La Bonne Soupe - New York

Quite the popular place. Packed when we came in after a day at the MOMA. Did not think it would be so crowded since Benoit New York was down the block but the location is filled with regulars. It's cheaper than Benoit New York but not that much. The only thing is the menu got smaller! Not so many choices, but what food remains on the menu are still excellent. Highly recommend the French onion soup and the creme brulee.

Used to be one of my fav place to go many years ago when living in NYC in this neighborhood. So I wanted to go back while visiting NYC … the place still has the cozy atmosphere and the great frites (within other good dishes of course like the onion soup I tried last night) There where at the time I think red/white checkered table cloths but I maybe wrong. Friendly staff. French baguette now is something you order as a side dish served with butter and an excellent jam. It was a nice and pleasant jump in the past.

Next to excellent service and delicious eating, the menu was very interesting and appealing.

Friendly, put French stalwart back. relaxed and reliable so happy it is still there.

Great food, good value. One of my favorite Midtown lunch places.
