Libertine

  4.1 – 328 reviews   • French restaurant

Social Profile:

A French bistro on an historic corner in the West Village from Cody Pruitt and Chef Max Mackinnon celebrating forgotten, iconic, and regional Gallic dishes alongside an exclusively-French, exclusively-natural 250+ wine list and a cocktail menu of retooled classics and lesser-known gems. It might be located in a 150+ year old restaurant space on the corner of Greenwich Street and Christopher Street, but it closer resembles a neighborhood spot in the 11th arrondissement in Paris.

Restaurant Review: Libertine in the West Village – The New York …

In a city full of second-generation Gallic knockoffs, this West Village newcomer cooks and looks like the real thing.

Delicious food and great service. The Duck was delicious. They serve the breast and the leg part separately with the latter oven backed with mashed potatoes. Wine list was rich and reasonably priced. I had chocolate mousse for desert and was excellent. Service at the bar was very friendly. I would go again .

Bar seat with Eric driving the boat. Expert wine selection for me. Anchovies were served warm which was lovely. Tomato salad perfectly ripe. Duck with foie gras was divine. Spacious. Lovely experience.

Amazing french restaurant in the west village. The duck was perfectly crispy and tender— I personally could’ve done without the sauce that comes with it. But I liked how they do the duck two ways with the mash that accompanies the main. The saucise was very good— a tad salty tho but very good overall. However, the star of the show was the salade maison. Kisses to whoever made that salad. perfectly crisp, perfect herbage, perfect salt level.

The waiter walks through every single menu item on the chalkboard which is impressive. All the food item we got was solid. Lively atmosphere.

Chalkboard menus bereft of adjectives add to the experience as they enable waiters to have a real discussion about food with the people at the table. Their service team relishes this & takes full advantage – it works.

Libertines cooking is great. The classics are as well executed and flavour forward as you could hope. The wine list is creative and interesting, the room itself well arranged and quite beautiful – unlike in French bistros, there’s actually room to breathe.

Don’t skip bread and butter, in fact go further and actually visit butter mountain in the kitchen.

Highlights were the scallop & the near famous duck. The steak tartare had all the balance you’d want with great textures – the chocolate mousse was a chartreuse infused outrageous decadence. Personally I’d skip the much celebrated eggs mayo, unless you have a particular connection to that combo.

Our server, (I think his name was nick) deserves special praise – great care and attention, very generous in spirit – a wonderful host.

Will return. An easy 5 stars.

Pretty much proves how irrelevant social media influence has become. Sure, three years ago this was The Place, but I promise it’s as good if not better now, even if you’re not hearing about it. Perfect French Bistro – beautiful ambience, exceptional service, and, most importantly, impeccable food. Everything from the bread with salted butter and anchovies, to the drinks (best old fashioned we’ve had in recent months, plus a great wine list). The duck two ways, the salmon with the most incredible cabbage side, the sausage- all wonderful. Dessert: chocolate mousse or rice pudding- both were generous portions and hard to resist. The service was so great too which included a complimentary digestif. Better make your reservations before word gets out. This is the best French spot in NYC right now.

I rarely write reviews, but my experience at Libertine was disappointing enough that I feel compelled to share it.

When we arrived, we were told the restaurant was “committed for the night,” despite the fact that nearly half the dining room was visibly empty. We mentioned we actually had a reservation in 45 minutes and were told, rather dismissively, that we’d be seen “in 45.” When we returned, the same empty tables remained untouched yet we were seated at a four-top in the center of the restaurant, even though there were several far more comfortable, available options.

When we politely asked if we could move, we were told no without any explanation. When our server came over, we mentioned that the hostess had been quite rude, hoping for some understanding. Instead, he immediately defended her, saying she was “dealing with a very busy West Village restaurant,” and told us to “be nice to her.” It was a stunning lack of professionalism we hadn’t been unkind, simply honest about how we’d been treated.

After that exchange, the hostess came over again and made the situation so uncomfortable that we decided to leave before even ordering.

It’s unfortunate, because the space itself is lovely and I had eaten here once before. But the experience left us feeling unwelcome and embarrassed and that’s not the kind of energy any restaurant, especially one in such a competitive neighborhood, should be putting out.

French bistro style food with prices on the higher end. They have their menu on a blackboard which is charming at first but the prices can be quite striking, especially when you actually start to get the portions. The egg mayonnaise is completely not worth it, and the tartare is interesting but virtually four or five bites. The duck is really the star of the meal and it’s executed well enough that I’m willing to accept it’s worth the price tag but it’s still a painfully high price. Desserts are irreverent but tasty which I actually did enjoy. I guess it’s a good spot if you can stomach the bill!

Cool bistro atmosphere and great wine list. The experience was more or less as expected but they could do better with service and food. Server did not mention that the halibut had a creamy sauce, even though I said I was passing in another dish because it had heavy cream. Bread in bread basket, which you have to pay for, was chewy. step up!

We dined here on Saturday night with our kids. What a delicious and wonderful dining experience. We can’t get any French food of this caliber in Toronto. My kids loved the gnocchi and they’re usually picky. The scallop appetizer was also incredible. The sausage and mashed potatoes was so simple but so good. The duck two ways was executed so well! Every dish we had was so good. The service was top notch. It was such a cute local spot. We would love to go back when we are in New York next!
