bleu is rich but also very good.

Jeeba Williams

You’ll leave $50 poorer per person and still somehow be hungry. I’ve gone for brunch and dinner and have had to find something to eat afterwards

Eat This NY

Good place for brunch . Egg scrambles are strangely presented but taste good - especially the mushroom !

Sparkie

The menu includes buckwheat crepes , chicken cordon bleu , and socca , a chickpea flatbread served with pole beans, eggs , and freekah.

Marion P

Fantastic cauliflower soup , snails, mussels and s'mores profiteroles. Can't wait to return!

KE

Cute space, good food, service took - forever - for lunch (and we were the first ones seated in the restaurant ). We waited a whole hour for lunch to come with no one checking in.

Zhenshuo Fang

Great brunch ! Socca and French Louie are both amazing!

Jon Chan

The trout po' boy is pretty dang good for lunch . Tangy and savory, filling, comes with a salad so you don't hate yourself.

Chet Mancini

Great patio out back. Good value French brunch .

Sabrina Majeed

The socca is a healthy, delicious, and unique dish. Just ask for hot sauce in addition and go to town .

Eric Shih

Creme brulee french toast was a fantastic and creative way of preparing the dish.

Rebecca Katz

French toast and cold brew were incredible! Fast and charming staff . Will return!

Ra'mon-Lawrence Coleman

Absolutely amazing food and service. Thoroughly enjoyed a date night out my my new husband!!! See you again soon French Louie!

Brian Ballan

Tasting Table told me to get the steak frites (with anchovy butter) and the smoked sardines . I'm more excited about the sardines Read more

Rachel Sheppard

Come here for the creme brûlée french toast . A crowded but delightful brunch experience.

Cooper Smith

Steak frites are where it's at, but don't forget to get some fried artichokes for the table

Finley Bomer-Lawson

An odd location, but absolutely lovely. Food was incredible (try the gnocchi ) and our server could not have been better. Be aware, it's a tad pricey .

Brian Masefield

Great brunch . Get the "Everything Mary" cocktail .

Crystal

Lovely brunch options - steak tartare and Bloody Marias are great.

Pro Zac

Get the fried sardines and try the manoir cider they have by the bottle.

No Longer Empty

With a glass of wine -Sardines , dark bread and kelp butter! Perfect for cold day.
