"Tucked away in a 74th Street townhouse, Chez Fifi is an elegant French bistro that’s become one of the most sought-after reservations on the UES — ideal for special occasions when you want to dress up." - Hannah Towey
"I found Chez Fifi—a two‑story, dimly lit French bistro on the Upper East Side from the Foulquier brothers—to be pure class: fresh bread with radishes and salty French butter opens the meal, and starters range from buttery bluefin au citron with Ossetra caviar to an omelette à plat with Périgord truffles. Mains like a generous dover sole à la plancha and crispy frites maison with caviar‑topped aioli impressed, and for dessert the chocolate mousse was silky while the crème brûlée ranked as perhaps the best I’ve had in the city." - Charlie Hobbs
"Chez Fifi is a true neighborhood bistro, if that neighborhood is a region of the Upper East Side where townhouses start in the tens of millions. From the owners of Sushi Noz, Chez Fifi serves steak frites, frog legs, and roast chicken in a stunning little wood-paneled box of a space. It's a perfectly nice and elegant experience, with high costs to match: $148 for a dover sole, for example. Chez Fifi releases reservations at midnight, three weeks in advance. Later reservations are occasionally available at shorter notice. Alternatively you can walk in to the bar upstairs for snacks and dessert, or email reservations@chezfifinyc.com to reserve a group dinner for around six people in a cozy, curtained-off private room." - team infatuation
"Verdict: A true neighborhood bistro. Unfortunately, the neighborhood in question is a region of the Upper East Side where townhouses start in the tens of millions. Chez Fifi, from the owners of Sushi Noz, serves steak frites, frog legs, and roast chicken in a stunning little wood-paneled box of a space. It's a perfectly nice and elegant experience, and it costs a wild amount of money: $160 for a chicken, for example. Chez Fifi releases reservations at midnight, three weeks in advance. Later reservations are occasionally available at shorter notice. Alternatively you can walk in to the bar upstairs for snacks and dessert, or email reservations@chezfifinyc.com to reserve a group dinner for around six people in a cozy, curtained-off private room.

"A buzzy Upper East Side spot that inspectors call “Upper East Side’s hottest reservation.”" - Melissa McCart
