Best French Restaurants in Manhasset

We had a wonderful dining experience at Chez Fifi last night as part of our Valentine’s weekend celebrations.The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the blue cheese martini was one of the best I’ve had in the city!

Came to Port Washington from Garden City on a recommendation of a "nice little bistro" in the French tradition...Had a very early dinner before 6PM on a typically busy Valentines Day. All liquid refreshments were better than the average fare at many French restaurants that I've dined in and the service was particularly attentive and cordial. It was good to hear Maurice Chevalier and Edith Pilaf when we could early in the evening, but that was quickly turned down by the ambient noise and chatter. So much for the early ambiance. Escargot, French onion soup and mussels (anise Pinod) all absolutely excellent as was the Chocolate mousse....Even the smallest detail of warm banquet was wonderful for absorbing any of the rich sauces. The main dishes and chalk board specials were more than plenty for any taste.....My only difficulty was the table tops (sizes) were too small for the dishes that sit on them and the dining area was too small for the number of tables. As such elbowing a dining neighbor had potential to create conflict as things were tight. My recommend: remove a table or two if not anticipating a full dining fair and raise the music.

I dined here for the first time to celebrate my husband’s birthday with my mother in law. It was all of our first time at Cafe d’Alsace. The food was nothing short of amazing. For appetizers we got steak tartar, terrine de canard and homemade gnocchi. The gnocchi was so good we got a second bowl to share. I got the Grilled Scottish Salmon, my husband got Steak Frites (the fries are amazing!) and my MIL got Canard A L’Orange which was very tender and cooked to perfection. Apart from the food the staff was wonderful as well!

Great Chef and staff. Specials or regular items, the same wonderful eating experience. Half bottles of wine for those with different tastes.

Everything top notch here. Servers all available, sparking looking room well set up. Food from warmed bread to our brook trout almondine were just wonderful! A staple for us. Appreciate their late hours, much needed after a show at Tilles!
