Le Bilboquet

"It's a little fancier then some of the other places on our list, but their food and beverage is so good. My advice is to start with a martini and go from there. It's just so cozy and beautiful. The food and drinks are always very consistent. It's also right on the water, which is super valuable. Since we're usually out there in the summer, I typically eat a lot of fish, just because that's the best time it's offered, especially in the Hamptons. So I'll probably usually get a fish dish of some sort. But their steak is also amazing. Maybe go for a little surf and turf action if you're torn like me."—LH" - brennan carley

"If you’re looking for an over-the-top lunch scene, Vazquez recommends heading straight to Le Bilbouquet. The French eatery, best known for its iconic Upper East Side flagship location, attracts well-heeled locals and travelers alike. Come for the signature Cajun chicken or tuna tartare – best enjoyed with a glass of rosé, of course — and stay for the harbor views and people-watching opportunities. If you’re lucky, you may be able to spot a celeb or two." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"Le Bilboquet has become such a popular Hamptons institution that it's now open year-round. The chic bistro is tucked away by the marina off Sag Harbor's main stretch. The vibe here is very Saint-Tropez, with slick maître d's, glistening yachts lined up along the water, and a weekend DJ. It's known for its cajun chicken, but has all the classics (think: bouillabaisse, steak frites, and Caesar salad) and a fantastic raw bar." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"The South of France vibe is just returning at this waterfront French restaurant, but for those not ready to venture out yet, dishes like homemade foie gras; burrata with cherry tomatoes, basil, berries, and balsamic; the cajun chicken; and the lamb burger can conjure some of that feeling at home. Round out the meal with desserts like tarte tatin and chocolate mousse, along with a selection of rose wines." - Beth Landman
