Vegetarian lasagne is served during Winter on Wednesday's only. Absolutely delicious with eggplant, zucchinis and mushrooms. The original shop on 36th street is by far the best.

Oh my goodness. The milk chocolate marshmallow macaron is heaven. Solid French bites and coffee as well.

When it comes to macarons, they have a flair for the extreme. Their flavors include Pumpkin Cinnamon, Grapefruit and Jasmine, Tahini Sesame and Nutella. Cute, inventive and fun! Read more

Baby pink and white fixtures and specialty baked goods (served by the single or dozen) make morning coffee and special occasion dessert runs that much sweeter.

You may want to order yogurt with granola and fruits for breakfast, it's always made fresh with organic ingredients. One of my favorite. And coffee of course!

Though known for delectable macaroons, their lunch options are just as good. Capri sandwich on a fresh French baguette or the popular Venezia salad are 2 of my favorites.
Gabriel HayesMarch 21, 2016
Best place for macarons in midtown. One of my favorite macaron places in all of NYC.

Get the Rose Lychee flavored macarons; it's the best macaron flavor in the whole city. Ladurée Paris' flavors can't even compare !
Serious EatsMarch 25, 2013
It's known for the macarons, of course, but their sandwiches and such are good too.

A hidden gem in the fashion district. Authentic French cafe with delicious food and waitresses in French maid outfits.
Meg CallenderAugust 9, 2013
Not bad. I enjoy the strong flavors. About middle of the road quality for the macaroons that I've had in NYC.

The chicken salad is wonderful: perfectly cooked chicken, peas, carrots, tomato, celery and a lovely vinaigrette with a horseradish kick.

Get the siciliano sandwich! One of the few places in NYC that carries bresaola

Soft but crispy, light but decadent, cake yet crusty and delightfully chewy with a smear of some kind of heaven inside.
Andres NovoaNovember 4, 2015
The espresso and the matcha macarons were great!!

Macaron Day 2016 Participant: the coconut macaron was great.

Coffee/espresso is wonderful. Macarons are hit or miss. Make sure you let them get to room temperature first. I think the fruit ones are better.
jared zlotnickAugust 19, 2011
Avoid the lunch time rush and drop in after 3 PM for a cappuccino and macaroon. The Paris is my favorite sandwich.
Monnie GrauJuly 23, 2010
Try to avoid going here around lunch hour! It gets PACKED.If you do wind up there when it is insanely crowded, walk right up to the bar if you are just getting a macaron, they let you order first.
Dan NugentJune 4, 2014
The cookies are good, but the daily lunch specials are amazing.
Gal SivanApril 2, 2012
Amazing cookies! Haven't tasted anything like this in ny for awhile. Try the pistachio. Or dark chocolate. Awesome
Cuppy CakeOctober 26, 2012
Try the Assorted French Macaroons - Pistachio, Nutella, almond, flavor.
Jovan MAugust 20, 2012
You must try the pistachio or coconut flavored! They are amazing!
JYOTI SINGHJuly 26, 2016
