Reviews of Le Baratin (Restaurant)

Samuel Chin

Service was great and the duck was cooked to perfection (medium rare)!

Andy Schwarz

Nice French restaurant in a cozy Village setting

Charles Bouillon

A very french, very traditional French cafe/bistro. Highly recommend if you want a taste of France in the heart of the west village. The food is simple but very tasty, the fries were particularly impressive. The brunch cocktail pitcher was very good!

Brian Salamone

Outstanding food and service in an intimate setting. Get the beef stew.

Brendan Solano

Delicious, found just by chance with a passer bye saying best food.

ARAMIDE OLANIYAN

Best staff in New York!

Neil Walsh

I just had dinner here and it was wonderful. I am gluten free and dairy free and my waiter went out of his way to make sure I got a meal I can eat. So now I have a go to French place! Everyone who is gluten free and dairy free should go here.

Cosy little bistro. Bartenders are friendly, making for good conversations at the bar, with them and other customers. Everything I've tried so far on the menu is good.

Jehangir Khan

Try the truffle pizza! The best I've had in a while

Luke Fuller

Classic

William Vericker

I have known the owner Michael since he was a young waiter at his father’s place Tout va BIEN on W 51st (also incredible). Le Baratin is probably the best authentic French bistro in NYC. The food is amazing ever single time I go and I am remembering dining with Michael and his father for more than50 years

Dan Castillo

Great food good ambiance

Jeofrey Gacad

Cozy, cheerful staff.. different from other French spots in the city. Authentic and unpretentious place to just unwind and enjoy a hearty meal. Baguette and butter were amazing. Listen and try the specials too! Steak frites was the perfect portion and the duck was just about the best duck you can get get. Mashed potatoes were delicious too!

Ilana Kurzer

I really enjoyed Le Baratin. It was a very friendly and fun atmosphere. The burger I had was by far the best burger I've ever eaten! I tried snails for the first time ever and loved them! The red wine was amazing! I highly recommend Le Baratin!

Mark Sehl

This new French restaurant has superb food, an intimate atmosphere and a welcoming staff. The first time there I was escorted to a seat at the bar by Michael one of the owners. I had salmon for dinner. It was cooked to just the right temperature, served with asparagus tied with a piece of bacon, ratatouille and a roasted tomato. I also have tasted the duck and their amazing burger. Finish off with a chocolate crepe. You can't go wrong with this combination of gracious service, friendly patrons, and great food.

Benjamin Taylor

Very good! Quick service, easy to get a reservation, and friendly staff. Atmosphere is cozy - tight spaces, and a little bit loud like another reviewer stated. Definitely a place to try out.

Jessica Pawl

Intimate and cozy atmosphere; if you're looking for a place where French locals go to mingle and tell raunchy jokes at the bar, this is it - in a good way!

John Kennedy

Great place good atmosphere. Beautiful staff and the food was exquisite.

April Haas

A friend and I stopped by for brunch and it was perfect. Good food and friendly and attentive service. The quiche is probably the best I have ever had. We moved to the bar after we were done and ended up spending most of the afternoon. Definitely coming back for dinner.

Doug DeCarlo

Lively little place with excellent food.

John Clark

Duck with fig sauce was delicious. Creme brulee also amazing. Staff very friendly. Highly recommended.

Mica Matlack

I've loved Le Baratin since my first time in August of 2013. I had the chocolate mousse and I kind of regret it. Because I'm not from NY and I have been craving it for the past 4 years. While the great food and vibe hasn't changed since my first time, the mousse unfortunately did. But that wasn't a bad thing because this newer mousse? With tiny flecks of delicious chocolate? Is equally as delicious. My goodness, they seem to get it right every time. But that wasnt all I had. I got a moscow ule with gin instead of vodka and it was sublime. And their salmon burger? If you can't think of what to get, TRUST ME when I say you GOTTA get the salmon burger. The food was amazing and the vibe was cultured chill like I've never seen before. I gotta say; Le Baratin is still the same amazing as 4 years ago. And I don't think I'll make it that long again before I cave and come back..

