La Bergamote, New York, New York, French Restaurant Details

Food:

Find the "true French cafe experience" at this Chelsea patisserie whose "gorgeous and delicious pastries" are showcased in "pretty" quarters in Chelsea and at a "lovely" West Hell's Kitchen offshoot; regulars praise the likes of "jewellike tarts" and "irresistible" souris au chocolat (chocolate mice) as well as some of the "best croissants in NYC", even if it's all offered up with a bit of "attitude."

Food:

The closest thing to being in a Paris cafe. The quiches were WONDERFUL. And highly recommended. The atmosphere is cozy and is a great place for a first date or a quiet chat. This is my new favorite place.

Food:

Great pastries. Small but well prepared French menu. Great for a quick bite. Setting dark and a little dingy / lacking in character.

Food:

We got very sick after eating lunch here!
Food tasted very bad, undercooked/inedible. Wait staff careless! Mgmt indifferent to dining problems;
detached, unapologetic, as if diner's fault food spoiled or improperly cooked! Staff only shows pulse
when you expect offending item taken off bill. Yucky gum left by piggish patron stuck onto my purse,
and I spent most of last meal trying to remove it!

Food:

Went for brunch. Nice space/atmosphere. Eggs and quiche were nice. Espresso was weak and bitter (over extracted?). We drank no more than a quarter of both cups but no question about a problem. Pastries were pretty but disappointing. Most fruit pastries are covered in slimy goop.

Food:

Beautiful display of French pastries. Cozy two seaters throughout the tiny pastry shop. Delicious chocolate croissant. The service was quick and efficient. When the waitress made a mistake, she quickly corrected and apologized. Thanks! I will be back.
