Chefs FeedAugust 5, 2014Mathieu Palombino, chef of Bowery Diner, eats here on his nights off. He loves the La fondue au fromage. Read more
Paul KardousFebruary 14, 2017While the French onion soup is good, the other food is middling to average and the service is some of the worst in the city. Even in a neighborhood with not much choice, this one's a definite miss.
Mara PasquettiAugust 24, 2012best onion soup ever tasted...abordable prices and nice neighborhood. very closed to MoMA!
I used to love the burger, but mine was so over cooked :( hasn’t been as good since the pandemic
Audrey SetiadarmaJune 16, 2012A cheap and delicious eat! Make sure to try the opinion soup! It is to die for.
WP TheaterMarch 19, 2013Who’s a soup fan like we are? La Bonne Soupe has just what we need to keep warm on these cold winter days.
Becky SmithJanuary 21, 2012Best place to get a delicious french casual food among the desert that is midtown dining.
Go to La Bonne Soupe for an inexpensive dinner in the Theater District. Get the soup dinner special (the French onion soup's my favorite) Read more
Daniela ItaloMarch 14, 2010Cheeseburger Français was fantastic. Pre-fix soup (Soupe à l'Oignon*) & salad (w/ bread, dessert & beverage) is also wonderful!
Perfect for an outdoors lunch, if you are midtown : nice cider, nice crêpes !

James CubbonFebruary 8, 2013Good value for listening to old people whinge and moan, but not about the food, cos that's ace.
Faith McCormickJanuary 29, 2011Love the prix fixe diner. The soup is rich and creamy. Perfect for a winter night.
Mary GazellaMay 12, 2010The andalouse soup is rich and lovely and best enjoyed with a glass of red wine and lots of bread.
Alice TeepleMarch 3, 2012Get the mulligatawny soup deal. Filling but healthy, very flavorful. Amazing.
The soup and salad prix fixe is a great light lunch or dinner (includes wine and dessert!) Go for the onion soup.
Joe Moose DembyJuly 10, 2013Can be hit or miss; Sadly just had one of the worst meals out in Manhattan in months. At least they com'ed the salad that tasted a bit "too fishy"
Get the enormous Paillard de Poulet. Plus the dressing is delish & U can purchase it 2 take home.
blah blahhhhhJanuary 5, 2011This place is totally delicious. Get the tomato soup and a glass of wine.
Great restaurant in the midtown wasteland. Soupe a l'oignon is a high point. Also good: filet or steak-frites.
Lynn MillerAugust 8, 2010Ask for Cat. She is THE BEST most helpful, honest, funny French waitress I've ever encountered!
AdamDecember 22, 2015Pretentious service. They won't sit you until all your party arrived. Until then they will let you stand outside.