Charles Fried

Casual friendly small cozy French place.

Kuixi He

Food tasted great. Good selection of wine and friendly table service. Would come again. Waiter offered us drinks to finish our meal and even gave us a small desert cake for my friends birthday. Would come again if you are looking for a home like French meal.

S Sadoff

This is a great spot. Normal people. Good food. Good drinks. Great staff.

Steven Smith

Food was delicious and staff was courteous. It seems that the place is popular with those who live in the neighborhood

Paul Cheong

The gnocchi I had were good. The place is a little cramped. Ok service.

Harry DeBari

Overcooked bad tasting burger, limp salad dressed heavily. Wont repeat

Julie Reale

If you have ever been to Paris, and are longing for the French bistro feel again, LeBaratin is the place for you. The vibe is very French, the food is delicious and of course the wine is great. But what I like most about LeBaratin is the staff. As a shy single woman that likes to dine alone at the bar, I knew this was my new regular spot after my first visit. The waitstaff introduced me to all the regulars and quickly made me feel like family. Even tho I can't speak a lick of French, I am hoping that if I hang out at LeBaratin enough I will be fluent in no time. But there is a trick to great service..... be nice!!! If you are nice to the waitstaff, they will bend over backwards for you. This goes for anywhere, but the French really don't like obnoxious behavior. My favorite dishes are the baked Brie, mussels, salmon, steak frites and the skate. And when I'm feeling really indulgent I love the charcuterie, it's so good. And the chocolate mousse is killer!!

Victor VOISIN

Good ambiant!

Brendan Snyder

Solid menu but a bit cramped and noisy for dinner. Would recommend for an early evening meal of drinks after work.

Cecile Hollman

Great French Bistro with decent price for the location. Delicious Beef tartare! Place is a bit small so make sure to reserve. If you go there during the US Open you might see some French tennis players feasting.

Aron Beck

This place sure knows how to please their clients. Constantly with a very kind approach. The food is fairly priced, regularly fresh and neat.

Lyudmila Margolina

U can't go wrong with any dish u order!

Paul Ness

Great place, lovely atmosphere and excellent food. Highly recommend it

Michael Talis

Solid French bistro. Wait for our table was much longer than maître d' had promised, but they made it up to us with free glasses of wine for our party of 4 and free glasses of champagne for us at the end. Impressive service!

Cristina Vergano

Authentic french food; French owners and guests. Great atmosphere.

Yassine Benjelloun

Michael DeLeo

Great local spot with a casual vibe.

Armin Radoncic

Amazing restaurant. Great food, great vibes, great service. The drinks are strong (huge plus) and the baked brie is a MUST. Definitely will return and will be recommending others to visit this establishment.

Paolo Boado

I have become a regular at this amazing bistro that has now been open for more than a year. The steak tartare is probably the best I have had anywhere and the mussels and steak frites are always excellent. The escargots definitely keeps me coming back. For the entree I ordered the duck with a fig sauce and it was perfect. It tasted like a filet. The staff consistently does an excellent job with wine recommendations. I will be back soon!

Armando Santos R.

Wonderful place! Amazing food! Wonderful service.

François-Xavier Meyer

Laura Bobek

This I my "go-to" place for great drinks, French food, and fun people!

Liz Corbett Csordas

Burger is just ok. Beer & wine only. But nice staff!

Luca Tosatto

A truly outstanding little restaurant that perfectly fits in the Village's atmosphere. We went there with a few friends and had excellent (european level) food, the tartar, coq au vin and the crem brulee´ were really good. I highly recommend that you go to this place before it becomes incredibly popular and expensive!

Adrian

First time here - great place and truly French in the most positive way. Attentive with the right attitude- love it. Will come back.

Sara Olsson

Amazing food and cozy atmosphere, really enjoyed it.

Carlos Villavieja

Great steak tartar and good appetizers. A bit noisy but awesome place for good food and large parties. I wouldn't recommend it for a romantic dinner. Needs some improvement on the wine list. Duck and the steaks were also very tasty. Loved the mussels.

