French Roast has been fulfilling the appetites and quenching the thirsts of Upper West Side residents for over 27 years. The classic Parisian bistro offers a take on French cuisine that compels locals to return and newcomers to stop in. French Roast serves authentic French and American cuisine to all. Order essentials such as pain au chocolate from the bakery, burgers, and duck confit, and a variety of cocktails served against an antique backdrop of wood-polished chairs and vintage chandeliers reminiscent of a Parisian café.

    Very nice, reliable neighborhood bistro: a little loud at Sunday brunch, but not unexpected and didn’t really diminish our enjoyment. Prompt, friendly service, excellent grub, very nice vibe.

    It’s always great when French Roast does special events and Oktoberfest was great . Between the pumpkins, hay and fall decor you walked into a fun decorated Oktoberfest celebration . We shared the pretzel that was the size of our head , had both the Oktoberfest beers that were offered the chicken schnitzel and the apply named “ best of the wurst “ plate with 4 different types of sausages and wurst served with creamy mashed potatoes and sauerkraut . Ended the meal with a delicious apple strudel . A fun change for neighborhood regulars like us .

    We ate outside under the shed. The noise level varied depending on the ambulances and fire trucks. 😏
