Best French American Restaurants in Belleville

CL is an old gem. In fact, I can't even remember the first time I went, and recently, started going there for breakfast. Service is always great (was exceptionally great today) and food is never disappointing. It's a rare eatery in NYC that has survived and thrived. I saw today it was voted one of the best by Vogue but I did not need that confirmation. Please stay wonderful as you are.

Great service and ambience. Only one step from outstanding food. Very worth the trip.

Such a great place ! I had brunch here and ordered the Chorizo which was recommended as a frittata and it was amazing. They were very attentive to my dog as well and the pup meal was perfect for my Labrador who is hungry all the time. If you want to try their cocktails i would strongly recommend the Hachiko, Lucy or the Snoop Dog which is perfect for this cold weather. I will definitely come back to have dinner as well, for their Yappy hour.

We had a great time. The tea, food and staff was wonderful.

Great atmosphere in the main dining room of the classic Cafe Chelsea. Our waitress was very nice, welcoming, and attentive. My steak frites was good. The martini was mixed well, but I would have preferred a classic martini glass rather than a coupe.
