Reviews
The press has nice things to say about Bistro Chat Noir:
- “The menu pushes familiar Francophile fare: Tuna tartare is given a creamy kick via a dose of crème fraîche, and the steak frites comes with a béarnaise sauce so delicious, you might want to eat it with a spoon.” – Time Out New York
- “The bistro, named for and inspired by a 1880s Parisian cabaret of the same name, is exactly what you’d want from your local dining-room-away-from-home. It’s lovely and easy, with vanilla walls, red banquettes, gold-framed mirrors, and bronze sconces.” – Daily Candy
- “Set in a landmark townhouse, Chat Noir strikes a balance between elegant neighborhood bistro and tourist-friendly dining hub.” – Citysearch
Zach Braff, Natalie Portman, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Chris Martin, Steven Spielberg, Kate Capshaw, Michelle Pfeiffer, Michael Stipe, and loads of other famous people have all tasted the fantastic food at Chat Noir. But what about regular folk?
- “While I don't tend to frequent the UES often, each visit of mine to Bistro Chat Noir has been fantastic. Lots of wine and shared dishes seems [sic] to be my M.O. here, and I've enjoyed everything. Tartare, truffle fries, escargots, salads, steak, you name it. Top it off with a charming decor and friendly and devoted owner, and you've got a great spot.” – Michael H., Yelp
- “Could not ask for a better neighborhood restaurant. The owner and staff make you feel very at home.” – KarlM1649, Zagat
- “The food was on the very good to excellent end of my taste buds. They serve a short menu of common french fare, which is welcomed since many restaurants make you dizzy with too many so so options in their menu.” – Orlando E., Yelp

About Bistro Chat Noir
Locally sourced ingredients alchemize into upscale French cuisine at the celebrity-favored Bistro Chat Noir. Aside from strictly French eats, such as onion soup with gruyere, the bistro's signature Black Cat burger "delivers a textured, tantalizingly sweet payload," according to the New York Post, topping humanely raised beef with free-range, vegetarian-fed pickles. Founder, manager, and co-owner Suzanne Latapie bedecks the townhouse's cream walls with impressionist oil paintings daubed by her grandfather, Louis Latapie. Low lighting gently illuminates brunches, lunches, and dinners of truffle mac 'n' cheese, roasted-beet salad, steak tartar, and lobster. Guests can secure tables with the online reservation widget, or customize a prix fixe menu for private events by placing a call.
