Super cute and cozy , perfect for date night . My tagliatelle was very rich and a bit too buttery but my partner really enjoyed his burger . The roasted baby lettuce was delicious. Enjoy!

This West Village corner café by the team behind Odeon in Tribeca caters to a very discerning crowd—and it's consistently packed, thanks to its comfortable-classy ambience. Read more

Very cute french cafe and one of the best breakfast spots in nyc. Go early if you want to avoid the wait. I recommend the berries w/ cream and the eggs .

J.R. Reed

Grilled chicken is an outstanding dinner dish - sauce amazing and potatoes cooked perfectly; salmon , grilled tuna burger , and the steak frites are other notable winners. A must try for brunch as well

Elizabeth Burstein

Love the fried egg sandwich and the avocado toast . Brioche French toast is amazing but heavy so share it! Cafe latte also really good.

Paul Sanwald

A lot of the tips are for brunch , but this is also an excellent place for dinner . The lardon salad with egg , paired with a special soup , makes a nice, not too heavy dinner .

Manuela Zoninsein

Tho most of dinner here has lost its special touch, the Artichokes Barigoule & its out-of-this-world lemon-ginger broth make the whole trip worthwhile.

Giulia M

3 course prix fixe dinner is the BEST deal ($35) - Burrata toast , frisée salad , steak frites , tagliatelle , chocolate torte , banana trifle

Mariel Lëmair

Allan's favorite spot. So cozy here—you can drink, eat + talk for hours without noticing! Solid cocktails . For dinner ? Start with the wild market mushrooms + try their octopus dish as an entree ???? .

Stina P.

the brunch wait can be intimidating on sunday, but it moves fast! split the french toast and breakfast sandwich . this cozy neighborhood gem is delicate with natural light and delightfully inviting

Minji Son

My to go spot for breakfast ! Everything is good but love the yogurt with granola the most. It's creamy, rich, and heavenly

Christian Borges

Great service and food. Good place to have some upscale café food in a comfortable , cozy neighborhood spot . Chill for a few hours over a glass of wine .

Jamie Peretzman

Get the brioche French toast ! Comes with fresh fruit and syrup from upstate NY. Also get the side of hash browns ! Comes in the shape of a pie slice!

Ahuva

Not the best brunch in town , and selection is pretty limited, but tasty and pleasant overall. We had the highly recommended Breakfast Club Sandwich with fresh salad . Extra toast will cost you $5(!)

Mia A

this place must be mostly for the vibes…$40 for a tiny soup and a side ????????

Peter Frank

Great brunch (get the BLAT), but, surprisingly, they may have one of the best steak frites in New York. Don't worry if it's crowded ; just go sit at the bar .

Joe Germuska

"If you're out for a stroll near the corner of West 12th and West 4th Streets, this little cart is worth a stop. For its resemblance to banana pudding , the Banana-nilla wafer ice cream is our pick. "

Collin Ng

amazing quaint little place in the west village . AMAZING brunch . The breakfast sandwich was one of the best i've ever had, and the frites were executed perfectly.

Katherine Barna

Still one of the best classic frisée salads in town . Sit at the bar and enjoy a super-horseradishy Bloody Mary .

Shah

The strawberry rhubarb tart is one of the best deserts I've ever had. The hash browns and the eggs Benedict were stellar as well . Highly recommended.

Kiwi Wang

Duck confit hash isn't the lightest of lunches but SO rich and delicious. All things egg related are a win.

Norman Ellis

You can't go wrong with the Duck Confit and the Caramelized Banana Pudding trifle. Both are beyond delish!

Time Out New York

This beloved French stalwart rebooted its menu in February 2013 & unveiled a sky-high CLUNY Burger so impressively jaw-stretching, it seems to challenge the Eiffel Tower. Read more

Alp Ozcelik

Such a lovely place! If you like gin , get the Camomile and Ivy cocktail (St. Vincent is a bit too too for me. It's not as grapefruity as one would expect.)

BuzzFeed

If you like banana pudding , you'll love the Banana Nilla Wafer ice cream at the summer ice cream cart in front of Cafe Cluny. It only appears sporadically, so you must be vigilant.

Steven Y

Great cozy French place for brunch - try the brioche french toast and the breakfast club sandwich ; be sure to come early to avoid the lines

Hannah B

Amazing brunch , one of the best eggs benedicts I've ever had. Get a seat at the bar (never a wait) and enjoy the people watching !

Genevieve Crain

Our go-to brunch place in NYC. Food is amazing, hip without the pretension. Get there before 11:30p or expect a wait. Baby/stroller-friendly.

Brant McQuitty

Cozy bistro with a perfect burger . The servers are somewhat aloof, but look smart in the St. James striped shirts .

Melissa Rosenthal

Great west village brunch spot . Try the frisée salad with a poached egg and bacon lardons.

Taralê Wulff

Honestly....I've only ever had the tuna burger . It's amazing and until I grow tired of it, I will keep having it. It's not boring, it's just THAT good. ????

Theory

NY. One of our favorite brunch spots , Café Cluny brings elements of a French café’s menu and mood to the big city . The Cluny Burger add bacon is a must-have dinner entrée .

Tom M.

Checkout the ice cream cart out front -- rotating flavors, oh so good like this cappuccino chocolate chip

Sofia Case

Brunch is a wait. But oh, the short rib hash !

Jastine Kho

Cozy ambience , attentive waiters , delicious food. Perfect place for brunch .

AskMen

Café Cluny brings a slice of Parisian bistro chic to the neighborhood . Its naturalist theme, replete with taxidermy displays & wall of clay pigeons provide a quirky backdrop to a delicious lunch . Read more

Came for breakfast and ordered an oatmeal . It was massive and delicious. Wish there was outdoor seating

Daniel Powell

Classics done right. Somewhat pricey but great location, solid eats, and comfy vibe.

James Kiernan

Pricey but it remains a West Village classic. Order fries and oysters with some vino and enjoy!

Jane Dong

Brussel sprouts (maple and pancetta ) highlight of my meal. And the banana pudding there - definitely a great must have dessert

Vicky Mitz

One of my favourite brunch spots . Small, cosy French Restaurant with some great food. Try the French Toast !

Amanda Jabes

A small slice of Europe in the west village with an organic American twist. Try the açaí bowl !

Ben Haddock

Lovely, quaint place. We went for dinner and the atmosphere was great. Steak for mains was really good.

Sam Madden

Short rib hash was amazing, as were the eggs Benedict , and egg sandwich club. If you're in the West Village you can't go wrong here

Alyssa

Great breakfast spot in the West Village , loved the breakfast egg and cheese sandwich and the fries are perfectly crisp.

Ranu Rajkarnikar

Beef tartare is amazing! Sit at the bar with a martini and tartare for a great solo meal.

Jess Huey

Cozy cute cafe in the west village ! Great for a weekend brunch !

Alp Ozcelik

Their asparagus appetizer is amazing (with beef bacon and pickled mushrooms !) the mozzarella appetizer is melted so don't expect a ball!

Dan Roberts

Friend chicken sandwich is incredible. Get it with the side of fries , which are thin and covered with herbs and delicious.
