A Taste of Frenchette On a recent visit to Frenchette, we embarked on a culinary journey that celebrated the very heart of French cuisine. Our memorable meal began with the Terrine de Champagne, a delightful and artfully presented dish that was a symphony of flavors and textures. The combination of perfectly seasoned meat, herbs, and buttery goodness melted in our mouths, leaving us yearning for more.

Next on our culinary adventure was the Bavette à l'échalotte. The generous portion of perfectly cooked steak, accompanied by a savory shallot sauce, was a testament to Frenchette's dedication to culinary excellence. It was nothing short of a carnivore's dream come true. For a taste of classic French cuisine with a twist, we delved into the Duck Frites, which showcased tender, flavorful duck confit served alongside perfectly crispy fries. What truly elevated this dish was the velvety Béarnaise sauce, a masterful complement to the rich, tender duck.


No French meal is complete without a fine glass of wine, and Frenchette boasts an extensive and carefully curated selection of wines that pair seamlessly with their menu offerings. Our choice, a robust red, added the perfect finishing touch to our culinary escapade. Parisian Ambiance in the Heart of NYC
