French Roast has been fulfilling the appetites and quenching the thirsts of Upper West Side residents for over 27 years. The classic Parisian bistro offers a take on French cuisine that compels locals to return and newcomers to stop in. French Roast serves authentic French and American cuisine to all. Order essentials such as pain au chocolate from the bakery, burgers, and duck confit, and a variety of cocktails served against an antique backdrop of wood-polished chairs and vintage chandeliers reminiscent of a Parisian café.

    There was a ventilator above us which was over blowing that I asked to turn off a few times, and they promised to do, but never did. Food was ok, nothing special, but as expected for brunch
