We had a wonderful dinner at this restaurant. We are locals and were so happy to try out this place as we also ate at Pandering Pig when it was open. We had the escargot, the roasted cauliflower, and then the beef bourguignon and the duck. Everything was fabulous- those entrees specifically were SO tender and delicious. Service was excellent- such a kind waitress. Only a 4/5 for at atmosphere because of the climate control on a cold night- but we’re hopeful once they figure that out this place will be the spot!

A magical setting, in a historic building and in a beautiful park! Kudos to the chef/chefs as the food is amazing. I've been for brunch and dinner, but not lunch. My favorites are the soups and the beef bourguignon. The chocolate cake dessert is really good, too. The decor and lighting are very stylish and make me feel relaxed when there. I absolutely love the waiters and bartenders - energetic, fun to talk to, and professional, too. I look forward to returning!

We recently dined at The Bonnefont and are eager to return. The owner and chef, Nicole, graciously accommodated some unexpected changes to our reservation and was really kind over the phone. The restaurant is a true gem in the neighborhood, and we look forward to dining on the patio when the weather warms up! The house wine was nice, and our entrees were delicious—no surprise, as I had previously enjoyed the cuisine at Nicole's former restaurant, The Pandering Pig. Our server, Renee, was both friendly and attentive. I'm enthusiastic about the future of this place; it seems to be finding its rhythm, and I anticipate it will only improve with the use of the patio and the full potential of its location as the weather improves.

My friends and I were enjoying a walk through the park and saw the restaurant was open. Renee, our server, welcomed us in and even allowed us to sit in the back patio area with our dog. The service was amazing. She was super welcoming and made us feel VIP. I got the potato leek soup and eggs benedict. Both were delicious. Great service and great food in a magical setting.

Had Sunday lunch here recently, and I was blown away! The seared salmon was on point—super tasty and cooked just right. The staff were super friendly and made me feel right at home. Plus, the live music gave the whole vibe an extra touch. Definitely recommend this spot for a great meal! Everything looked great and tasted even better.

Came for dinner. The restaurant is in a landmark building in a landmark park. The ambience, both inside and outside, is incredible. Food, wine and dessert are excellent. Staff are very friendly and elegant. Highly recommend.

Quaint and charming little French cafe hidden away in the Fort Tryon park. If you are planning to visit the MET cloisters, would recommend getting breakfast or brunch here and start your day. Food is good and if you get a table by the window or lil door facing the garden, you’re guaranteed to have a great time.

Not being from New York, I was visiting the MET Cloisters and decided to walk the Fort Tyron trails around the MET and overlooking the Hudson when I discovered the Bonnefont. A quaint little French Cuisine Restaurant. I did not have a reservation, but as a party of one, I did get seated within a few minutes, and the waiter was very quick with a menu and water. My order of French toast and made fresh coffee was served within 10 minutes. The French toast was very good as well as the fresh coffee. I did get a coffee to go. I was in and out in 30 minutes. I'm certain a reservation would be required for a large party. Great staff and great atmosphere.
