    Always great. I love the frisse salad. The chicken soup is killer. A French place with sticky toffee pudding on the menu? Hell, yeah.

    Snug and atmospheric, this West Village standby has been serving seriously good French (Friday bouliabesse is very good!) and less specifically French (tasty tortellini, baked salmon) and not-at-all French (a delicious lobster roll) cuisine for many years. Kind and attentive waitstaff. Low ceiling, but the crowd is generally considerate. If you get a table of howlers near you, ask if you can move to the other room.

    Every visit to NYC includes a trip to Cafe Cluny for an amazing experience that combines the ambiance, cocktails and cuisine to create a memorable meal. And of course, followed by a stroll through the quaint neighborhood.
