Best French Restaurants in Theater District

What a great underrated spot in Hells Kitchen. The restaurant is comfortable, not packed in like sardines like most these days. Their service is warm, friendly and efficient. Plenty to choose from on their menu including Branzino, Trout (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) and Salmon if you are looking for fish. They also have wonderful preparations of steak, chicken and duck including a pasta dish.

We had a party of 7 for the pre fixe menu due to going to the theater. Everything was excellent. The most tender beef ever. Three people who ordered Caesar salad said it was the best they ever had. Decor is warm and inviting and so is the staff! We ate at Le Rivage last summer at a table on the street and also had a wonderful meal and experience.

What an amazing experience for our first Christmas lunch away from home in Australia. The staff were so friendly and accomodating even on Christmas Day! I never write reviews, but this place - the food, the service, the staff, the setting, even down to the lovely bathrooms. We had a wonderful time. Thank you Quality Bistro - we will certainly never forget this Christmas.

This is my 2nd time here. I made reservations weeks ahead of time due to the holiday. I was only able to get outside lobby area. Upon arrival I asked if anything was available inside and they had high top bar seating available at their “seafood bar”. I was with my friend and our daughters under twenty one. Since it was freezing they wanted the inside. We had no trouble talking and the view from this spot was nice. Our server Dorji was EXCELLENT. He was very attentive to our needs and made great suggestions on drinks. We decided on the espresso martini and it was perfect. Our arrival was before 6 so the prix fix was available and you definitely get a lot for your money. The salad was okay but the French onion soup was wonderful and really hit the spot on a cold day. Two of us had the coq au vin and that was delicious. My friend had the steak and was happy. My daughter ordered the NY strip off the regular menu. She loved the fries, enjoyed the steak but said the cut was a little tough. We had crème brûlée which was a wonderful way to end the meal. The location of the restaurant is perfect if you are in town for the holidays. The place was decorated beautifully as well.

Bakery is a must-visit for any pastry lover! The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the irresistible aroma of fresh bread and pastries. Their croissants are perfectly flaky, and their macarons are delightful—each one bursting with flavor. I also appreciated the warm, friendly service that made me feel right at home. Whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee or indulging in a dessert, this bakery delivers excellence every time!
