Best French Restaurants in Morningside Heights

Authentic cuisine and ambiance … gracious service … decent prices. Le Monde is a delight. This time we had the cheese soufflé, lamb chops, mousse and peach crepe with the onion soup and lobster crab cakes. All delectable. Especially loved the fresh greens that come with every course. And the epitome of grace - fresh silverware with each course and attentive water service. Merci beaucoup!

I had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant while celebrating my friend’s birthday! The atmosphere was lively yet intimate, creating the perfect setting for our celebration. We started with the mussels, which were fresh, tender, and bursting with flavor. The brisket beef was absolutely melt-in-your-mouth, cooked to perfection with rich, savory flavors. The Caesar salad was crisp and light, balancing the richness of the other dishes beautifully. For drinks, I tried both a White Russian and a Phoenix cocktail – both were expertly crafted, with the White Russian being smooth and indulgent, while the Phoenix had a bold, refreshing twist. The staff made the birthday celebration even more special with their warm and attentive service. Overall, the combination of great food, amazing cocktails, and a wonderful atmosphere made this an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend this place for any occasion – it’s perfect for celebrating with friends!

This was our first time at one of the quality brand restaurants. It was a fantastic experience. The French onion soup was so cheesy and delicious just what we wanted after a cold day walking around the city. I had the lamb chops and they were cooked to perfection. The Caesar salad was also so simple but so delicious. The staff were so friendly. We were celebrating our anniversary and we were greeted from every staff member serving us wishing us a happy anniversary along with a card and a dessert. It was very special and we will be back again.

One of our favourite spots! Service is always top notch, great menu and food, and a really fun memorable and whimsical environment.

Nice, quiet brunch spot. Mussels and French onion soup were fabulous. The breakfast American was just ok. Bacon was too thick and double-fried. No bread with eggs which I would have liked. Would return, however. Very pretty and bright interior.