Sean Brady

Excellent food and superb neighborhood chic vibe. I love coming here.

Olga Gorbunova

I came here on a recommendation from a friend. And everything she conveyed to me was true: the food had a real French feel and the cocktail and wine list was perfectly matched to the food selection. Our waiter was incredible: very attentive, polite, and accommodating as I have a food allergy.

Nicolas Vachicouras

The meat is amazing! The ambiance is great and the service is perfect. Very friendly staff and very professional. Their food is delicious. I highly recommend it!

VILLALARD Axel

Asked kindly by the waiter just after paid : "could you free up?" ... pleasant moment but i stay on the end...

Alejandro Farias

Great food and ambience

Maria Montanez

Love it! Good food especial the steak, very cozy....

Hermon Khangura

A group of six of us recently went here and had a great time. I decided to try it after a friend told me about it. The menu has something for everyone. To start we ordered a few apps to share. The salads and mussel were perfect. Everyone was really happy with their entrees. I had the duck with the mashed potatoes. Delicious! Definitely try some of the homemade desserts. Staff was friendly and welcoming. We never felt rushed. Would definitely recommend. Excellent location, staff and ambiance.

Andrea Barrett

Weekday Dinner: Gracious host, stiff drinks, delicious food, excellent servers, all in a loud, tight, claustrophobic space.

Marjorie Barlet

Excellente French food, great atmosphere. Michel, the owner is very friendly. Highly recommend!!!!

Ricardo Jardim

Great place , Fantastic food and great service.

Steve Bederman

Inexpensive French food

Marion Williams

Great atmosphere and service

Joe Enoch

Great food and spectacular service. Amazing how smooth the engine is running there given how new this restaurant is. Be sure to try the burger with foie gras. It's quite possibly the most delicious burger I've ever had. The dessert crepes are also pretty amazing. Looking forward to my next meal here!

Jae Yoo

Clean French. Very good.

Karen Grane

Always the best

Krista Prestek

Came here with another family for brunch, 4 adults and 4 kids. We were late for our reservation and they still took us which was nice, but unfortunately the rest of the meal suffered from a really rude waiter. The food was slow, and when a couple who'd arrived after us got their food first, we asked to check on ours and were told "it's coming, it takes time." Fair point, but why go out of your way to make us feel bad for asking? My eggs and spinach gratin were delicious but cold in the center, and I asked for them to heat them up a little more. I can't think of another time in my life I've sent food back honestly, but it seemed like it would be so easy to fix. After 15 minutes, I asked after my food, since everyone else was finishing up, and the waiter was sarcastic again, muttering and commenting as he walked away, visibly annoyed. It was just so unnecessary and demeaning. I won't be back.

Eric Johnson

Great food and super comfortable for a relaxed meal

Mansi Trikha

Had a lovely birthday dinner here! The restaurant is pretty small but so cozy and cute. The decor really gives you a French feel and many of the servers are actually French. The food was out of this world. We started with the baked brie which is to die for. I really wanted to order more. I then had the salmon while my mom ordered the gnocchi and we had a side of truffle fries. The salmon and gnocchi were cooked to perfection and the truffle fries were great. Overall this place was outstanding! I definitely wanna come back here for brunch one day.

Laura Marafetti

Very nice place, fantastic friendly ambiance and great food. The place is quite small though, and crowded.

Stanley Smith

As always Fabulous..

Antoine de Joigny

One of the best place to eat in NY

Sybil Sage

dot wingless

Good comfort French food. Good value brunch

Jamie Fuller

Review for late night - you know when there are people dancing on the chairs to amazing music that you are going to have a good time here. Highly recommended for the music, service, and strong drinks!

Albert Chan

Very cozy spot and the mood in the dining area is great for date nights. With dim lighting and cozy seating its a great spot for it. Had the mussels last night and its was cooked just right, sweet and light. Did enjoy the house salad with a peppery dressing which I never had before. Will definetley go back again to try the steak which the table next to us had and very tempting for me to change my order.

