Lafayette Grand Café & Bakery

The sprawling French brasserie from Andrew Carmellini and team is everything an all day restaurant should be. It's great for a relaxed breakfast , a business lunch , or a steak frites dinner . Read more

Everything is good at Lafayette. From the cocktails to the oysters to the baked goods to the lavishly presented slices of birthday cake , they always do a great job. Pictured is the Niçoise salad .

Amazing French pastries , breads and baked goods , great atmosphere and solid lunch/brunch options including this brisket burger w/ crispy fries . Prices aren't low but the experience lives up to them.

The atmosphere, decor, service and food are fantastic! I highly recommend the Grilled Asparagus and Frisée Salad to start and the Duck as an entree. Pastas good, too. Big wine selection . #nyceats

The brunch menu includes many of the standout dishes from the breakfast , lunch , and dinner menus. You can get a foie gras terrine , salads , soups , omelettes , steak frites , and tripes Bourguignon.

As far as $14 cocktails go, the saisonniere is really quite special. Oysters , asparagus , and octopus as starters! Steak frites = real deal. Finish with the chocolate-almond torte and then die happy.

At Lafayette you and your dining companions will feel relaxed yet tres chic , regardless of whether you’re lingering over coffee and pain au chocolat , or enjoying lamb chop tagine in the dining room. Read more

A great bistro . A bit of a pretentious vibe but the food is good. I like to take meetings in the front or outside with just a coffee and a pastry . Also they have two soft boiled eggs for breakfast <3

Had a late night meal here when every other restaurant was just serving drinks. Sat at the bar and had a great chat with the bartenders and the kitchen staff food was excellent drinks were excellent.

The fresh smoked salmon Eggs Benedict at Lafayette in NoHo is served on a brioche bun . The accompanying toast was perfect to soak up the remaining yolk and rich sauce! Read more

Andrew Carmellini’s brasserie is a love letter to all things French, from the expertly baked brioche and pain au chocolat for sale at the in-house boulangerie, to the Bloody Marie at brunch . Read more

The gigantic soft-shell crab drew actual moans of bliss from diners. Masterful salads , excellent wood-grilled local trout . For birthdays, they wheel out a “macaron tower” that spews flame. Read more

One of my fave new brunch spots ! Everything I've had is delicious. The pamplemousse is a perfect brunch cocktail and the lemon pancakes are awesome. The restaurant is spacious and beautiful as well .

The French toast is just plain delicious and unique with the pineapple . Great twist on a Bloody Mary , try the bloody Marie ! The use of cork and other materials throughout the design of the interior A+

A great choice for breakfast , brunch , lunch , dinner ... or just a quick snack from the bakery . Everything is amazing on the menu, so you really can't go wrong. (The pancakes are especially good!)

Big spacious place. Pricey menu for what it is but there are some solid choices. The duck is phenomenal with pumpkin and pomegranate . Steaks are great. Oysters on point. Cocktails quite yummy.

The Benedict and lemon berries pancakes were one of the best I ever had, and I had many! Defiantly will be back to this place..

Highly recommend the charcuterie plate . It's sizable and comes with a great group of tasty items including rabbit , duck mousse , 2 pâtés, and much more. Unbeatable for the price; great starter for 2!

Stick to the bakery and try the almond croissant . It's like a crispy cookie on the outside with creamy almond paste on the inside between layers of flaky, buttery pastry . Absolute perfection.

for dinner , share the little gem salad , coquilles, sunchokes, & duck au poivre. this matured French bistro in NoHo will never disappoint no matter the meal. it is chic , warm, and uninterrupted

RW menu is worth it. salmon croquette and mussel for appetizer is the bomb! Mushroom risotto and skate is also not bad. Desserts are okay but nothing impressive. Also try the cheese , you have to!

I love everything about this place. Beautifully designed, and very Parisian. My favorites from the menu are the frisée salad , homemade garlic sausage , pumpkin risotto , and the pork loin .

I've never had a bad meal here. Brunch , lunch and dinner have all been amazing. Grab petit fours on way out from bakery . Better than anything in dessert menu .

