Le Fond - New York City

Underrated restaurant alert! Made a reservation for a weeknight and had an amazing meal at Le Fond. My boyfriend and I both started with the cappelletti spritz cocktail and some Hudson Valley chicken liver mousse, then shared: Great meadow farm heirloom tomatoes Stuffed black horse farms snap peas Veritas farms egg tagliatelle Williams farm zucchini cappellacci Black horse farms berry tartlet The highlight was the zucchini cappellacci, but everything was fantastic. Will be back for more ASAP!

Le Fond feels too good to be true. It’s a cozy little spot with a simple wine and food menu. It’s one of those places where you cannot make a bad choice. And on top of all that, it’s very reasonably priced. It feels local, low-key and home made, but with Michelin level taste and presentation. Each dish we had last night brought us somewhere. We started with a gazpacho presented in a champagne glass. It was very authentic, transporting us immediately to a trip we made to Madrid. We then shared three small plates, all delicious, the stand out being a chive and cherry tomato tagliatelle. Again giving an authentic flavor, this time on par with the best pastas we’ve had in Italy. Then, we shared a roasted duck entree that sat over crispy potatoes. The duck fat was perfectly crispy and the middle tender. Finally, we shared a strawberry tartlet with fresh strawberries and blueberries. It was a perfect meal as usual. Part of me doesn’t want to write this to gate keep this cozy place but I couldn’t help myself!

Incredible food (not as heavy as you’d expect) and great wine list. Tasting menu is a good deal!

What a special spot! All of the food at Le Fond is impeccable and the prices are very reasonable for the quality of food that they offer. Great wine selection and lovely vibe. Looking forward to visiting again soon!

We came here after not getting seated somewhere else. The vibes were sleepy but we were optimistic when we realized it was happy hour.The sourdough was absolutely divine and as someone who is a novice at baking my own sourdough, this was the crème de la crème. Moist and tangy with salted butter mmm *chefs kiss*To be honest, the meal was somewhat disappointing after the sourdough. Only because the portions were comically small. We had to do a bang bang (what I call eating two different meals back to back for the fun of it) and headed to Rosette at Brooklyn Winery for a huge cheese board to satiate our boozy group of 4 women.Maybe we should have just done the prix-fixe option but we opted to share several things and each only got 1-2 bites of every dish.
