Yatenga

Great for dinner in the summer. Sit outside (side-by-side, Parisian style) for people watching . Gambas al' ajillo are very tasty. If starving, the Mac'N'Cheese will hold you over until the entrees.

You can't go wrong with bottomless mimosas and Shakshuka on Sunday's. friendly staff and outdoor seating for the nice days in Harlem.

Yatenga , is legend in central/west Harlem.The west african family that owns and operates the venue has a solid interpretation of traditional French bistro !

The Francophiles say it isn't French, then again, they say that about everything. A casual spot which is a perfect "hide & seek" from the madness of Shrine next door. Great for drinks and lite bites.

The best mac-n-cheese you will ever have. Get it without the ham - unless you like it like that. The Zataar shrimp is incredible. Four HUGE shrimp , perfectly seasoned and grilled. Both well priced.

Great vibe, and fantastic food. In fact we thought the dinner menu was fine dining level — almost doesn’t fit the causal seating! We’ll definitely be back.

My neighbourhood standby for late dinners and late brunches (late for others but on time for me). Hits: Steak au poivre , chicken paillard special, the soups , oeufs bénédicts, pain perdu .

Great late-night vibe here. Good music and great service. They accommodate your needs as much they can.

A rustic , appealing spot with whitewashed walls & West African décor, the funky-yet-traditional approach is best seen in dishes like salade Nicoise , escargot and coq au vin . High energy , great music .

This is the neighbor meeting/eating place, the food is good the people are friendly and networking happens here! What more can you ask for?

Mustafa is the most gracious, humble & efficient waiter . Tuna tar tar , tuna nicoise , shrimp app.. Amazing. Service & food is amazing!! A++++!!

happy hour drinks , fries , shakshuka , outdoor seating , music

Red wine braised lamb shank , sauteed spinach , sauteed mushrooms . Everything was great, perfect for a cold night.

Yatenga is just wonderful. Great food, friendly and warm service . Try the specials--the chef really puts out some amazing food.

The duck breast and Mac and Cheese are the best! This place feels really authentic--and its nice to finally dine in a French resto in NYC where the servers actually speak French!

Pain perdu = excellent with pommes sautées, but bring your own maple syrup . L'Eté Indien I love, perhaps because I identify with the name, perhaps just because it's good.

Joe Hammond stops by sometimes. A true Rucker Park basketball legend.

Brunch and Dinner here is amazing. Great atmosphere; a bit cramped so try and arrive early.

Fantastic foods, fantastic prices, fantastic place! Try Tuna Tartar - you gonna be so happy...

Great steack sandwich and cheap cocktails

Ask for the dressing on the side if you like a crisp salad .

The service has dramatically increased and the food is still unbelievable. I love this place. I definitely recommend stopping by.

I enjoy the stopping by after a long day at work . The food is great and the service is excellent. I give it a +10*****

Great Brunch place in Harlem. Sidewalk Cafe seating on a nice day or evening. GREAT Bloody Mary !!

Friendly staff . Creative dishes.

I still dream about the Mac and cheese

The apple tart is insane! The seafood pasta is delicious too!

Lamb shank is amazing! Share with a friend or come very hungry...

The salmon is delicious, the best dish there

Warm crusted goat cheese salad .

Great for meeting up with friends for brunch or dinner .

Great food and atmosphere!

The menu is small, but each item is delicious and thoughtfully prepared!

My favorite restaurant uptown!! The best French Onion Soup I have had!

Great brunch spot !

Quaint little place with rustic wood tables and exposed pipes. The people are nice and make you feel welcome, like Chris. Enjoy a caraffe of wine or a meal.

The multi-everything mix of people and cultures is alone worth the visit.

Tuna tartar !

Great vibe. Good. People.

Good local place with great food

Get the steak sandwich during brunch ! Game-changer.

Vibe. Food. Faces.

Very good tuna tartar . The Pirate beer is not for the faint of heart...really strong, really good!

Big portions . And delicious :)

The shrimp app is great!

Two words: Tuna Tartar . Delicious!!

Best French toast this side of 125th street

The menu has changed and not for the better. Avoid the Boston lettuce.

sit by the window and enjoy the $4 wine

Get the steak sandwich . Forget the other recommendations.
