French comfort food & a Parisian vibe have been drawing A-list types here since 1983.

Adorable location and classic brunch spot. Went with a friend over late brunch and had no Rez.. only had to wait 20 minutes and were able to get a table. Definitely a busy location but service and food were both great. Enjoyed Benedict, buffalo dumplings, and egg sandwich. overall recommend

Cafe Luxembourg is an Upper West Side gem! I was specifically searching for actual French- French Onion Soup and found this spot on Google. I am SO glad I did because the soup was perfect, everything I wanted it to be. It was rich and light at the same time, crunchy and soft, the ultimate dish! The bar top is some kind of polished silver and stunning to behold. A local told me it was the only Bartop if it’s kind in the city. Highly recommend! Wonderful and attentive staff, authentic menu, full bar, outdoor seating and very jazzy and chill atmosphere. A must go!

Tried a few items and overall had a great experience. The espresso martini was well made — you could taste the alcohol without it being overpowering, and it was a nice way to start the day. Definitely something I’d order again.
The steak was cooked perfectly and very juicy in the middle, though some parts were slightly hard or rubbery. Flavor-wise it was excellent, and the peppercorns added a nice touch to the sauce without being too strong. The fries were thin, perfectly crisp, and the parmesan was a great addition.
The grilled cheese was okay, but pairing it with the pickle created a great balance and really enhanced the flavor.
Would happily come back and try more from the menu.

Great date spot to grab a meal. It’s probably geared moreso to that because of the intimate nature of this venue. All the tables here is cozy and in close quarters.
Food was tasty and good. I have the salmon and it was about a 2.5-3oz portion of salmon. I got it cooked medium rare and the flavor was there with the sauce was good as well. I added sautéed spinach with it and that was tasty as well. Nice light flavor on it.
The Luxemburger and fries my date had was good too. The fries are really good here. Nice flaky Exterior with soft interior. Lightly salted and overall good! Burger was medium rare and was good as well. I suggest adding cheese or bacon to give it an extra layer of flavor. The burger could use some salt or something whilst being cooked to add to the experience.
Got 4 drinks as well. 2 each. They were good too.
Service was attentive and no qualms there.
After tip and meal, ended up at a little over $200. This place isn’t a value proposition. Per person you’ll probably at least spend about 60 bucks so come with your wallet.
If you can afford it, it’s a nice option. You get what you pay for here.

Such a fun place! My wife and I arrived at 11:45am on a Monday for a post-movie brunch and Cafe Luxembourg did not disappoint! We sat at the bar and shared a bottle of Rose, onion soup, salade nicoise with yellowfin tuna, zucchini fries, and the warm chocolate chip cookies for dessert. Everything was great and the buzzing atmosphere added to the experience. Highly recommend!

It’s always a special treat to dine at Cafe Luxembourg! Our party of four were fortunate enough to get the corner window table. The brunch was sublime delivered with exquisite service. The one issue is the restaurant was filled to capacity and the tables are tightly packed. We enjoyed delicious Bloody Marys and fine coffee. I love the old school Manhattan vibe and style with welcoming staff all with delivered with a French twist.

Café Luxembourg is one of the best dinner spots on the Upper West Side! The food is consistently delicious, the service is warm, and the atmosphere feels both elegant and comfortable. I came with my child and we were made to feel so welcome, yet it’s also the perfect spot for a cozy date night. A true NYC classic with amazing cocktails and French inspired dishes.

Prototypical French restaurant with super attentive staff. Inside seating looks kinda packed. We enjoyed the weather and air outside dining. Only got to try the burger with fries. It was cooked perfect with some juice running. The fries are more on the airer side. The pair the meal with Mayo, ketchup, and house sauce which was excellent.

This was my first time in the Cafe. We did sit at the bar for lunch and it was busy. We ordered two French onion soups, drinks, and a sandwich. The food was great. The service by the bartender was just not attentive enough. He was slow on taking orders, getting the drinks he was responsible for, and when it came time to pay the bill we had to send up a few flairs.

This was my first time here, every- time I passed it was packed- I see why. This is an upper west side staple. Sit inside outside at the bar, service is fantastic. Everyone smiles and greets you like you’re a regular. The manager even came over the see how our meal was – it’s was delish. The eggs cooked to perfection, crispy shoestring fries and a fresh salad. It was my friend’s birthday so they added a custom plate and candle. Cant wait to go back !
