Truly excellent food in a cosy, lively setting. And for dessert: the best sticky toffee pudding dessert I have ever had (and I’ve had many). Highly recommended.

Although we usually go to Odeon, one of it’s partner restaurants, Cafe Cluny did not disappoint. The menus are almost identical and the restaurant is smaller but atmosphere is much more quaint and reminiscent of a true neighborhood Parisian restaurant. We went on a quiet weekday afternoon but considering the size, I would suspect evenings and weekends to be a bit more busy and loud. Like Odeon, the food was prepared as expected, and the staff was very polite and helpful.

It's a fun West Village eatery but if you are looking to have conversation or a business dinner, this is definitely not the place. The food was prepared well. The service was decent. The first thing they said when we arrived for our reservations was we need the table by x hour which I completely understand. But, from that moment on, we felt rushed with our eye on the clock the entire meal. That added a bit of stress to the experience. We didn't even order dessert and coffee because we knew we had to give up the table. The vibe is nice and I probably would go back for a casual dinner but wouldn't be a go to for any other reason.

Lovely atmosphere, candlelit and warm. Loud and buzzy but not so much that it was off putting. Wonderful food and warm kind server!

We had a wonderful dinner at Cafe Cluny. Our server Alexa was attentive and careful to ensure I did not have any issues due to my food allergies. The restaurant has a great ambiance and the food was excellent. Everyone I interacted with who works there was super nice. I definitely plan to return.
