Élysée's

The restaurant was empty, considering the restaurants location which was beautiful this was shocking. Furthermore the manager, condescending and empty was rude. He made me pick up my own umbrella and did not indicate to me where to get my coat, this was not only rude but also made me and my girlfriend feel bad for valentines weekend. Our experience was deceitful and I do not recommend going. After waiting for my girlfriends drink for 30 minutes while other tables were being served their drinks and getting the wrong pizza after one hour of waiting this was by far the most unpleasant experience in my years of living in NYC.

This place is absolutely comfortable and nice, I was with my family for lunch and we love the attention of the staff and the attention to detail, they have a varied menu, my favorite is the smoked salmon sandwich but they also have delicious vegetarian options, really amazing food and the cocktails are really perfect, my favorites.

A couple days ago we went to restaurant and everything was perfect. Since the first moment you step inside of the restaurant you can feel the ambiance, and the music goes along very well and the food it’s to die for! Special thanks to our afternoon Bartender David whom take care of us, makes us feel so welcome and the remarkable service!!! besides he makes a delightful drinks🥂you can tell the effort and the dedication in every sip!👏🏻 Thank you Par Ici Café, you stole our hearts ❤️

Not even experience the food. The host is very busy talking to a person who is not even a customer. Keep us waiting for long time. Disappointed.

Fantastic spot for lunch if you are looking for casual elegance, excellent service, delicious food, well crafted latte’s and enough separation to discretely enjoy your conversation. Wait staff is excellent. Yesterday it was Mae, today Sabri helped us and was happy to grab some tasty feta for my fattoush salad. The trip to the restroom is like entering an art gallery, as beautiful colors abound. Highly recommend.

Excellent cafe. Inventive menu and not what I expected! Fattoush, hummus, flatbreads plus the classics like tomato soup + grilled cheese, yogurt + granola. The beet tartare is excellent - the presentation of a mango purée as the yolk is so clever, the flavors and texture is👌🏻. High top tables have generous proportions - you won’t feel crowded. Lots of low seating options under the glass ceiling. Service is attentive, polite, warm. Beautiful cutlery and glassware. I went for lunch on a Sunday - the pace was comfortable. I suppose the reason there are no hooks for bags or coats is because the room is intended for hotel guests who presumably don’t bring those items into the cafe(?). A very pretty setting nonetheless and a nice place to treat yourself for a light meal or proper cocktail.

Reservation cancelled by the hotel with no call or outreach to explain the situation and offer alternative time.

Absolutely love to grab lunch here when in New York City. Delicious food, excellent service and love the Cafe feeling.
