La Parisienne

Absolutely love this place!! A little piece of Paris without actually being in Paris. Outside you will find a few cute tiny tables for those who enjoy a little outdoor seating. It is especially nice during the Summer time. Inside, it is a little tight, but still very nice. The decor is very chic. Additionally, you will find deserts on display and other goods for sale (some foreign).

The service is really good here. But on to the good stuff, the food! So I can personally vouch for their French toast, but especially Croque Monsieur sandwich. I have been obsessed with this sandwich every time I come! It's delicate but absolutely delicious. The presentation is also 10/10.

If you are in the city and looking for a great spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch, this is the spot!

Fantastic food and service! I put my name on a waitlist which was ~25 mins but showed up early with being 5th in line and got seated within 10! A small little cafe it smells AMAZING in here! My friend got the French toast (10/10 so fluffy and good) and then I got the sandwich matin (9/10 delicious I do wish it had a little more prosciutto or tomato spread to blend with the avocado/giant brioche bun) and then we shared the croissant with jam (9/10 delicious croissant I just wish for a .75 charge on jam it would be homemade and not a bon maman jar)

Would definitely come back!

I had a lovely morning breakfast here with a colleague one day, at a tiny two-top. The restaurant is crowded, you're sitting quite close to the table next to you, but that is to be expected in NYC.

The service was quick and attentive, and the food was great. Strong, hot coffee, and a fresh fruit and yogurt parfait really hit the spot!

The food here is very fresh and different! I started going a brunch journey lately and I have to admit this is a nice change. The salad and sandwich we ordered was very fresh! It seems to have some French influence. The salad was extremely fresh and combination was very citric but not too much. It's hard to explain but it felt very light and tasty.
The chicken sandwich on the other hand was light as well but didn't felt as much fulfilling. It was very tasty for sure just wasn't a filling. It does taste very nice and light for a sandwich. The salad in the sandwich and apple was very fresh giving it that fresh taste! To top it all off the cookie was extremely sweet! I wouldn't recommend the cookie unless you're an extreme sweat tooth. Service was average, they seat you and take your order.

Tiny little place, decent breakfast (nothing to be wow'ed about, looks better than it tastes) and coffee. Food came out relatively fast but the table service was slow. Perhaps the guy was half awake but it's NYC and you're on Wall Street, let's go. Wouldn't you think you want to be moving a little faster given you only have that much space and tables? Oh and when it comes to time for paying, the selection of tips start at 20%....for what?!

This is a really cute little French cafe. It's a small space but the menu and service is great and it feels like a nice little escape from NYC Fidi by just walking in the door.

We live nearby and regularly like to visit for a morning brunch and coffee - or to pick up fresh pastries. They don't take reservations, so if you want to enjoy this Parisian treat, get here a little early to put your name down and stroll around the neighborhood while you wait.

My favorite dish is the Brioche French toast which comes in two portion sizes, and is loaded with banana and blueberries. Sandwiches, cookies and coffee (cappucinos in large blue mugs) is really good quality too!

A little piece of Paris nearby the World Trade Center memorial. The croque madame was perfectly cooked and memorable. Tight seating but the staff made their best efforts to make it comfortable.

A tiny place in the heart of the Financial District of Lower Manhattan,
I was able to score a table in this cozy cafe. There were sidewalk tables, but were deemed too chilly on this damp day in February.

As is the case at many casual eateries, the menu is found on line where you place your order. The food is brought to you by wait service. Hmm, what if you don't have a smart phone?

The croque monsieur was rich, and as in French ways, very buttery. I enjoyed it.

Such a cute restaurant! I sat outside with my dog, and there's an artificial grass rug - the perfect vibe! Servers are super friendly and attentive, they even brought some water for my dog.

I probably picked the most French things on the menu - a Croque Monsieur with Truffle Béchamel and Foie Gras. Both were absolutely delicious, and it looked so good the customers at the next table asked me what I ordered! Will definitely be back to try other things on the menu!

Found this super cute French cafe in the financial district. Small place with excellent food, coffee, and service. In had the Croque Madame which was absolutely delicious. Bread was excellent and the egg perfectly cooked 8.8/10. The latte was delicious but the latte art was pretty sad 8/10. Loved the ambiance here.
