French Restaurants
our suggestions
-
Eleven Madison Park
11 Madison Ave., Gramercy, NYFancy though it may be, Eleven Madison Park is surprisingly lively, and the room wide open and airy – definitely not typical of a place serving this kind of food. But make no mistake, this is fine dining at its most serious.

Bar Boulud
1900 Broadway #2, New York, NYBar Boulud is Daniel Boulud’s “casual bistro”, but by Infatuation standards this is a fancy restaurant. It’s an older crowd, but a seemingly loose one as the restaurant feels upbeat and lively. As for the food, you’ll find a long list of pates and terrines, but otherwise, it’s a pretty straightforward bistro.

Raoul’s
180 Prince St., SoHo, NYRaoul’s is the sh*t. That’s really the only proper way to put it. If you can’t have a good time here, you probably can’t have a good time anywhere. This boisterous French bistro has been a Soho institution since the 70’s.

Annisa
13 Barrow Street, West Village, NYAnnisa isn’t your typical Infatuation style restaurant. It’s a little stuffy. The crowd is on the older side and the atmosphere is not exactly exciting. Also, there is way too much same side seating going on – couples on the same side of the table is always questionable in our book. Doesn’t matter. These standard [...]

The Modern
9 W. 53rd St., Midtown, NYThe best way for us to give you the lowdown on this place is to explain that it’s really two different experiences: the bar, and the dining room. One is a three course, prixe fixe fine dining experience, the other sleek, more relaxed, often features some Action at the Bar. If you’re going, go big and eat in the dining room.

L’Express
249 Park Ave. S, Gramercy, NYL’Express is an Infatuation MVP – a staple in the repertoire that is good for just about everything from casual dinner with friends, to business lunch, to drinks and crossing your fingers on a first date. But we especially love this 24 hour French brasserie for the New York City menagerie that it becomes at three in the morning.

Les Halles
411 Park Avenue South, Flatiron, NYIf what you know of Anthony Bourdain is entirely based on No Reservations, you might expect that a restaurant under his watch would be all about ethnic food, random animal parts, and booze (which would actually be amazing). But Les Halles is a straightforward French bistro, and it’s all about the steaks and the fries.
