" The food was surprisingly good for a restaurant that calls itself a French bistro! The French onion soup was superb, probably the best I've ever had outside of Paris. I also tried their crepes, but they were just okay. The atmosphere is charming, but it can get a bit loud and crowded during peak times. I recommend making reservations. Overall, it's a cute spot for a casual evening out. I'd come back for the soup alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Superb meal at La Bonne Soupe! The dining experience was outstanding from start to finish. Our server, who was incredibly knowledgeable, guided us to opt for the duck confit, and wow, it did not disappoint! The meat was tender, and the flavors were divine. The ambiance offers a nice mix of casual and romantic vibes, perfect for any occasion. The desserts are worth trying—don’t skip the chocolate mousse! A great place that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to friends and family. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic food and atmosphere! The service was just okay, but the food more than made up for it. I gobbled up the escargot like they were the first time I tasted it. I also had a salmon dish that was exquisite. The ambiance is very intimate and cozy. I’d highly recommend giving it a try. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place was genuinely wonderful! The atmosphere is delightful, reminding me of my travels to France. The French onion soup is a standout—it’s rich and satisfying. I appreciated the staff's attentiveness, making our dining experience enjoyable. The only downside was that the dessert selection was limited, but the quality of what they offered was excellent. " (*Curated Review*)

" The meal we had at La Bonne Soupe was simply wonderful. The French onion soup definitely lived up to its reputation as one of the best in New York City. The warm, inviting atmosphere made the experience even better. I also enjoyed the steak frites immensely. It was perfectly cooked, and the fries were crispy and golden. Our server was friendly and prompt, which added to the overall experience. I highly recommend this place for anyone seeking authentic French cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love La Bonne Soupe! It's always been my go-to for a comforting meal after shopping. The service is consistent and friendly. Last week, I had the croque madame and it was delightful—warm gooey cheese, crispy bread, the works. I wish the dessert menu was a bit more extensive, but what they have is still tasty. If you're in the area and need a quick bite, this place is a gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful little bistro! My partner and I dined here last weekend based on recommendations, and we were not disappointed. The atmosphere was cozy and reminded me of the charming streets of Paris. We started with the escargot, which was garlicky and rich, paired wonderfully with the freshly baked baguette. For the main course, I had the duck confit, which was tender and full of flavor. Our server was attentive but not intrusive, which I appreciated. The crème brûlée for dessert was the perfect end to our meal. We will definitely be returning! " (*Curated Review*)
