I went here with a pretty high expectations and boy I had it wrong! We ordered chicken salad and burger. Salad was dry, tasteless and only thing it had good was a look. Burger was a bit more better. I was too hungry to had a better judgement maybe but it was really not so bad. Drinks were also not on top. I asked my drink with less alcohol but it was still pretty strong. Waiter was nice. Place is designed nicely, meaning the interior. But tables are uncomfortably small. I left my birthday dinner pretty sad. Supposedly this place should’ve been a good place for a nice, calm, tasty dinner but… I guess the place is a bit overrated.

We enjoyed much. The calamari appetizer was exceptional. Seasoned and cooked to perfection. Great intro as to what to come. Ordered salmon burger, chicken sandwhich & steak frites. All very good. Ate outside and enjoyed all the sights & sounds of neighborhood. Would come back!

Great French cuisine place in downtown Brooklyn a few blocks from the Hilton Brooklyn. Nice outdoor seating. Staff was very accommodating as had we a party of 6 and they pieced together seating outside for us. Food was terrific!

The worst-tasting food I’ve ever had.
The fried calamari was by far the worst I’ve ever had—it was thick, greasy, and tasted more like cheap onion rings than calamari. The mussel pot was also not fresh. To make things worse, the Aperol Spritz came with the orange slice still having the supermarket sticker on it, which clearly means they never even washed their fruit. Overall, the food quality does not match the price at all. We were totally shocked, especially since they call themselves a French restaurant but the worst quality—honestly, I don’t think any French person would accept this level of food.

Great burgers, reasonable prices, and a really nice atmosphere. One of the few spots in the neighborhood that’s been around over 20 years—and it shows in the best way. A true local favorite.

While I love Bar Tabac, there’s not very much Parisian or French about this place, except for the food, I’m speaking mostly of the ambience. The escargot was excellent, and the burger was average. If I remember correctly, I got the burger medium rare, with Gruyère cheese, and bacon. It was a tad bit underwhelming, but the escargot was so good that I made up for it. The service was excellent, they accommodated me and my three dogs outside with little to no issues.

Absolutely disgusting restaurant! As I was walking towards the bathroom I saw a rat run out the kitchen. When i mentioned this to the waiter he tried gaslighting me into believing it was probably a bird that might’ve gone inside. Previously before going into the bathroom I kept getting stared down from the staff. Definitely not POC friendly. My boyfriend and I would not be returning and I recommend you to STAY AWAY!

They claim to use organic eggs. The yolk for different eggs have a different color, consistency and flavor. The eggs here look like regular eggs, cage raised, “cheaper” basic eggs.
After seeing the color on the eggs I asked about it and the first person I asked seem to realize that I was asking for something they already knew… The second person seemed like they didn’t know so I asked where are they from, can I see the cartoon? So they asked the chef. The answer that was brought back was yeah of course we just organic eggs.
The photo is even slightly color enhanced by the phone. The depth of color doesn’t convey the quality, but it’s a clear indicator. They didn’t have a clear answer. Most places that buy qualities items, the staff knows exactly where it’s from.

Bar Tabac is a beloved and staple French restaurant in the Cobble Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn. We chose this place for our Christmas Eve dinner.
The place and ambiance are casual, cozy, and unpretentious. We were given a table for two at the back of the restaurant (we didn’t realize the place is quite spacious).
We started with freshly made escargot Bourgogne served with French baguettes and salted butter, together with a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon.
For my main entrée, I selected Les Moules frites (we were told that the mussels are from Canada), while my partner opted for lamb shank stew, which was served to him cold and he decided to send it back to the kitchen to warm it up a bit. Hands down to the mussels’ freshness and the delicious sauce that goes with it, I enjoyed dipping my baguette and fries in it.
We then concluded our dinner with lava cake and vanilla ice cream dessert to share. Overall, we found the dining experience pleasing; the staff are sincerely friendly and helpful. If you are craving some authentic French cuisine and happen to be in the area, this place is highly recommended.

Great waitress. My nightly special entree was average at best. The other 3 loved theirs. Disappointed to see almost no French wine (by the glass anyway, we weren’t offered another wine list) at the French bistro. My wife wants to come here every trip to NYC.
