David's Café

"David’s Cafe, a French American restaurant, has permanently closed. The business had a 'for lease' sign in the window, and owner David Malbequi also runs Spice Brothers next door." - Luke Fortney

"If eating a burger under an umbrella sounds appealing to you in the near future, know that David’s Cafe on St. Marks is open for outdoor service When you order their burger, ask for extra burger sauce on the side, and use it as a dip for the mountain of fries that comes with it." - Hannah Albertine, Matt Tervooren

"Chef David Malbequi brings experience from Daniel Boulud’s group and the BLT restaurants to this French-American cafe. The brunch menu has something for everyone, from lighter kale salads and egg dishes to hangover-busting items such as orange blossom pancakes, a standout burger, a Montreal-style poutine with a hamburger patty. An extensive drink menu includes cocktails, beer, and wine, as well as pitchers of beer, mimosas, and more for those looking to keep the party going." - Carla Vianna, Serena Dai

"This East Village standby from Daniel and BLT Market alum David Malbequi brings high-level execution to comfort staples in a relaxed, large-windowed space. Steak frites comes with an eight-ounce hanger steak and watercress with confit shallots." - Paul Schrodt

"Chef David Malbequi is French, so you’ll find cheap (but good) house wine and a raclette special that’s what dreams are made of." - ByThe Bon Appétit Staff
