Reviews
From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere strikes that perfect French bistro balance—warm lighting, intimate tables, and an easy hum of conversation that feels both lively and relaxed. It’s the kind of place that works just as well for a date night as it does for catching up with friends over wine.
The menu is classic French comfort with thoughtful touches. The Moules Marinières are a standout—plump PEI mussels swimming in a fragrant white wine butter sauce with shallots and garlic, served with crisp fries that are ideal for soaking up every last drop. The Boeuf Bourguignon is rich and deeply flavorful, tender short rib in a velvety red wine sauce with carrots and pearl onions—pure cold-weather bliss (even if it’s not cold out).
For starters, the Foie Gras Poêlé is beautifully seared and balanced by apple compote, and the Escargots arrive bubbling in garlicky parsley cream. If you’re in the mood for something lighter, the Salade Niçoise is fresh and vibrant, with perfectly cooked tuna and bright vinaigrette tying everything together.
The burger—topped with brie and caramelized onions—adds a fun French twist to a comfort classic, and the Steak au Poivre is expertly prepared, with a bold pepper sauce that doesn’t overwhelm the filet. Portions are generous without being heavy, and the flavors feel authentic rather than overcomplicated.
Service is attentive and genuinely welcoming—staff are knowledgeable about the menu and happy to offer wine suggestions. Speaking of wine, the selection pairs beautifully with the food and reinforces the restaurant’s French identity.
Overall, Chateau 49 feels like a hidden gem in Midtown: approachable, delicious, and full of charm. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick tartine and glass of wine or settling in for a full three-course dinner, it’s the kind of place you’ll want to return to.
Their cheese selection is fantastic—definitely worth the price! If you’re a wine lover, you’ll love their wine options too. It’s just an all-around great spot for a relaxed and enjoyable evening. Highly recommend!
The only disappointing part of this evening was the service. We wanted to order the 2nd round of drinks before the happy hour cut, and the server denied them for friends with half full glasses. Then we all ordered main plates, and while still working on our food the waiter brought us the check. We didn’t give it too much thought, as we weren’t done and wanted to also enjoy desserts. So we ordered their flan and dessert wines and were trying to enjoy the evening. That’s when the waiter told us to hurry up because they needed the table for someone else.
It was exactly 1 hour from the time we sat at the table until we were asked to empty the table.
Not the best feeling for your $60+ pp cost. I wouldn’t come back here just because of the service. If they were upfront that we get only 1hr at the table, that would have been more fair.
