Charming
Neighbourhood gem
Romantic

Le Parisien is the go-to neighborhood bistrot for Murray Hill, offering classic French food like steak frites, escargots and moules marinieres, paired with a well-edited list of french wines.
Chef Johnathan Masse brings his expert knowledge of comfort food, having most recently served as sous chef at the Waverly Inn, and also for Chef Jonathan Waxman of Barbuto. Along with owner Christian Merand, formerly of Jean-Claude in Soho, they have created a restaurant that focuses on serving consistently great traditional food with a lively and unmistakeably French atmosphere.

Also open daily for lunch and brunch on weekends.

If you want a French restaurant with good food, but an atmosphere that gives you anxiety, I invite you to dine here. We were served our appetizers before we even received our drinks from the bar and we felt extremely rushed during the entire dinner. The chairs couldn’t be more uncomfortable and you’re cramped in there worse than sitting in a middle seat in coach on a transatlantic flight. It was so loud you can’t hear the person you’re with speak and it was just an enjoyable evening. However, the food was good, but the atmosphere tainted the experience.
