"Frenchette seems to have one goal, and it's to make your eyes roll back into your head because you haven’t had anything so rich and decadent in a very long time. The menu here changes often, but if the brouillade with escargots, cod cheeks à la diable, and duck frites are available, order all three, along with a bottle from their list of natural wines. This brasserie is at its best during peak dining hours when the room is frenetic and loud, and it's a great place to pop in for some fries and a martini at the bar." - molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, willa moore, kenny yang

"When Frenchette opened in 2018 by alums of Balthazar on the nicest square in Tribeca, the restaurant caused a sensation. It was a French bistro that concentrated on natural wine along with dishes a shade richer and more luxuriant than its bistro and brasserie competitors. Blood sausage served on soft scrambled eggs was one example, and others included leg of lamb, cote de boeuf, and saffron-laced fish soup. The duo has also opened its bakery nearby." - Robert Sietsema
