Classic Lyonnaise Bistro is a French Gem in NYC!
Our family has ties to France and we appreciate wonderful cuisine. Having eaten here a couple times before, knew this would be an excellent dining choice for the family on Mother's Day. Needless to say, Le Gratin did not disappoint. The food is simple, yet so delicious. The bread is the best French bread you will find in the city. The duck dishes were fantastic, the pastis is a great way to get your palate ready, the wine accompanying dinner was very good, and the rhubarb tart was unexpectedly delicious. Our servers Sami and Carla were again very attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. Truly exceptional in NYC! The consistency of Le Gratin and the dedicated commitment to a Lyon-based menu with all of the standards (gratin dauphinois is so good we order two helpings!) plus some very unique items for those more adventurous. If you want a good dining experience without breaking the bank, come to this French gem. Bravo Daniel et tout l'equipe!

Great meal and service. Best chicken ever. Enough pommes dauphinois to sink a battleship. Unbelievably good value for NYC too.
Be the first to ReplyClassic French fare
The atmosphere here is wonderful. It makes you feel like you’re in France. Friendly and efficient service. Good choice of cocktails and wine. All of the dishes we had were very good, but not excellent. For example, the I found the mushrooms that came with the escargot dish excessively salty and garlicy (and I’m a big garlic lover) and the duck was a touch too rare and lacking the perfect sear. Overall, a very enjoyable meal.

Be the first to ReplyRude staff can cost a business
Unfortunately I can't review the food as I never had the opportunity to try it. Looking for somewhere to dine downtown on a fairly quiet Wednesday evening I checked Resy for nearby restaurants with availability & came across Le Gratin showing an open table for two within the next 15 mins. As I was so close by I decided to stop in rather than make the booking online. The 'hostess' (hesitate to call her this as the term by definition suggests an understanding of hospitality) immediately said that there was no availability upon enquiring. Despite a number of empty tables nearby, I understand that these may not always be available, so told her that Resy was showing availability for a table of two. Her response was 'Yeah, well Resy says a lot of things & I think I know better what's actually going on here'. There was no need to be rude, I would have accepted a simple 'there must be a problem with the system'. It was only made worse when I said 'no problem, we'll have to go somewhere else', only to be met with a sarcastic 'ha ha good luck'. In any hospitality setting this kind of poor service/attitude is uncalled for & unacceptable, in a city with so many dining options, it is simply ignorant. Other would be diners should keep in mind that even if they don't face this kind of rudeness, according to this evening's hostess if they have made a reservation online, their chosen online booking platform 'says a lot of things' & the reservation may not in fact actually be honoured. Very Poor.

Le Gratin had a wonderful ambience, attentive service, and delicious food! The decor and music genuinely made us feel transported back to France. My husband and I have found our go-to brunch spot when staying downtown.
Be the first to ReplyOnly two weaknesses but they were missteps that cost this review a star
We had a fabulous Thanksgiving meal here, a three-course prix fixe menu in which all nine dishes were really well done and delicious. And having just returned from Paris, it was surprising that this brasserie really felt Parisian---except for two inexplicable missteps. First was loud background music that played throughout our meal. What?!? Why? It was irritating. Second was the service, and for a place like this. Our waiter vanished after the appetizer and we never really got a replacement. A hand-off that didn't get handed-off? For example, we ordered a bottle of wine and twice had to ask where it was so that we could get our glasses refilled. Another time we needed cutlery. Why was the service so spotty. Paid the $600 all-in bill for three and exited, pleased with the meal but puzzled by the experience.

Fantastic French cuisine.... A wine flight, gratin dauphinois, Pithivier de Gibler, Trout Caviar eggs, oysters and the Cod with beans. Spectacular meal.
Be the first to ReplyGreat brunch
Just had a brunch with friends. Overall, great food! A bread basket, pate, mussels, tuna and steak tartare, croque monsieur were fantastic. Escargot was a bit blend. A great service and nice atmosphere. I would definitely recommend it.
Be the first to ReplyAmazing Food and Even More Amazing Service
Food here was amazing and we wud come back in a heart beat. I also love their lax dress code because who wants to eat in uncomfortable clothing. Even more amazing is the general manager who was so professional and kind to us. Very grateful for her hospitality.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Crabe Marie Rose, Dover sole, and grilled branzino, followed by the crème caramel and gâteau chocolat. All were expertly-prepared, the service was impeccable, and the space was gorgeous.

A gem of a restaurant. A REAL French bistro. French menu. French waiters and sommelière, and French cook. My steak was cooked perfectly (medium-rare) and the very nice sommelière knew her wines. Beautiful european decor. Great vibe to the place. We will return. On y retournera définitivement !
Be the first to Replybeautiful setting, excellent service and food -- A+++
We have been to the bucherons in Lyons, France, and this restaurant captures their atmosphere as well as menu. We went for brunch -- had a most enjoyable experience. The wait staff was attentive and knew the menu. I had a kir royale, made just perfectly. The quenelle was splendid. And the side of lyonnaise potatoes that I finished at home with this evening's dinner was made perfectly. Potatoes sliced thin, and excellent flavor with the cheese melted to a nice browned top. Will definitely go again even though a bit out of the way from where I stay in NYC. It is worth the trip!
Be the first to ReplyFabulous new Boulud restaurant
Always been fan of Daniel Boulud’s restaurants in NYC. Had to try Le Gratin. So glad we did. Service was impeccable. The room is gorgeous. Drinks and wines were great abd the food was fabulous. Missed the frisée salad that used to be at Bar Boulud, but a relative appeared as a Lyonnaise salad and it was great. We will definitely be back. And soon
Be the first to ReplyGreat food and atmosphere
We went to dinner last night and had a fabulous evening. Our cocktails were delicious, I got something called Motion d'0r and it was so refreshing and delicious. We had the onion soup, duck, chicken, gratin potatoes, and green beans. The servings were incredibly generous. Our server was also attentive.
Be the first to ReplyA French Culinary Kiss.
Le Gratin, a bouchon ( a boisterous French bistro) Lyonnais, is located in the Beekman Hotel in downtown Manhattan. This Parisian-styled eatery is helmed by culinary chieftain, Daniel Boulud and his crew. A menu fly over revealed a raft of Lyonnais cuisine with items like Roast Duck Breast, Grilled Bronzino with caramelized fennel, Quenelle de Brochette au Gratin, and a cast of others. I couldn't resist the Onion Soup and the Escargot plated with pig trotter (the menu piece de resistance...in my opinion). As a fish lover, I choose the Pan Seared Dover Sole ............ exceptional. Choux et Prune a la creme...a creme puff with roasted pear was superb. The Wine list was extensive with a focus on varieties of France and the cocktail program encompassed the classics and is skewed to French concoctions. Le Gratin could be considered a romantic setting with excellent French fare.

