About this restaurant

  • Great for brunch
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
Lafayette is an everyday French restaurant conducting the spirit of French dining anew in downtown Manhattan’s NoHo neighborhood. Open morning, noon and night, this grand café and bakery is dedicated to Chef Andrew Carmellini's market-driven bistro cooking in a timeless hallmark setting. Our light-flushed dining room features soaring arched windows overlooking the NoHo streetscapes and a lively rotisserie bar. Our corner boulangerie-patisserie is open all hours offering artisanal breads, croissants, Stumptown coffee drinks, a light breakfast or lunch and a host of confections. In warm weather months, our sidewalk cafe opens daily for open air breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner service.

    Love the food but even though the waitress knew we had a theater curtain to catch, the food came out 10 minutes before we had to leave so it was grab and go. Not ideal and no apologies either.

    The overall experience was decent. The service was polite and timely, and the atmosphere was pleasant, though nothing particularly memorable. The food was fine—some dishes were better than others, but nothing really stood out.

    Disappointed that they did not have enough high chairs on Mother’s Day. Sort of ruined the entire brunch experience.

    Always worth a trip, noisy without being too much. The walk in and out crosses dining and the take away which is a bit crowded but not an issue. Always a good experience and scary efficient kitchen.

    I was a solo diner this last Saturday night at Lafayette. While it was crowded, they nonetheless gave me a very pleasant table. It was crowded. The food, as usual, was excellent. I had the frisee salad, which I always enjoy, and the trout. Very tasty.
