- Nikki VargasAugust 17, 2011Has the vibe of a busy Parisian bistro; the escargot are my favorite appetizer; for main course I always go for the steak frites with that decadent bernaise sauce. Great restaurant!
- Sirrý SvöludóttirMarch 10, 2015The warm goat cheese (pictured) and the onion soup the best I have tasted 🇫🇷👍 Will be back!
- Meredith BlechmanMay 9, 2015Best brunch for people watching and delicious food. I love the poached eggs and soldiers, and their baked goods are heavenly.
- Mike O'SullivanMarch 23, 2015Try to come during the week. Weekends are packed, and for walkins, you'll have people hovering over your table the entire time.
- Kathleen CorlessJuly 30, 2018One of my favorite places to eat at the bar in NYC. Great fish, burgers, wine list, dessert and people watching.
- Ryan WilliamsNovember 14, 2012"At the Soho brasserie, "Le Grand "($95) is a platter of solely oysters while "Le Balthazar "($145) is loaded with three tiers: a bottom layer of oysters and clams, a middle tier containing a..." Read more
- CompassJuly 22, 2013Keith McNally’s Parisian brasserie outshines any imitation within a baguette’s reach. The long lines for table service are a perfect excuse to sip martinis at the intimate bar.
- Steve WattsMarch 1, 2015Absolutely buzzing....be sure to make a reservation...great steak au poivre and lamb t-bone
- Damon SununtnasukApril 21, 2017Atmosphere and Service was excellent. However, for the pice, I expected more from the food. The escargot was amazing, but the wild boar pappardelle was flavorless and the duck confit vegetables meh
- BarChickAugust 14, 2013An absolute must-visit! With a French menu, bustling bar and an in-house bakery, it will please even the fussiest of eaters http://barchick.com/find-a-bar/new-york/balthazar-new-york
- Avi YashchinFebruary 24, 2015A little touristy as to be expected in the busy area of Soho. Food is still good and the atmosphere is fun. Good for brunch and dinner.
- Angela DumadagJanuary 25, 2015Seafood tower. Steak frites. Steak tartar. French onion soup. Pommes frites. All amazing. Stumptown coffee. Great wine list too.
- RamSeptember 18, 2015Classic brasserie, can't go wrong with anything. The oysters and shellfish are the best and service... Perfection!
- From The World BlogOctober 23, 2012Amazing breakfast options, like scrambled eggs in puffy pastry, eggs en cocotte or red fruit waffles. At lunch and dinner, everything is also perfect.
- Amanda HoJanuary 7, 2016Goat cheese and French onion tart was amazing. Great ambience. Friendly service, albeit very crowded. Must try the dessert!
- Renee MaslikhovAugust 16, 2011Best apple martini in the city. Mixologists use a proprietary mixture that includes fresh apple pulp! Not sweet and liquor tasting! Tart, fresh and delicious as it should be!
- Bar and bar side seats are the most fun. Classic solid consistent menu. Banana tart is the only was to go for dessert.
- YazJanuary 21, 2020Wonderful experience and often very busy, so book in advance. The steak here is great and also the mussels
- MissConnorFebruary 11, 2018Delicious breakfast! It’ll be better if you make a reservation ahead, cause it tends to get crowdy between 9-11am
- Halstead PropertyDecember 14, 2011The almond croissant is a great treat for breakfast or afternoon w/ the right amount of almond paste and flaky, buttery but dense dough w/ almond slivers covering the pastry
- Ms HeleneJune 10, 2012Nice old worldly French atmosphere. The tuna nicoise salad was awesome with perfectly rare seared tuna served in a generous bowl. Service can be snobby though
- Saarim ZamanMay 14, 2016great place for a solo dining experience, reservations for a party of 1 are easy to get. Also, the steak frites with bernaise.
- Kiwi WangOctober 4, 2016An institution and for good reason. The bakery is incredible, and best chicken liver mousse in the city.
- Ilker AkarMay 27, 2014NY a ne zaman gitsem muhakkak ya sabah kahvaltısını ya da akşam üstü birşeyler içmek uğradığım mekan. The place I visit whenever travel to NY for a breakfast or afternoon drink....
- Janice McmanusMarch 21, 2015Everything is great here. Artichoke tomato soup, Balthasar salad, salmon and chicken. Great ambiance, wine and food.
- Sam McCrimsonFebruary 28, 2013The profiteroles were pretty amazing. Adding new take on this French classic, they replace the creme centre with ice cream. Very delicious.
- Kmart FashionDecember 2, 2011We love their pastries & breads, but best part about this place is the benches outside. Our tip: If you hang out on the benches long enough, you’ll be sure to spot a celebrity.
- Barry FlemingMarch 17, 2017Classic fare at a venerable institution in SoHo - but with prices that will make you think twice about returning when compared to other NYC options

- citichik chickpeaJuly 21, 2012Excellent, friendly service, delicious quality food. Not a romantic spot, but good place to hit when family is visiting or with a few friends for a nice meal.
- Jenny CrowleyApril 14, 2016Order the butternut squash agnolotti (starter) and the profiteroles (dessert). Both are tasty and fun to say!
- SuperbJune 19, 2012Love their weekend brunch items! If you don't have a reservation for the main dining room, opt to wait for a table in the cafe area - the turnover rate is much higher!
- Fatma GencApril 30, 2015Bit toontouristic but still great atmosphere. The waiters could've learn a bit more about French cuisine culture, but oh well.. This is NY!
- Maribel LaraAugust 16, 2014The duck shepherds pie was divinely rich. Plenty of meat, wonderful wine sauce and a properly crisp potato topping.
- Jessica WickhamJanuary 6, 2017Had a lovely fancy brunch, recommend the avocado and poached eggs on toast - eggs were cooked perfectly!
- Honghui YuApril 8, 2018Classic brunch spot. Can get very busy on weekends so try to get there early to avoid a wait.
- Toni HaberApril 14, 2014Everyone knows Balthazar for its baked goods and high profile clientele. Sit down at the Soho restaurant for a meal and iced coffee drink.
- Vincent ZhangAugust 31, 2013The goat cheese tart is unforgettable. Make sure to come on Saturday for the short ribs. Excellent duck confit.
- fatih narJuly 7, 20131st thing; this is a french fast food restaurant, don't wait a "restaurant" with proper table/service! 2nd thing; DONOT get steak frites! I saw many comments here on SteakFrites butnot sure why?
- Rita BaltazarAugust 15, 2015Onion soup, oisters, Baltazar steak, fries, the mussels, everything is good! Must try the bruch :)
- JM ParveauxNovember 26, 2015Typical French bistro - it's like being in Paris but with a nicer staff! A bit more pricey than the standard French restaurants in the city
- CacharrónDecember 14, 2014The Brunch, capital letters. Benedict eggs and onion soup made my winter. Book in advance or be prepared to wait 1h30.
- The Corcoran GroupSeptember 4, 2010A NYC Institution, which has one of the best brunches around. Try the Sour Cream and Hazelnut Waffles with Warm Berries!
- great for a morning meeting obvs. bring something to read, get there earlier than your party and snag one of the half-circle booths against the back wall (my spot!). ginger citrus tea. decompress.
- AlAnoud A AlGhunaimFebruary 21, 2022I dunno but breakfast was a bit overrated, might come for dinner to give a full review. Anyways it was your basic dishes, nothing special but croissants were really good.
- Larissa VazOctober 21, 2012One of my favorites! To start ask for the Chicken liver w foie grass mousse, a nice wine and then the classic bar steak. Nham!
