Great atmosphere, great friends, authentic cuisine Française, what a perfect dinner celebration!
This definitely is my new favorite French bistro! Located right in the heart of Williamsburg. To describe this space in three words- cute, warm, and lovely. A great date spot or for a friends gathering. They have a long bar where you can wait till your party arrives or have a meal there as the bartender seemed pretty friendly.
Great wine choices and cocktails are spot on!
We had a French onion soup, mussels, Ribeye cooked to perfection and Gnocchi with mushrooms. Finished with Lava cake and dessert wine. Absolutely delicious.
Will be back soon!

I love Recette — it’s a classic Paris neighborhood bistro/bar airlifted to Williamsburg. The food is very good, and the light-filled room is warm and cozy. Wonderful frites, Croque Monsieur and more — the vanilla mousse dessert is truly special. Also, the waitstaff I’ve encountered on my three visits have been both warm and accommodating.
And here’s a special shout-out for our waiter yesterday, the friendly Osman, who provided personalized service beyond the call of duty.

First and foremost it’s a beautiful place in Williamsburg . Decor is romantic and makes you feel at home.Soon as we came in gentleman met us at the door, greeted us, welcomed us, and took us to the table.
We had French onion soup which was delicious served with traditional Gruyère cheese, truffle mushroom flatbread was perfect shared appetizer, and steak frites which was out of this world.Love their fries
Touch of Ginger and Oui Mademoiselle were top notch cocktails.
Recette gives that Parisian flair to the neighborhood, we definitely going to come back.

The food was good and quality, but the prices are excessive compared to the overall experience. In particular, I find the system of pricing wine opaque: it would be better to clearly indicate the cost of the bottles rather than that of the glasses. In addition, the service had some shadows: the waiters took a tip far beyond what would have been correct. An experience that leaves a little bitter taste in the mouth, despite the quality of the cuisine.

My husband and I decided to get dinner . We choose this place and for sure it’s succeeded all our expectations. Lactation is great, atmosphere amazing. Nice decoration and music. Food is excellent and wait stuff great know their job and have a great knowledge about food and drink so if you not sure about your choice they gonna give you a piece of advice and you not gonna regret about your choice. We had octopus, crab cake and steak, desert in the end was a great cherry on top of our dinner .

This is my new favorite restaurant. The french onion soup and the duck legs are some of the best dishes I tried while in New York. Definitely try cardamon panacotta for the dessert. The atmosphere is amazing other than the music being a little loud. Everything is made and cures in house. Service is very friendly and professional.. Can't wait to come back!

Worth it.
very nice lampchops.
friendly serving
nice desert especially the poched pear.
if you are looking for something French dish but with decent price, its the place where you want to take your family and friends out.
The lava cake is a bit two sweet but I am from Asia so other people probably like it.
非常不错,令满意的一顿。
如果你想和朋友以及家人找个地方用餐这是个很好的地方。环境优美,服务热情。特别推荐羊排和煮梨。

Amazing service but food was a disappointment. Ate here last night, the service could not have been better, - friendly, helpful, welcoming. The food on the other hand was quite average, the Caesar salad had way too much dressing and not enough anchovies. The duck liver pate looked very processed and definitely not home made. The main courses were average and way too much.

This place is fantastic! The staff is incredibly attentive and helpful. Unique cocktails and the menu is packed with so many delicious options that we simply cannot resist the temptation to go back and explore the rest! The bartender, Osman, effortlessly tuned in to our conversation about espresso martinis and our struggle to find a perfectly made one. He then stepped forward and offered to craft one for us. And with his skill and expertise, he delivered an impeccable drink that left us thoroughly impressed. You all are absolutely awesome!

What a cute little spot! Outside and inside seating. Charming "French" restaurant with wonderful Serbian staff. Everything was delicious and the cocktails were perfect! Perfect grilled octopus. Sweet atmosphere, great end to the week. Espresso Martini shots on the house. Oh! The French onion soup, wow! We had cavatelli with short rib and gnocchi with truffles and mushrooms. Bread pudding and apple pie for dessert.

Delicious high quality plates, selection of wines, cocktails and great service.
We tried all their entrees, one of their desserts, and everything was de-li-cious. Honestly, I think food is the best in the area.
Highly recommended. ♥️
