We had the best time here! Everything was so tasty and well-prepared. We started with peach bourbon and raspberry ginger cocktails—both super fresh, flavorful, and a great size. For food, we had the French onion soup, butternut squash soup, Hachis Parmentier Au Four (a French take on shepherd’s pie), and a croque madame. Every dish was perfectly seasoned—not too salty or sweet, just really good, comforting food. For dessert, we split an apple tart, and it was the perfect way to end the meal—flaky, warm, and so delicious. The staff was really friendly, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. We’ll definitely be back!

Had a fabulous brunch here last weekend with a friend, love this place, the decor, the food, the light it’s just a solid spot! Staff is super helpful and sweet. Food is top, I had the French burger and it was spectacular, I plan on becoming a regular here! Bravo!

I am a longstanding fan of Cafe du Soleil. They have an extensive menu, and the food is good and well priced for the quality. No one should expect Michelin-star gastronomy, this is solid bistro cuisine, and they do that well. The happy hour is an exceptional value, and I don't know how they make money, but having to be at the (tight) bar does a pretty good job of rationing service, so either come early or be willing to stand. I particularly relish the fact that the staff here are willing to tolerate my terrible French. This is a place I bring my friends and family, and look forward to doing so for a long time to come!

I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant. The staff was also very attentive, with reasonable prices. However, we had 4 different steaks and unfortunately while they were all cooked perfectly the actual quality of the meat was quite low and none of us enjoyed it. This could have been a one time thing however I have to mention it. That being said our appetizers were delicious.

Very pleasant experience at Cafe du Soleil. We were there for mussels night and it was great. First, the host: our reservation was for 7:30 but by mistake we got there at 7:00 and he did not flinch. The place was almost full but he seated us right away. Next was the waiter: charming man from Spain who was extremely accommodating when we told him we were going to have just drinks while waiting for our friend at 7:30. In other restaurants they would have given you attitude for holding the table. Mussels we great (several choices, I chose saffron, a friend chose lemon). The way by the glass (included I the prix fixe) was fair, not great. But we also ordered a bottle and it was fine. Desserts were delicious and abundant portions. All in all, a very good experience

Saturday brunch walk-in with the place filled to 40% capacity. Very chill vibes and French/Paris eatery setup with nice bright interiors. I wish their draught selection was wider, but the Kronenbourg pint they had on tap was chilled and went down pretty easy! For food, we got linguine with butter for out little butter cakes, Moroccan Sandwich ($19) with Spicy Lamb Sausage. The French Baguette was pretty hard to eat but the sausage was good. The winner of the table though was an excellent Vegetarian Avocado Toast ($19). The Yellow and Red Cherry tomatoes and onions just elevated the taste to the next level for me! Service was slightly slow in terms of our drinks. Food however arrived within 20 mins of ordering. I can see Cafe Du Soleil become our regular brunch spot, especially whenever I am craving their amazing Avocado Toast!

I like the atmosphere at this French bistro and the food is surprisingly good. Note there is a French attitude towards service here even though we're on the UWS. They don't respond well to any modifications or special requests - forget about any issues you have with your order. If you stick to French classics and don't ask for anything special you should be good 👌 and it's an enjoyable meal.

We enjoyed sitting here for brunch, the atmosphere and the service were great although the food was just OK.

Awful cocktails - how is it possible to mess up a martini so badly that it gets sent back, and is replaced by one just as bad, that tasted like the gin was diluted? The restaurant is extremely noisy and while the endive salad was good, both entrees (lamb shank and boeuf bourguignon) were mediocre and definitely not worth the effort it took to get to the UWS. The service, however, was excellent and our very hardworking waiter remained cheerful and helpful throughout our complaints. No return visit, I am afraid.

Ordered on uber eats October 4 around 4 in the afternoon. Missing a drink, fries were old and cold, bottom of bag fell out as soon as l lifted it from the counter. Burger bacon was raw. No toppings as described (Lettuce tomato pickles etc). Mousse was warm. Onion Soup was tasteless.
