French Louie

Much hyped on the socials but it delivers. The venue boasts a wall of tables for two with banquet seating and an outdoor dining space. The service is attentive without hovering. You're greeted by the cheery barstaff then the host guides you to your table. The menu is small but the execution is near perfect. Despite the size, the restaurant is family friendly and not very loud when full. It fills up fast so reservations are absolutely recommended.

French Louie is perfect for a special occasion, casual brunch or a quick drink. Their food is special without being fussy and they have consistent staples with a few rotating, seasonal options. Last night I enjoyed gougeres and mussels in a broth of cider, mustard crème fraiche and leeks that was so rich and well balanced. They also had a seasonal squash and apple soup with oat milk foam as a riff on a cappuccino, with a crunchy and sweet pistachio biscotti. Great food and flavor combinations, drinks and vibes!! Make a reservation!

Lil neighborhood gem — so pleasantly delicious! French Louie has a beautiful, intimate setting with great food. I got the Bavette steak frites for dinner (comes with a really yummy and fresh mixed salad. Topped with pickles tho so if you don’t like pickles, I’d tell them!). The fries are hand cut and so good. For lunch I got the trout po boy, also delicious and came with fries. My husband got a vegetable dish that I can’t remember the name of. It was good but we both admitted my po boy was better. We ordered a side of fries. Very intimate and chill. Perfect date night

A gem in Brooklyn.... If I lived in this hood I'd be a regular. After having just been to Paris, I have to say the food is great with an American twist. Had the duck confit, skate wing, dry aged steak, papardelle, some drinks, 2 appetizers and the bill came out to under 300 which I found great for a meal this enjoyable. Laid back vibe... Def swinging through next time I'm in cobble hill!

Nice French bistro with beautiful interior and good service. The food was ok but considering the prices, which are decently above average for a bistro, you expect something more. A portion of oysters were very small. But Paris Brest and cocktails were really delicious. Probably will not come back, but could say that you can stop for a cocktails and desserts for sure.
