Owners Samie Didda & Germain Michel concept of affordable wines and equally wallet-friendly French snacks has kept them popular on Polk Street since it opens his door in 2006 Amelie has now three locations in the united states: Polk street san Francisco, west village New York new York , upper west side new York new York Since 2006 Amelie has been acclaimed by press and patrons with press like best wine bar in America ‘(OpenTable) , best bar soundtrack by 7by7 , best wine bar (sf examiner) bib gourmand (guide Michelin) , New York times , San Francisco chronicle , la. Revue du vin de France …. . And no wonder --- the wine list is generous, offering 40 reds and whites by the glass, and roughly 100 by the bottle. Not surprisingly, cheese and charcuterie plates are the strongest contenders to pair with the wines. Cheese plates come alongside French baguette breads, house-made apricot and pear ginger spreads, honey and fresh fruit. Charcuterie is a savory assortment of hot coppa, salami, duck prosciutto, onions stewed in grenadine, and mustard with a spiciness that rivals wasabi. Cracker-thin pizzas are layered with kale, sweet-tart grenadine syrup, and portobellos. Raviole du Dauphine are stuffed with Comté and cottage cheeses and dominated by a rich béchamel. Amelie’s cool, lounge vibe is punched up with eclectic elements such as a chandelier constructed of letters penned by customers and wall-mounted illuminated wine bottle art.

“The environment is so fun and energetic. Came here with my friend here for her birthday because she said their steak frites are amazing and she was SO right. I always order mine black and blue, which is hard to have done properly I’ve found. They nailed it and I’m in heaven!! Will definitely be back. Service was great, too!”
“This is honestly one of my favorite spots in the city. Like my actual go-to. If I don’t know where to go, I go here. It never disappoints. The wine selection is so good not just basic options, but actually interesting bottles. I’ve tried different ones almost every time and somehow they always hit. If you love wine, you’ll be happy here. Food-wise… steak frites and liver mousse are my forever orders. I don’t even try to switch it up anymore because why mess with perfection? It’s always consistent, always flavorful, always exactly what I’m craving. And the music?? I love it. The vibe is that perfect balance cozy but still social and a little buzzy. It feels effortless. Not try-hard, not pretentious, just cool in a natural way. The staff is also great. Friendly, attentive, but chill. You feel welcomed, not rushed. Overall, it’s one of those places that just feels right every time. Wine, food, music, energy - everything works. I’ll keep coming back.”
“One of my favorite restaurants in the west village. The vibe, ambiance, music, the entire staff so phenomenal. The drinks are fantastic and the food is absolutely delicious !!!”
