Cafe Luxembourg

“From the egg Benedict to the cocktails and dessert the quality is top-notch.”

Cafe Luxembourg is an Upper West Side gem! I was specifically searching for actual French- French Onion Soup and found this spot on Google. I am SO glad I did because the soup was perfect, everything I wanted it to be. It was rich and light at the same time, crunchy and soft, the ultimate dish! The bar top is some kind of polished silver and stunning to behold. A local told me it was the only Bartop if it’s kind in the city. Highly recommend! Wonderful and attentive staff, authentic menu, full bar, outdoor seating and very jazzy and chill atmosphere. A must go!

Went here for dinner after a day at the natural history museum. Bustling vibe, crowded, approximately 2/3 male clientele at the dinner hour. Hostess & manager worked together to seat us with no waiting, even though we had no reservation 🙏🏻. Standouts were the Luxemburger (get it? 😂) with bacon and Gruyère cheese, and a martini made with French gin. I didn’t quite catch the name when the waiter told me, Le Plume maybe? But it was good! The French fries were average, a bit soggy. The steak tartare was good quality beef but lacking flavor, needed some capers or something similar to jazz it up.

Just east of Central Park, this french restaurant was cozy and delicious. Service was prompt and polite. My fiance and I ordered off the lunch specials, which were a turkey kale soup and a seared tuna with greens. These were each seasoned perfectly, but still super fresh tasting. Would highly recommend!

Have always wanted to go here but it’s a bit of a trek, then was reminded of it by watching Love Story. JFK Jr. liked to go here. I can see why. Place is very busy but the service is impeccable. The food is bistro style, and pretty good though not probably worth going back. The peanut butter ice cream special they had though was some of the best ice cream I’ve had so maybe that will pull me back in! Definitely glad I stopped in, I will recommend going here to people for sure. I’d stop back in when I’m in the neighborhood, but probably won’t travel a half hour on the subway just to go there.
