Best French Restaurants in Merrick

First visit to Brasserie, and will be first of many. Hands down best French on LI. Went as a party of 5, and all meals were exceptional! Appetizers: Seared foie gras is the real deal and generously portioned. Baked camembert generated oohs and aahs. Mains: Filet mignon--fine cut and perfectly grilled. Cassoulet--excellent confit and perfect ratio of beans/meat. Duck Magret: tender and delicious--what you hope for in a LI duck. Bass Filet--melts in your mouth. Chicken cordon bleu: lightly breaded and fried and perfectly executed. All dishes well-presented. Table visit from chef-owner Aless is a special touch that shows class and caring! Our server Michael was a real pro! All in all an excellent experience and can't stop raving about it. Opened last year, Aless and Justin are for real! Can't wait to go back!

We had a 6:30 reservation and from the time we sat down to the time we left it was a great experience! We started with the calamari appetizer which was fried perfectly and the addition of cherry pepper “chips” (sliced cherry peppers lightly dredged in the calamari coating, and then fried) was a nice pop of heat. It added another layer of flavor that was unexpected, but very welcome. My wife got the Steak Frittes. The steak was cooked perfectly and fries had great flavor. I got the whole branzino and was not disappointed! The fish was cooked perfectly and the taste was phenomenal! We will definitely be returning!

This was our first time at this restaurant and it was perfect. We arrived at 6PM and the service was amazing Jackie was great! The ambiance was spectacular. The food was excellent and the music was spot on too! We are going to make this our go to French spot I suggest you do the same..

Love Bar Frites. Food is always really good. Service is top notch. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

My friends took me to Chat Noir for my birthday because it is one of my favorite restaurants and as always the food, the ambiance and the service was excellent! We ordered the beef bourbuignon, the chicken pot pie and the goat cheese tart all of which were incredibly delicious finished off with the chocolate chip bread pudding complete with a candle and singing by the thoughtful staff. If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience then book a table at Chat Noir and let the feast begin.