Best croissants ! Toast with 2 boiled eggs perfect for a simple breakfast ! Their granola is amazing! Ask if they add fresh mint to the yoghurt&berries and guaranteed best breakfast (portions are big).

The item you will see on each table is Lafayette’s boulangerie basket, which comes with a selection of pastries and bread from the very talented pastry chef Jennifer Yee. Read more

The Chilled Tomato Soup and the Duck Au Poivre makes for a perfect dinner . We always find it hard to decide between the Caramel Popcorn Bombe & the Cheese Course. Why not have both! Oui, Chef !

Perfect for date night or dinner with the parents. Service was A+ and both of our waitresses recommendations were great: the duck and spaghetti nicoise were both great and had enough to take home!

Great place to catch up with friends or family. You'll find something on the menu for everyone. The soft scramble in puff pastry is delicious.

Just stumbled upon this place & feel like I've stepped into Paris. Baguettes are the real deal here. Truly hard to find in NY. Iced cwaffee better than my usual haunt. Will be back for dinner for sure

A very good option for having a brunch with friends or family. The place is really nice and the neighborhood is great for walking after eating.

Eggs are delicious but definitely a pricy brunch - not dying to go back for anything. Nice service and outdoor seating .

Lafayette makes our list of top Brunch places in the city with some amazing pastries and lush bistro eats that will bring out the inner Carrie Bradshaw in anyone. Read more

The perfect Mother’s Day brunch ! Basket of pastries , half dozen oysters , lemon ricotta pancakes , beet salad . All amazing and well worth price of admission. Enjoy!

Lovely ambience. Lemon ricotta pancakes light and fluffy. Salmon Benedict was yummy. The runaway hit - almond croissant . Will be back for the pastries .

What took me so long to come here? Kicking myself! Only had chance to try the black linguine and duck , but both were great. Need to get back soon for that chicken !

To try: tartines , lardon-rich salad frisée , squid-ink fettuccine with shellfish and chorizo , risotto with mushrooms & asparagus , country pâté , foie gras terrine , topped off with a Sazerac .

What isn’t good here? Had the oxtail ravioli & it was delicious. Loved every bit of my meal, especially the bunny dessert .

The Nicoise salad is outstanding. One of, if not the, best in NYC

Part bakery , part bistro , Lafayette serves an array of French-inspired dishes. Opt for the Salmon Benedict or Lemon Pancakes for brunch , and don't forget to share the Boulangerie Basket.

The Sunday brunch rush happens between 1045 and 1105. Get here early if you can't get a res and chances are you can snag a walk-in table. Top 5 brunch in NYC

Bringing Paris to NYC. Great for breakfast , lunch , dinner , brunch on the weekends, or pop in to the bakery for some Caramel Sale macaroons or an almond croissant ! Oui! Oui!

Fancy yet cozy restaurant with delicious French food , great coffee , great pastries and excellent service. Worth all the recommendations.

One of the few brasseries in town using good coffee , Lafayette pulls tasty shots of Stumptown Hairbender, which can be enjoyed along with their scrumptious baked goods in the front bakery area.

Yes, it's great for brunch but the cafe in the front is perfect for a coffee meeting or a break from your desk during the day.

Despite shaky service (slow drink order, wrong food brought out), everything was delicious and the atmosphere was terrific. Great sazerac to drink. Wonderful bread . Good pasta dish (fleur de soleil).

Second chance. Atmosphere is amazing, food is FAIR . Pastas are good, meats are OK, apps & bread basket is the best part. Get the Frisée salad w bacon , beef tartare , short rib ravs....not impressed.

it looks like it's just a giant restaurant , but they also have a cute and cozy coffee shop !

highly recommend the venison with charred earthy mushroom and the smokey trout with savoy cabbage . for dessert - get the gateau marjolaine - a decadent multilayered chocolate cake

The vegetarian offering has a veritable tricolore theme, too, with layers of fresh mozzarella , stalky broccoli rabe that adds a delightful snap, and a hearty buffer of peperonata.
