“There is street side parking but good luck getting it. I was never much of a mussels guy, I thought the pinnacle of mussels is butter garlic. I was wrong. This place has introduced me to new flavor combinations which were amazing. I had the scampi, it was great. My wife ordered Thai. The Thai was a new mix of old flavors. The Curry goes very well with the bread. I would absolutely come back again dragging my unbeliever friends. The oysters there are fresh, and I just wish they had ginger salt with wasabi for the oysters. It would absolutely complete my night.”

“The space is very nicely decorated and just feels nice to be in. Mushroom pate with truffles was really good. The mains were more underwhelming. Sausage plate was good, chicken was over done - breast was dry and the fries were salty.”

The menu, a delightful fusion of classic and contemporary, did not disappoint. The flavors were well-balanced, each dish a testament to culinary expertise. Overall, a pleasant experience that I'd recommend to those seeking a tasteful dining adventure in the city.”

“Perfect evening. My 92-year-old aunt eats here often and we were welcomed warmly by the owner and staff. I had the salmon which I asked to be more than seared. My son had the chicken with a side of fries and my aunt had the trout. All were delicious. The decaf cappuccino s were perfect.”

“Our evening at Le Granule, the crown jewel of New York City’s French dining scene, was nothing short of magical. Hosted by the inimitable Philippe Masson, whose warmth and charisma only added to the ambiance, we were treated to an unforgettable performance that was as much a feast for the senses as the delectable dishes we savored. Philippe’s passion for culinary artistry was evident in every bite, and the service was exemplary and attentive without being intrusive. The decor, with its stunning floral arrangements, created an atmosphere of elegance and charm that perfectly complemented the exquisite meal. An evening at Le Granule is a symphony of flavors, hospitality, and joie de vivre, orchestrated by the talented owner and fantastic performer Philippe Masson”

“This French restaurant is amazing. I have to say the best Foie Gras. It is very crispy! Also I tried the Duck Breast very tasty and juicy. All of my order was fantastic and delicious. Love the atmosphere here. If I visit NYC again, here is the first restaurant I want to have a dinner 😘”

553 Manhattan Ave, New York, NY 10027, United States

“We had a birthday dinner here and enjoyed it quite a bit. The place is small and cozy, giving you a romantic, intimate feel. The service was great and not to mention the rich wine list. The food could have been more intriguing, but we yet had a wonderful experience. This is a local spot everyone would like to have in their neighbourhood.”

242 Mott St, New York, NY 10012, United States

“Great small French restaurant worth the stop for unique food. Service was fast friendly and helpful, wine was excellent. Had the spicy meatballs which had good flavor but were not spicy. The breakfast sandwich was outstanding and highly recommended. Overall great place to grab lunch.”

103 W 77th St, New York, NY 10024, United States

“There are not enough words to describe the incredible meal and service received here! All of the dishes were just as tasty as they seem on looks alone. Michael, our server, deserves recognition on his passion for the menu by leaving me with no regrets from his impeccable dish recommendations. He came to our table at all the perfect times and was super friendly. Sofia was warm and inviting upon our arrival, sat our table, and made sure we were well taken care of. She was very attentive and reached out personally to ask about potential allergies even prior to our reservation. Michelle greeted us very kindly during our meal and Christophe introduced himself to us as well. The staff is extremely warm and inviting, which only enhanced our experience. It's great to see how much the establishment values maintaining relationships with customers and what lengths they will go to in order to offer the most quality meal all around.”

“Unfortunately a very forgettable meal for me. I came here for dinner. We were seated outdoors immediately. They have some indoor seating - about 8 tables mostly for couples. Outside they have about 5 tables in the summer. The service was relatively slow and since the menu didn't have too many options I was hoping all the food that they did they would do well. From menu to leaving we ordered about 3 dishes and it took 2.5 hours. At best the food was fresh but it wasn't either tasty or memorable. It didn't have either flavor complexity or interest in terms of ingredient combination. I would probably come here for a basic meal but at the prices I expected something a little more upscale I suppose. We tried the heirloom tomato salad, the crab cake and the ravioli. I would pass on this place for dinner - might be a better lunch option to be fair”

“While I'm not a huge fan of French Bistro style restaurants, LA Goulue knocks it out of the park in regards to that department. The whole lunch experience today from the food to the service was fantastic! The restaurant was packed, and I see why, I thought the menu options were great. This establishment even serves sushi, and it was, surprisingly, really good. We will definitely be back!”

75 W 68th St, New York, NY 10023, United States

“Great place to go if you want to remind yourself how much middle school French you didn't retain. Food was delicious though, made me feel better about forgetting all my French. I highly recommend the escargot, because 1) I can at least FEEL French while eating it, and 2) dipping the complimentary bread in the escargot garlic butter is *bisou du chef 👨‍🍳💋*”

610 Lexington Ave, New York, NY 10022, United States

“Food, ambience, and service was all great! They change their menu each season which is cool. I had the scallops and Risotto which both were absolutely delicious. You can taste every ingredient and explosion of flavors, colors, and textures. The vibe was warm. Alex, the bartender recommended a non alcoholic mock tail which was earth and tart that paired well with my Risotto. I recommend this Michelin star restaurant.”

185 Sullivan St, New York, NY 10012, United States

“We actually wanna try something else but we found out they change menu regularly. So we tried the asparagus and skate wing which are pretty good. One thing about the menu is that the options are quite limited so we didn't get as much food as we want.”

41 St Marks Pl, New York, NY 10003, United States

“If you enjoy a lively restaurant with good food this is the place for you. They don’t have an extensive menu but the items offered are pretty great. I recommend the sliders, onion soup, mussels, and if you’re sharing the steak. They have a dj that sofa sessions after 10:45 and the bar gets pretty packed.”
