Nice Matin is a French spot with solid options for brunch, lunch, and dinner. We like it best on Friday nights, when they serve a special bouillabaisse (seafood soup). They also have a substantial gluten-free menu. The food isn’t cheap and the wine list is impressive, so head here for a special occasion.
Cafe Luxembourg on the UWS is a classic French bistro from the same team as The Odeon in Tribeca.
Cafe Du Soleil is a casual French restaurant near Columbia on the UWS with classic bistro food and some nice outdoor seating.
Marlow Bistro is an Italian restaurant on the Upper West Side that feels like the setting of a first date scene from a 90s romantic comedy.
