Le Gamin is serving a second generation of New Yorkers after 2 decades in NYC, and moving our locations to Brooklyn since 2004 along with many of our clients that have also crossed the East River. We continue to serve fine basic French comfort food made from seasonal and locally sourced ingredients before comfort food and "farm to table" became a trend.
“This was my fourth visit, and easily one of the best. Even with every table full inside and out, service was fast and the staff was kind, calm and composed. I love Le Gamin for a solo date or a big brunch with friends. The escargot never disappoints, and the bottomless baguettes are a generous bonus. If you can get seated in the garden, go for it, but people watching on the sidewalk is a close second.”
“Adorable little French spot. Killer steak frites, cozy atmosphere. Tres bien!”
“Staff was great and their recommendations were perfect for what we wanted, the french onion soup was spectacular and the atmosphere really felt like you were in a French café - my new neighborhood favorite.”
“Such a lovely French spot with a bright and welcoming atmosphere. The croque-madame was delicious, though the sauce was just a little on the sweet side for my taste. The ratatouille was flavorful, with a nice spicy kick, and the Québécoise was really good and very filling. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but the quality of food and service makes it worthwhile. The interior is quite unique, with lots of interesting details that make the place stand out. It’s also really cool that they have daily specials and a Happy Hour. The last time we were there, we had the profiterole for dessert, and despite its high price, it was absolutely worth it. The portion was large, and the dessert was delicious, with a wonderfully creamy filling inside. What’s also really great is that they recommend dishes that are genuinely fantastic, and you can tell they truly care about your experience. What really impressed us was the service — the waitress was incredibly friendly and made us feel very welcome. Every time we visit, the staff are always kind and cheerful. However, it was a bit unpleasant that they charged us for the bread. It didn’t seem completely fresh, and $5 for a couple of slices of bread feels a bit much. It would be better for the managment to reconsider that pricing. Great place in general! Definitely coming back 🥰”
“Super cute and very busy French little restaurant. It's the perfect brunch spot on a cold day. We both had omelettes where you choose the ingredients, they come with fries and salad. The only down fall is there is not a waiting area. If you are seated by the door as we were you constantly have people on top of waiting.”
