I met with a friend for brunch at Renaissance Harlem and must say that it was a great choice! The service was good, food was great, and the wait time was reasonable. The servers were observant of our needs. I will return again!

This is a lovely boutique restaurant that serves French/African food. It has good vibes. We had grilled octopus, the seafood basket for appetizers, and red snapper for the main dish. The drinks were refreshing. I highly recommend this place for happy hour, date night, or just getting out for dinner.

Amazing food and service. My party of 4 ate every single thing on our plate from brunch not a crumb left. Our servers were amazing and well attentive. My aunt raved about how well the omelet was made and seasoned. I had the chicken and jollof rice and that was probably my favorite chicken and jollof rice I’ve had so far in New York City! My new favorite local Harlem spot. I will be back again. Thank you

The restaurant is great overall, a few items on the menu can be better as it was too salty like the sautéed spinach snd the cod fish fritters. In regards to the location, it would be great for them to sweep in front of the store as folks in the neighborhood are not the cleanest and have no issues dumping trash in front of a place like this. I enjoyed the music that played and the folks they attract.

Great experience. Very vibrant! Recommend if in Harlem. Probably not the best value though as it’s pricey for what you get.
