Inspired by both classic Japanese flavors and modern techniques, Vert Frais brings the essence of Japanese comfort and culinary tradition to LIC. This restaurant offers a wide variety of drinks and dishes that reflects a harmonious blend of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary flair.
Vert Frais offers popular delicious Japanese dishes such as Omurice, Hamburg Steak, and Souffle Pancake. While my friends and I didn’t have the chance to try the Souffle Pancake, we were able to try the Omurice and Hamburg Steak. The Omurice was perfect, a nice blend of flavor between the rice and egg and ketchup. The ketchup added a good depth without overwhelming either the egg or rice. The Hamburg Steak was cooked perfectly, letting the knife cut right through. The demi-glace sauce was also beautifully made to balance the flavor.
I highly recommend ordering a drink from here to. All of their drinks are aesthetically pleasing and definitely photogenic! A note of advice: mix the drink very well! You have to make sure the drink gets fully mixed otherwise it may taste overly sweet. It was like that for the Lavender Lemonade, Berry Bliss, and Blue Moon Latte. All tasted sweet despite the “mixing”, but after mixing much more thoroughly, it becomes a nice blend where you can taste all the flavor.

I visited this beautiful Japanese-style café for a collaboration and was blown away by the quality, flavors, and aesthetic of everything I tried. It’s the perfect spot for a chic brunch that feels like a mix between a dessert café and a brunch restaurant, depending on how sweet your mornings are!
I had three incredible matcha souffle pancakes:
• MATCHA SOUFFLÉ PANCAKE with house-made matcha sauce and seasonal fruits — fluffy, balanced, and beautifully plated.
• VERT FRAIS MATCHA SOUFFLÉ PANCAKE with white bean paste, heavy cream, and more matcha — this one was so creamy and rich.
• MONT BLANC SOUFFLÉ PANCAKE with chestnut purée and sweet white bean paste — the most comforting fall-winter vibe!
I also tried their FONDANT AU CHOCOLAT, which is a warm chocolate lava cake paired with vanilla ice cream and berries, an indulgent dream.
And not to forget the OMURICE, a savory touch to balance the meal, made with bacon fried rice, mushrooms, and a flavorful demi-glace.
Their latte art is next level! I had a Lavender Latte, Rose Matcha Latte, and a Noir Latte. Each one was smooth, aromatic, and heart-topped with love.

We had the following
Omurice – it was tasty and was a lot of food for one person so you share this for sure.
Karaage (not pictured) – very well
Seasoned and tasty as well.
Katsu Don – great taste and tender meat as well.
Matcha pancake – just the perfect amount of sweet. And very fluffy as well

Vert Frais in Long Island City is such a cozy find. It perfectly blends Japanese-inspired flavors with that relaxed New York café feel.
I tried the Lavender Latte, Rose Latte, and their signature Vert Frais Matcha Souffle Pancake—light, airy, and full of flavor. The Ramen + Salmon Ikura Bowl was comfort in a bowl, and finishing with both the affogato and matcha affogato was the best decision.
Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and the space had a calm, welcoming vibe that made me want to stay longer.
If you’re looking for a brunch or dessert spot in Long Island City, Vert Frais deserves a spot on your list.

Japanese inspired brunch restaurant with beautiful hanging plants for a romantic yet casual environment.
We came for dinner, and enjoyed the katsu don and omurice, which was flavorful and delicious. I don’t recommend quinoa salad, because it tasted bad.
The entire restaurant is small, and the tables are quite close together, typical for NYC.

Visit Vert Frais if you’re looking for an aesthetic food/drink experience that caters closest to Japanese taste profile.
At the times we visited, we noticed it was a full Japanese speaking house staff and they were extra friendly and very kind, which got us further excited for the menu offerings.
Please note that the place does get very busy during normal lunch and dinner hours so keep that in mind if you try to come during then. We’d recommend coming during off-hours to fully soak in the clean floral atmosphere.
If you’re used to Katsu Don being overly sweetened for no reason in the US restaurants, you won’t find that here. Instead, the sauce is more savory as it should be like how we’ve found back in Japan.
The drinks in general are also not overly sweet either, which allows the different flavors to be experienced more so than being overpowered by sugar.
This was our third visit and we’ve tried a different items during each visit as we are often around this area.
So far, we’ve had three of the souffle pancakes, Salmon Ikura Bowl, Katsu Don, Shoyu Ramen with side of Pork Cha Shu Bowl for food items.
For drink items, unfortunately we didn’t take picture of the one new paper menu but if you see the pictures they do look exactly alike. There was a Lychee drink, Citrus drink, Rose Latte, Rose Matcha Latte, Lavender Lemonade, Berry Bliss.
Highly recommend this place for people who want to watch their sugar consumption in general while still getting their sweets & food fix.

Cutest café aesthetic meets seriously good food I know this place is known for the pancakes and omurice (which are great), but the ramen was unexpectedly delicious too — such a pleasant surprise. Our only complaint is that the cocktails felt too weak for the price.

Got the Matcha Souffle Pancake and the Omurice and both were absolutely delicious!! This place is so aesthetic but small. This place is popular and gets pretty busy on the weekends. There is typically a small line outside the doors on weekends (even before they open), so be prepared to wait a little or get there early. I am definitely visiting again!

Went there for brunch with my family. give it a 4/5
Got the edamame for apps 8/10 ( good cant go wrong)
Rose latte 10/10 (hot and cold are both delish and beautifully presented!
Matcha Martini 10/10 (strong but delish)
got the OMURICE 8/10 with the hamburger steak it can easily feed 2, the demi glaze made it a bit heavy and was on the sweeter side
Ramen + Salmon Lunch Special 9/10 Salmon very fresh and good portion
Star of the show has to be the
MATCHA SOUFFLE PANCAKE 1000/10 It was fluffy and airy and sweet but not too sweet. Everyone loved it!!!
Service was a bit slow. got some of the food before some of the drinks which is a bit odd. One of the main dishes didn’t come out till the end of our meal (it was JAPANESE HAMBURG STEAK maybe due to the temp of the meat it took longer but felt a bit odd to eat while the other waited for their meal) (not sure about rating because it was another person trying this not myself but they enjoyed it.
Over all 4/5 stars. The servers was great at answering our questions on the cuisine and and the food was good. Decor was nice!!

This restaurant is beautiful. We enjoyed the Mont Blanc soufflé pancake, and the matcha was also pretty good. The interior decoration was nice. The service was good. They only offered soufflé pancake before 4pm. Overall, we enjoyed our afternoon tea here.
