"The offshoot of a fancier restaurant just off Madison Avenue is a pleasant and very French place to sit and drink coffee. Cafe Bilboquet’s is perfectly fine if unexciting, and one is more likely to turn one’s attention to the crusty almond croissant or the wild blueberry scone." - Robert Sietsema, Eater Staff
"Le Bilboquet, another popular restaurant on the Upper East Side, was visited by Michael Cohen, who is still under house arrest." - Luke Fortney
"La Biblioteca is a special kind of library that stocks about 400 different agave spirits and has a tequila sommelier to help customers choose the right option for that night. While the atmosphere is clubby, those bottles are beautifully showcased along the walls. Anyone who buys a bottle can keep it stored in one of the bar’s lockers for free and retrieve it later with a library card." - Paul Schrodt
"If you’ve ever walked down the western end of the Bernard strip in the sizzling heat, there’s likely a crowd here. With creative ice cream flavours like King Kong (banana ice cream with chocolate chunks), Cacaphonie (dark chocolate ice cream with chunks of white chocolate and whole cashew nuts) and the ever-popular Brou Ha! Ha! (vanilla ice cream with brownies, caramel swirl, pieces of chocolate covered toffee and praline bits), and sorbets too, Bilboquet is one of those crèmeries that’s become synonymous with summer in Montreal. Its products are also available in some grocery stores and markets." - Daniel Bromberg
"Michael Cohen was spotted eating dinner at Le Bilboquet, a well-known scene spot on the Upper East Side, the day he pleaded guilty to campaign finance fraud and tax evasion. He reportedly sat at a prime table up front and spent much of the evening on his phone." - Stefanie Tuder
