French Roast has been fulfilling the appetites and quenching the thirsts of Upper West Side residents for over 27 years. The classic Parisian bistro offers a take on French cuisine that compels locals to return and newcomers to stop in. French Roast serves authentic French and American cuisine to all. Order essentials such as pain au chocolate from the bakery, burgers, and duck confit, and a variety of cocktails served against an antique backdrop of wood-polished chairs and vintage chandeliers reminiscent of a Parisian café.

Definitely loud for brunch, but that’s to be expected in a space this small. And all the food and drinks were delicious - everything was clearly fresh and super flavorful. Some of the best coffee in the city.

Considering how high the ratings are for the food, I expected it to be better than average, but it wasn’t. There’s also a push to try to squeeze as many people in as possible, so even though we receded near the door where it was freezing from the breeze, they would not see us in a booth that could accommodate six people Instead of our five. Disappointing.

Great venue. I've been coming here for years. The food quality is great and the prices are reasonable. I can't wait to go back again. My favorites are the escargot and the Catalan mussels and fries. My only critique: PLEASE get rid of the TV at the bar.