Great new spot Traditional big flavors and simple dishes A bit more pricey than a bouchon in France but it’s NY we know how it is here $20 wines cost $80
Be the first to ReplyGreat Experience
Met a fabulous NY'er here for dinner on a recent trip to the City. We started at the bar for a glass of wine, while we waited for our table to be ready. Once seated, we sipped our wine, enjoyed the ambience of the beautiful space, and perused the menu. I chose the Magret de Canard Au Poivre Vert with glazed vegetables and green peppercorn sauce. My friend decided on the baked cod, with a paprika crust , and seasonal bean fricassee. We shared a side of Gratin Dauphinois Comme Marie which according to the menu, is Chef Daniel Boulud's mother's recipe. Everything we ate, was delicious. Unfortunately, neither one of us had room for dessert. Next time for sure! I was only in NYC for the weekend and therefore only had the opportunity for three dinners. I am glad I chose Le Gratin for one of them. Great company + yummy food = a wonderful experience!
Be the first to ReplyFrench feeling
Le Gratin feels very much like a French Bistro in downtown Manhattan. Doishes are authentic french and cooked really well. The half roast chicken reminded me of many I have enjoyed in France. The Cod with white beans is also excellent. for starters the Crab salad is excellent as are the Rillettes.
Be the first to ReplyLike Eating at a Very Good Parisian Bistro
The chicken, pike, salad, onion soup were all at a high standard. The soup was a little greasy probably due a lack of skimming of the fat from the beef stock. Service was very good. The sommelier made a good recommendation for the wine. The restaurant was packed on a Saturday night. The restaurant looks like a typical high quality Beaux Arts style Paris bistro.
Be the first to ReplyChef Daniel Boulud's Le Gratin, Bouchon Lyonnais is an instant favorite
Chef Daniel Boulud is like the energizer bunny of restauranteurs. His latest edition, Le Gratin, brings you back to his home city in Lyon without the cost of an airline ticket. For fans of Anthony Bourdain and CNN’s “Parts Unknown”, you might remember the episode where Chef Daniel and Tony travel to Lyon to visit French Chef Luminary Paul Bocuse. They also visit Daniel’s parents at the chef’s childhood home. Bourdain claimed that this episode was the best “foodie” show of the series. Lyon is revered as one of France’s most epic culinary hot spots. Le Gratin is a small, usually crowded restaurant in the trendy Beekman Hotel in lower Manhattan. The menu is authentic as you can get. Fresh oysters, Moules Frites, Steak Frites, Escargot, Pan Seared Dover Sole, Capers-Lemon Brown Butter, Roasted Malard Duck Breast, traditional Bouillabaisse in Saffron broth, to name a few. A must-order is Chef Daniel’s Mothers Potatoes Cheesy Au Gratin. The wine list had many value-priced bottles and higher-level classic fine wines. The servers and managers were very attentive and accommodating. Save room for the delectable desserts if you can. Reservations required!
Be the first to ReplyDine in France sans the hassle of flying
I took a friend celebrating a big birthday here last week, and toward the end of our wonderful meal, I remarked that while I've heard about celebrity chefs who have spread themselves too thin, leading to quality control problems, Daniel Boulud does not seem to be among them-- over quite a few years, neither of us has ever had a meal at any of his other restaurants that was a misfire. I also remarked to our excellent waiter that dining here was like being in France, and in saying that, I wasn't referring merely to the pre-existing Art-Nouveau decor which creates such a warm and enveloping atmosphere. (Speaking of which, be sure and check out the other public rooms of the amazing Beekman hotel as long as you're here!) We arrived good and hungry and made the most of it, starting with some small but superb oysters, then moving on to a marvelous watercress vichyssoise. For main courses, I had a perfectly cooked duck breast with spring vegetables, and my friend chose Le Gratin's take on the classic quenelles de brochet. Served with cheese and mushrooms, they managed to be simultaneously airy and light, and rich and savory at the same time-- far and away the best version of the dish I've ever tried, and I think I even had quenelles in Lyon once! We also had a side of lightly creamed spinach with a sprinkling of my favorite brand of French blue cheese baked over the top. For dessert, my friend had a fantastic creme caramel, and I had an equally delicious layered pastry similar to an opera cake, but with the secondary flavor to the chocolate being coffee rather than hazelnut. Prices are what one would expect for Manhattan, but not bad at all for the wonderful quality of the food, service and ambiance. Le Gratin had only been open for about six or seven weeks when we dined there, but it was already running like a place that had been in business for years, or decades, so smooth and seemingly effortless was the operation. Boulud has crafted another hit, and we can hardly wait to go back and repeat the experience when visiting the city in other seasons.
