Super cute and cozy, perfect for date night. My tagliatelle was very rich and a bit too buttery but my partner really enjoyed his burger. The roasted baby lettuce was delicious. Enjoy!

This West Village corner café by the team behind Odeon in Tribeca caters to a very discerning crowd—and it's consistently packed, thanks to its comfortable-classy ambience. Read more

Very cute french cafe and one of the best breakfast spots in nyc. Go early if you want to avoid the wait. I recommend the berries w/ cream and the eggs.

Grilled chicken is an outstanding dinner dish - sauce amazing and potatoes cooked perfectly; salmon, grilled tuna burger, and the steak frites are other notable winners. A must try for brunch as well

Love the fried egg sandwich and the avocado toast. Brioche French toast is amazing but heavy so share it! Cafe latte also really good.
Paul SanwaldAugust 23, 2015
A lot of the tips are for brunch, but this is also an excellent place for dinner. The lardon salad with egg, paired with a special soup, makes a nice, not too heavy dinner.
Manuela ZoninseinDecember 19, 2015
Tho most of dinner here has lost its special touch, the Artichokes Barigoule & its out-of-this-world lemon-ginger broth make the whole trip worthwhile.
Giulia MJune 12, 2016
3 course prix fixe dinner is the BEST deal ($35) - Burrata toast, frisée salad, steak frites, tagliatelle, chocolate torte, banana trifle

Allan's favorite spot. So cozy here—you can drink, eat + talk for hours without noticing! Solid cocktails. For dinner? Start with the wild market mushrooms + try their octopus dish as an entree 🐙.

Food was delicious - highly recommend the salmon and beef tartar. Ambience was relaxing and cozy. Service was superb. Will be back!

the brunch wait can be intimidating on sunday, but it moves fast! split the french toast and breakfast sandwich. this cozy neighborhood gem is delicate with natural light and delightfully inviting

My to go spot for breakfast! Everything is good but love the yogurt with granola the most. It's creamy, rich, and heavenly
Christian BorgesDecember 3, 2019
Great service and food. Good place to have some upscale café food in a comfortable, cozy neighborhood spot. Chill for a few hours over a glass of wine.
Jamie PeretzmanMay 31, 2015
Get the brioche French toast! Comes with fresh fruit and syrup from upstate NY. Also get the side of hash browns! Comes in the shape of a pie slice!

Not the best brunch in town, and selection is pretty limited, but tasty and pleasant overall. We had the highly recommended Breakfast Club Sandwich with fresh salad. Extra toast will cost you $5(!)
Mia AJanuary 3, 2023
this place must be mostly for the vibes…$40 for a tiny soup and a side 😐😐

Great brunch (get the BLAT), but, surprisingly, they may have one of the best steak frites in New York. Don't worry if it's crowded; just go sit at the bar.

"If you're out for a stroll near the corner of West 12th and West 4th Streets, this little cart is worth a stop. For its resemblance to banana pudding, the Banana-nilla wafer ice cream is our pick. "
Collin NgDecember 3, 2013
amazing quaint little place in the west village. AMAZING brunch. The breakfast sandwich was one of the best i've ever had, and the frites were executed perfectly.

Still one of the best classic frisée salads in town. Sit at the bar and enjoy a super-horseradishy Bloody Mary.
ShahMay 25, 2015
The strawberry rhubarb tart is one of the best deserts I've ever had. The hash browns and the eggs Benedict were stellar as well. Highly recommended.
Kiwi WangApril 14, 2017
Duck confit hash isn't the lightest of lunches but SO rich and delicious. All things egg related are a win.
Norman EllisJune 19, 2017
You can't go wrong with the Duck Confit and the Caramelized Banana Pudding trifle. Both are beyond delish!
Time Out New YorkAugust 8, 2013
This beloved French stalwart rebooted its menu in February 2013 & unveiled a sky-high CLUNY Burger so impressively jaw-stretching, it seems to challenge the Eiffel Tower. Read more

Such a lovely place! If you like gin, get the Camomile and Ivy cocktail (St. Vincent is a bit too too for me. It's not as grapefruity as one would expect.)

