I have been going to the Loup for years, maybe a decade or more, and it only gets better. What I particularly enjoy, aside from the betterave salad, is the architectural detail, which obviously shows a lot of skill and thought. I took a few pictures, attached here. The food is always excellent, and they warn you that the hand-made... More

On a visit to NYC we were invited to join some friends for dinner at this lovely restaurant. We arrived early, and were seated at our table. Without missing a beat, soon arrived a very attentive waitress who got us started on a wonderful bottle of french wine that we love, and rarely ever find in restaurants we frequent. As... More

As this restaurant is in a residential area, weekday lunches tend to be quite quiet. That is probably the main reason to eat here. The standard French food is not bad, but nothing special either. The omelette at lunch is dependable. Prices are fair. More

I last saw Junior Manz when he somehow got caught up in playing at my Uncle's wedding some 14 years ago. To then come across him again and over some final French food and wine was a delight, even though I was still on a UK timezone. I will be coming back for the Sunday brunch or an early evening...

Very homey, pleasant restaurant, with first rate jazz and food. Call them to confirm when they have live jazz. We went for Sunday brunch, but they also have live jazz at other times. More

A jazz trio kept the atmosphere pleasant although noisy in this secluded French restaurant for a Sunday brunch. Unfortunately the food was ordinary and service sparse and cold. Visiting NYC for a month and there are much better places to eat. Not too pricey for brunch although the wine list was steep and short. More

We were in New York for a few shows and wanted to take our daughter to dinner. She selected Cafe Loup. It is a place she visits occasionally and we had last visited in 2008. In 2008 we enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. We did again. It was Sunday evening early, about 7:00 PM and they were busy but... More

Have been going to Cafe Loup for a year now, incredible French restaurant, with a cozy, romantic and welcoming atmosphere. Food is delicious, prices are average for Manhattan but their portions are generous -- you won't go hungry here. Desserts are fabulous too. More
