Russ & Daughters Cafe

Art. Traditions. Food. Joy. When traditions are kept alive and treasured, going to the Museum for art and culture, and then enjoying delicious meals from Russ & Daughters is such a gift. It was Christmas Eve and we found a perfect Jewish Restaurant to enjoy a Christmas Brunch. After all, Humanity is one. And we are all the same under the sun. Unforgettable moments at Russ & Daughters. Dejando huellas...Montserrat

FABULOUS. Excellent bagels, perfectly "scooped." would have like more salmon. The deviled eggs had a touch of caviar - great flavor. There's a "no tipping" policy. I like that. Food was a little more expensive to compensate. In spite of the no tipping, service was very attentive and professional. Highly recommend.

If you like smoked fish, it is a good choice to visit Russ&Daughters. You can custom make your sandwich or order anything from the menu. There is a big variety of fishes to choose from. If you happen to be visiting the Jewish Museum this place is a very good idea for a lunch break. You have traditional jewish dishes to try out. All the tables were taken, so we decided to take our sandwiches outside and eat them in Central Park which is very close to this restaurant.

This place is fantastic. The best lox in the city as far as I am concerned. That being said, everything is great. My favorite thing is the whitefish chowder. I can't stop eating it. It is that good. The decor is amazing as well. Half Jewish deli half swanky Manhattan cafe, this place really ticks all the boxes. A little pricey but the tip is included so that helps.

Found! Russ & Daughters has blessed the Lower East Side since the turn of the century. I recently learned that a purveyor of appetizers relates to food desperation for a Kosher restaurant. Either way, their fish is top notch. They have a couple of benches outside but plan on bringing it wherever you go, especially to your mother’s house!