If you like banana pudding, you'll love the Banana Nilla Wafer ice cream at the summer ice cream cart in front of Cafe Cluny. It only appears sporadically, so you must be vigilant.
Steven YApril 2, 2014
Great cozy French place for brunch - try the brioche french toast and the breakfast club sandwich; be sure to come early to avoid the lines
Hannah BDecember 26, 2015
Amazing brunch, one of the best eggs benedicts I've ever had. Get a seat at the bar (never a wait) and enjoy the people watching!
Genevieve CrainOctober 20, 2013
Our go-to brunch place in NYC. Food is amazing, hip without the pretension. Get there before 11:30p or expect a wait. Baby/stroller-friendly.
Brant McQuittyApril 16, 2016
Cozy bistro with a perfect burger. The servers are somewhat aloof, but look smart in the St. James striped shirts.
Melissa RosenthalSeptember 23, 2014
Great west village brunch spot. Try the frisée salad with a poached egg and bacon lardons.
Taralê WulffApril 6, 2016
Honestly....I've only ever had the tuna burger. It's amazing and until I grow tired of it, I will keep having it. It's not boring, it's just THAT good. 😍
TheoryDecember 27, 2011
NY. One of our favorite brunch spots, Café Cluny brings elements of a French café’s menu and mood to the big city. The Cluny Burger add bacon is a must-have dinner entrée.
Tom M.August 31, 2015
Checkout the ice cream cart out front -- rotating flavors, oh so good like this cappuccino chocolate chip
Sofia CaseNovember 25, 2015
Brunch is a wait. But oh, the short rib hash!
Jastine KhoApril 9, 2017
Cozy ambience, attentive waiters, delicious food. Perfect place for brunch.

Café Cluny brings a slice of Parisian bistro chic to the neighborhood. Its naturalist theme, replete with taxidermy displays & wall of clay pigeons provide a quirky backdrop to a delicious lunch. Read more

Came for breakfast and ordered an oatmeal. It was massive and delicious. Wish there was outdoor seating
Daniel PowellNovember 10, 2016
Classics done right. Somewhat pricey but great location, solid eats, and comfy vibe.
James KiernanAugust 6
Pricey but it remains a West Village classic. Order fries and oysters with some vino and enjoy!
Jane DongDecember 22, 2014
Brussel sprouts (maple and pancetta) highlight of my meal. And the banana pudding there - definitely a great must have dessert
Vicky MitzAugust 28, 2017
One of my favourite brunch spots. Small, cosy French Restaurant with some great food. Try the French Toast!
AlyssaDecember 1, 2015
Great breakfast spot in the West Village, loved the breakfast egg and cheese sandwich and the fries are perfectly crisp.
Sam MaddenJune 2, 2013
Short rib hash was amazing, as were the eggs Benedict, and egg sandwich club. If you're in the West Village you can't go wrong here
Ben HaddockOctober 4, 2016
Lovely, quaint place. We went for dinner and the atmosphere was great. Steak for mains was really good.
Amanda JabesApril 15, 2018
A small slice of Europe in the west village with an organic American twist. Try the açaí bowl!
Ranu RajkarnikarJuly 26, 2018
Beef tartare is amazing! Sit at the bar with a martini and tartare for a great solo meal.
Jess HueyApril 24, 2016
Cozy cute cafe in the west village! Great for a weekend brunch!
Alp OzcelikMay 6, 2014
Their asparagus appetizer is amazing (with beef bacon and pickled mushrooms!) the mozzarella appetizer is melted so don't expect a ball!
Dan RobertsFebruary 20, 2017
Friend chicken sandwich is incredible. Get it with the side of fries, which are thin and covered with herbs and delicious.
