Le Parisien is the go-to neighborhood bistrot for Murray Hill, offering classic French food like steak frites, escargots and moules marinieres, paired with a well-edited list of french wines.
Chef Johnathan Masse brings his expert knowledge of comfort food, having most recently served as sous chef at the Waverly Inn, and also for Chef Jonathan Waxman of Barbuto. Along with owner Christian Merand, formerly of Jean-Claude in Soho, they have created a restaurant that focuses on serving consistently great traditional food with a lively and unmistakeably French atmosphere.

Also open daily for lunch and brunch on weekends.

Exactly what it should be. A small, atmospheric bistro with excellent food at fair prices. I've enjoyed it over more than ten years. Once a week when I had a studio nearby. Now, from a more distant location, whenever I want to eat and relax with good friends in the East 30s.

Charming bistro with a good French wine menu (no full bar) and good food menus. The trout almondine is among the standouts along with steak frites and duck confit. Le Parisien is also a fantastic brunch option.
