About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
Warmly elegant, Frenchette features a veteran kitchen serving a dining room that melds Old World glamour with New York energy. From breakfast through late-night, chefs Lee Hanson and Riad Nasr make the most of their kitchen’s rotisserie and Robata grill with daily specials crowning a menu that features Duck Frites, Turbot for Two and Spit-Roasted Lobster, all approached with a lighter, more contemporary touch. Aperitif-based cocktails are served at the striking pewter bar and an impressive selection of natural wines is on offer.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: The snazziest French bistro in NYC popped open in 2018, winning a James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant, along with rave reviews and national buzz for chefs Lee Hanson and Riad Nasr. Frenchette’s dramatic black exterior reveals a warm wooden bar and cozy leather banquettes with remarkably friendly staff poised to welcome you at the door. Join the fans feasting on oysters and sausages, pommes frites, pillowy gnocchi Parisienne, and showstopping pistachio Paris-Brest, alongside the acclaimed natural wine list.

    Very good relatively traditional French food. Our waiter knew the menu intimately and made most helpful suggestions. The ambiance is also traditional. The overall experience is great - food oriented rather than "scene".

    The service is incredible, but the food was very expensive for the quality. And the noise level is off the charts. Could not even hold a normal conversation with another person at a small table for two.

    Always good. Haha Can’t go wrong with anything…though the soft scramble escargot with the baguette for dipping is our favorite shareable.

    Ordered food and 1:45 no entree. The waitstaff was lovely and apologetic. I asked for the check for the beverages/ appetizer and left. No compensation for delayed food preparation. No manager came to the table to apologize, left it up to the waitress. I feel the restaurant has a lot to offer but needs better management.
