La Bonne Soupe

A colleague and I visited la Bonne Soupe in New York City recently for dinner. Coming from Montreal, I am very familiar with French or French-based restaurants and la Grande Boucherie did not disappoint. We started by sharing a serving or escargots, or snails, served in the French fashion, broiled in butter, parsley and garlic and served with French bread for dipping. The escargots were delicate in texture and very delicious, coupled with the French bread, it was a great treat. As a main dish, my colleague ordered the fresh fish filet of the day which was served with a lovely light lemony sauce. I ordered the burger, which had a generously sized patty and included brie cheese and French fries as a side. The fries were incredibly, thin, hot and crunchy and a real delight. For French cuisine, this restaurant has a very competent kitchen and is also very reasonably priced compared to other New York establishments. I would definitely recommend la Bonne Soupe without reservation (a reservation does help to avoid the line up outside the restaurant).

A charming eatery nestled near 5th Avenue, boasting delightful cuisine and a friendly, hospitable staff. Our experience with both the burger and the steak was superb; each dish was not only delicious but also bursting with rich flavors. However, do take note that the menu has undergone changes from what was previously displayed on Google; the steak portion has been reduced to 6 oz, albeit at a higher price than previously listed.

5 star for the price and quality! There are too many overcharged French restaurants that’s not worth it. I did not expect much of this place but it surprised me. Will definitely come back again. Escargot beyond expectation. boeuf bourguignon was the only one I hesitate to recommend; it’s a little salty.

This is a long-time Midtown staple for a nice French meal and good soups .. sort of a cold weather type meal. Our latest visit finds it still has good service, soups and salads are tasty but it has lost some of its French charm and the prices are out of control. We each had a bowl of lentil soup (not huge low bowls with lots of bread as before) that was very tasty with a few baguette morsels to dip. Husband had a Croque Madame, an open face grilled dish of ham, Gruyere cheese on bread topped with fried egg, comes with fresh side salad. I had a delicious and photo-worthy grilled leek plate topped with fried onion crisps. Add 2 glasses of water and it was $91 before a tip! Will confirm that food was fresh and well made, place was full of tourists, service was impeccable but prices won't let me give it a 5.

This is in my neighborhood and a go-to favorite. Get the fries- they always come out perfect. The staff is always kind and attentive, the food is French comfort food workout being fussy. Cocktails are incentive and switched out periodically. Tables downstairs are a little too close together; upstairs have less atmosphere but more space. The upstairs balconies have uncomfortable seating but are my favorite little outdoor oasis.

The food was amazing and very good for the price you pay in that aspect I have to give it a 9/10. But the Service took the cake, we got the best waiter which offered us the specials of the day and in general made our lunch an amazing lunch to remember. would definitely recommend if looking for a French restaurant in NYC. Would definitely recommend 💯.
