Warmly elegant, Frenchette features a veteran kitchen serving a dining room that melds Old World glamour with New York energy. From breakfast through late-night, chefs Lee Hanson and Riad Nasr make the most of their kitchen’s rotisserie and Robata grill with daily specials crowning a menu that features Duck Frites, Turbot for Two and Spit-Roasted Lobster, all approached with a lighter, more contemporary touch. Aperitif-based cocktails are served at the striking pewter bar and an impressive selection of natural wines is on offer.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: The snazziest French bistro in NYC popped open in 2018, winning a James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant, along with rave reviews and national buzz for chefs Lee Hanson and Riad Nasr. Frenchette’s dramatic black exterior reveals a warm wooden bar and cozy leather banquettes with remarkably friendly staff poised to welcome you at the door. Join the fans feasting on oysters and sausages, pommes frites, pillowy gnocchi Parisienne, and showstopping pistachio Paris-Brest, alongside the acclaimed natural wine list.

    Bad vibe city. The food is excellent. The room is charming. And most of the staff was sweet. However, I arrived with a party of six at 8:30 to celebrate my son‘s birthday. It was a Monday night and apparently the restaurant thought it was cool to rush us through a very very expensive meal. I suspect they’re getting too many tourists and think people don’t know the difference… we moved our seating position almost immediately after arrival, mostly so my husband could hear. We were then lectured by our waiter about changing  our seats. Really? Then the birthday boy was served an undrinkable martini. And believe me we know a lot about our martinis. The excellent Duck entrée was only available for two of us. It featured a béarnaise sauce. Which we were not served until we asked. I had requested a birthday candle to be served on one of the desserts we ordered (and paid for). That didn’t happen until I had to ask for it at the table . Hardly a cheerful little surprise. All of these annoying and inadequate experiences were punctuated by our waiter coming to our table looking at his watch. I’ve lived in Tribeca for more than 30 years. I suppose every server in every restaurant have a bad night, but I highly suggest you take your money to the Odeon.

    Exquisite service and ambience and perfectly presented food. The Levain pancake is the perfect size for my friend and I to share with just the right amount of warm very good maple syrup and the perfect square of butter on top.

    I have no idea why people rate this restaurant so high. The food was mediocre at best, the ambiance was loud. Table was uncomfortable and food is overpriced

    Was a good lunch- but bread is $12 extra for the table which, just out of principle, I'm not paying. Steak tartar was on the smaller side, but good. Most of the meals saw come out, including mine, or accompanied with these overly salty, oily, very thin potato chips which may as well be nothing. Fish soup was really tasty- i didn't notice and fish in it, but maybe there was. Only thing disappointing was the oeuf mayonnaise - it's done so much better at upscale restaurants in Paris. Dessert was the best part of the meal - the paris pistache was great- perfect for two. Overall was good, but pricey for what it is.
