We were wandering around looking for brunch and ended up finding such a gem! We love escargots and these were so good we didn’t even stop to take a proper photo—just grabbed a quick screenshot from a video. The burger and fries were solid, and the Croque Madame was fantastic—really tasted authentically French. We were with our dog, so we opted for outdoor seating this time, but we can’t wait to come back for dinner to check out the inside more. The service was attentive and the decor is lovely. We’ll definitely be back soon!

Had an incredible meal at Paris Cafe! You can taste the love for authentic French food.
The appetizers were amazing and the whole roasted chicken was one of the most tender pieces of chicken I’ve eaten in a long time. The fact that they were able to combine it with the classic mashed potatoes made it even better. Quality ingredients throughout – you can definitely taste the difference.
Live jazz in the background combined with the amazing design set the perfect vibe. Highly recommend making a reservation!

One of the best steak frites I’ve ever had in my life. The service is personal, attentive, and of high quality just like the ingredients and flavors in all the dishes. Very much enjoyed the crème brûlée and chocolate mousse as well.

Our evening at Paris Café, nestled within the historic landmark building at 119 South Street, New York, NY 10038, was nothing short of exceptional. We attended their Wednesday jazz night, and the atmosphere was a seamless blend of intimacy and elegance. The live jazz provided a refined backdrop—smooth, soulful, and impeccably curated—perfectly complementing the timeless charm of the space.
The culinary experience was equally exquisite. We began with the silky, perfectly seasoned foie gras, which melted effortlessly on the palate, and the delicately prepared escargots, bathed in a fragrant garlic-parsley butter that was both indulgent and balanced. For our mains, the steak frites au poivre was succulent and impeccably cooked, with a velvety peppercorn sauce that elevated every bite, while the poulet fermier showcased tender, farm-fresh chicken infused with delicate herbs, a dish that felt both rustic and refined. To conclude, La Révolution was a masterpiece of French pastry craftsmanship—rich, beautifully plated, and the perfect finale to an extraordinary meal.
The service matched the caliber of the cuisine—attentive yet unobtrusive, with every detail handled gracefully. From start to finish, the evening felt thoughtfully curated, making Paris Café not just a restaurant, but a destination for those who appreciate culinary artistry, historic charm, and sophisticated ambiance.
A true gem in the Seaport, and one we will undoubtedly return to.

Came in here with a group and it did not disappoint! The service was attentive and professional, the cocktails are divine (I’m still thinking about the Elegantly Filthy Dirty Martini) and the food was top class. Definitely recommend the burger, the escargots and the Steak Frites. 10/10 will definitely be back!

Good food makes my heart so unbelievably happy, and Paris Cafe NYC absolutely delivered! I had the BEST chicken I’ve ever had in my entire 42 years of life — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and unforgettable. I’m a native New Yorker and a total foodie who loves to cook and eat, and I can honestly say there wasn’t a single dish on the menu that disappointed me.
The roasted carrots were sublime, the mussels were divine, and everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. You can really feel the care and passion that goes into each plate.
Paris Cafe has officially become one of my favorite spots in the city. I can’t wait to come back (often!) and eat to my heart’s content.

Great spot to go for drinks. The back room is the real surprise — cozy, charming, and perfect for lingering over a long conversation. It feels like a little hideaway tucked right into the neighborhood. The drinks are another standout: well‑made, balanced, and clearly crafted by people who care about what they’re pouring. Whether you’re settling in for cocktails or escaping to that back room for a quieter vibe, this place delivers every time.

Paris Café in Manhattan completely blew me away. Everything—from the food to the ambiance to the service—was absolutely fantastic. The cocktails, in particular, deserve a special shout-out. They were some of the best I’ve ever had, a truly top-of-the-line cocktail experience that alone makes the visit worthwhile.
The décor is gorgeous, especially the stunning back room, which feels both cozy and elegant. It’s the kind of space you instantly want to linger in. The staff was warm, attentive, and welcoming, adding to the overall experience without ever feeling intrusive.
A fantastic neighborhood gem—highly, highly recommended.
