Top 19 French restaurants in Brooklyn NYC
In this article, We will provide a list of French restaurants in Brooklyn NYCs we rank based on thorough research of many reputable websites and blogs. Let's find out together!
1. Francie

A great experience that I would do again. We were a group of 4 and ordered all the highlights on the menu and not a single dish disappointed us. The great atmosphere and service were excellent, but not as excellent as I expected for the price and the Michelin star. I still highly recommend it without reservation.
After several delays, this Williamsburg bistro opened its doors in December 2020. The Michelin star proves it was worth the wait. The collaboration between chef-owner Christopher Cipollone and owner-operator John Winterman offers an upscale yet casual dining experience in a simple dining room with a tiled floor, exposed brick walls and an open kitchen. Francie's menu is decidedly European, with France and Italy dominating. A selection of seafood dishes and artisanal pastas are joined by dishes for two (cured duck crown and prime côte de beouf). Affordable menu options include Roman Army sourdough with sunflower cream and whipped lardo, oysters, bucatini and Earl Gray panna cotta.

2. Le Crocodile

Located in the lobby of the Wythe Hotel in Williamsburg, Le Crocodile is a mix of charm and freshness. The space is modern while retaining the elegance of the French style, as are the waiters who wear crisp white jackets. The menu is as impeccable as the interior and you will be impressed with their steak au poivre, salads, pâté, profiteroles and creme brulee.
Recently opened and an immediate success - that probably best describes Le Crocodile (Brooklyn). In addition to having an excellent French bistro-style menu, they serve the best cocktails in the city. From steak tartare, tagine with almonds and pumpkin to duck breast with prunes - it's simply the best.

3. Bacchus

Bacchus Wine Bar and Restaurant is located in a historic building in Buffalo's downtown entertainment district.
“Owner Steven Ventura and his staff are incredible and are clearly motivated by their own passions and personal ties to the producers they support. Dirty Bacchus manages to be warm and welcoming, it's not just a "nerdy wine shop." It's about finding these small independent producers, many of whom Steven has actually cultivated direct personal relationships with. He finds a way to cobble together enough bottles to have $18 bottles along with more expensive ones. Expect offerings from regional and New York winemakers, but also some really interesting Burgundy for under $40 a bottle. It's like the perfect record store for wine: you go in for what you want, but you find all these things you never knew about.” —Joe Appel, winemaker at R.A.S. Wines

5. Le Gamin

With crispy trout fillets instead of the more common tuna, this salad is not to be missed.
Here's an idea: call in sick to work, put on your poutiest lipstick, and head to this French cafe with the used paperback you've wanted to read since you bought it on the banks of the Seine during your year abroad. Then, drink an espresso and eat tartines and buckwheat crepes in the morning and duck confit or mussels with fries later. 108 Franklin St., Brooklyn; lesdeuxgamins.com