Dima Karlin

Great French bistro. Cozy, tasty food, good wine, great energy.

Jannah Mahmoud

Delicious appetizers and amazing entrees. Ordered everything on the menu and it was excellent! Dessert was also fabulous: creme brûlée and chocolate mousse, top notch!

Stefany Berni

Awesome food

Foodlover Girl

Le Baratin means "smooth talker" who can BS about anything, like a clever fox. Therefore, their logo contains cute and fashionable fox. They also had a cute fox on the top their bar. Loved that little touch. The inside was bright, larger than I thought it would be, even though it was not a huge space. It had a bar to the left, right by the entrance, as this is more than just a restaurant but also a bar where you can enjoy some beers and wines. I love the interior of this place, with lots of antique trays, arts, and signs. The wall was painted warm pastel yellow, with part of it covered with old-fashioned tiles that matches the wall paint color. The wall on the right side was exposed red brick, creating that cozy atmosphere. For food, we ordered Croque Madame and Le Burger Baratin. They were pretty darn great! They both came with pommes frites and salad. I liked how they just came with them, instead of "choice of fries or salad." They were big portions, so we didn't have any room left for dessert. Maybe next time. I would love to go back again for more of their simple and traditional French bistro fare. Everything was really good, and the female server was super nice and sweet. And the fact that she was French added our French brunch experience. If you want some French food at comfy, relaxing cute little cafe, give them a try, and make sure to bring your partner before someone else does!

Adrien kouskous

Amazing french restaurant , nice staff and great food ! what else ?!

Christine Leverett

Really delicious food in quaint space

Charles DeVerna

in this small, cozy authentic French Bistro, the food is well portioned( large) and delicious.Appetizers shared was a beautiful and tasty salad de chevre as well as the baked brie( also with a fresh salad) and last, everybodys favorite, the croque bites...YUM! Our main courses were possibly better. A simple grilled large NY Strip/fritte , a Filet mignon special in a beautiful dark sauce accompanied by large portion of mashed potatoes and string beans.( didnt get a taste my nephew ate is so fast!). The Poulet Roti was a terrific plate of food and the magret de canard was a large , medium rare breast of duck with mashed and string beans. The bistro has maybe 40 seats, so it gets a bit loud and it is close quarters but the vibe is wonderful, the food even better.

elisabeth louvari

Un accueil!|des mets!et le son ....

Eric Cedeno

Came here for my birthday dinner, everything was delicious. The croque monsieur bites, the steak, and the wines. Service was amazing and it was one of those gem restaurants were you feel as if you are a part of a larger experience because the energy and vibe is so positive. Nothing but people enjoying their food and the company they are with!

Charlie S

Stumbled into this cozy place - it was a busy Saturday and we didn't have a reservation but they were very accommodating. Maybe my joke en française helped, who knows? The food was excellent as well. Merci mes amis

Caitlin Smith

delicious food, great prices, wonderful French ambiance

Xavi Gonzalvo

The place is not too big but they managed to take us for a birthday party. It was around 13 of us and we had a lot of fun. Good food and good wine selection.

Daniel Cavarroc

Génial. Service super sympa...

Fabulous French bistro with attentive and friendly service and delicious food! The salad Lyonnaise and saffron mussels are top notch! And creme brûlée and chocolate mousse are great, too! Highly recommend!

noname justus

First place I ate when I moved to NYC. Love the food and atmosphere.

Patrick Au-Yeung

Small bar and restaurant serving traditional French comfort food. Great place for a glass of wine and some authentic French dishes.

antonella canfora

A very nice place. Quality food.

Cory Heiler

I visited NYU with a friend and afterwards hungrily stumbled upon this gem. The size of the entire restaurant is about the size of my South Philly apartment bedroom yet it fills out very nicely, and with all the attractive French people around you sort of don't mind being a little cramped. As for the food, the Salmon cut like butter, I ordered dessert twice, and they've somehow managed to finally turn me onto the taste of cilantro.
