I moved to the Upper East Side a few months ago and quickly discovered B Cafe since it's right below my building. The ambiance immediately caught my attention, and after five months of dining there, I can confidently say it’s one of my favorite restaurants in the city—if not *the* favorite. The staff is incredibly welcoming, making every visit feel like catching up with friends. And the food? Absolutely exceptional. You can tell they put real care into every dish, whether for dine-in or takeout. I’ve recommended B Cafe to my friends, many of whom are now loyal customers. In fact, I’m planning to eat there tonight!
B. Cafe impressed me in ways I didn't think possible. They serve substantial portions with skilled preparation and good flavor. Their workers showed remarkable proficiency. The taste experience is superior!!!! This spot provides undeniable excellence.
In the past I’ve mainly come here for their happy hour deals but this was my first time coming in for brunch. The eggs Benedict was good but honestly the frites and waffle really are what should make this place your next stop.
I love this place - it has all the qualities of a perfect restaurant without all of the crowds, over-priced food and over-hype. The food is DELICIOUS and well priced. The space is beautiful, especially the backyard, and they have a nice outdoor seating area out front. Beautiful bar area. And we’re always able to get a reservation, even for Mother’s Day, on which I was nervous about finding a table since so many places book out. The staff here is also always friendly and accommodating. This has to be one of the most underrated restaurants on the UES.

A small intimate reztauramt in the winter, it boasts a nice outdoor eatery when weather permits, its food is out of this world! Totally European and truly Belgian: both sophisticated and satsfying to the taste and to the aesthetics of a gourmet cuisine. Its dishes from its signature Carbonnade flamamde to the mussels, its coquis saint jacques to refreshing salads they all excel. I love Belgian food and they know how to cook it. I had wine and had beer another time I had gone there (both excellent). I finished with a creme brulee that had an orange aroma that accompanied my coffee very well. I fully recommend it.
Loved our dining experience here! Everyone was so friendly. The covered back patio seating was heated and had a romantic, European feel. Their warm pretzel is my favorite in the city! It’s soft and salted to perfection, and the cheese sauce is bomb. Not sure whether to dunk my pretzel in it or bathe in it The brussel sprouts were a hit — the right amount of crispiness and a good hint of maple. The mocktails were a really nice compliment to the meal. Try the caper mayo with your fries (fries come with most entrees). It’s the closest thing I’ve had to fry sauce on the east coast and it’s amazing. The fries here are really stellar! The Chicken Vol Au Vent is like a chicken pot pie but disassembled — warm & creamy with tender chicken. We loved it! The B. Cafe Waffle was light, crunchy, and the perfect sweet ending to an incredible meal.
This place blew me away with every bite I took. Workers handled service well. The menu balances fresh options with excellent taste. This spot has good bones, but better people working there. An impressively good visit.
