The perpetually jam-packed bistro in Soho’s Spring Street, Balthazar serves traditional French cafe cuisine. With it’s classic French ambience that is constantly buzzing,  you feel you have stepped off the streets of Manhattan into a quaint yet upscale Parisian eatery.

Some of their popular dishes include Steak Frites, Short Ribs, the Escargot braised in white wine and the French Onion Soup– which is consumed around an astonishing 15 gallons everyday.

Also known for “celebrity-watching”, the restaurant has high ceilings and large antiquated mirrors. It also informally reserves its coveted burgundy leather banquettes for well-known elites. As you dig into every bite of your Tarte Tatin, you’re be sure to spot at least one familiar face in the city!

Although known to be one of the best French Brasserie’s in New York, be warned that Balthazar is on the expensive side. For those simply looking for a sweet nibble or some warm bread, the Balthazar bakery has an incredible selection of homemade bread, muffins and scones that can be ordered via take-out or delivery.
