    I am absolutely delighted with every aspect of this restaurant! The food was exquisite, and the staff were attentive, organized, and friendly. The restaurants aesthetic is beautiful.They truly went above and beyond to make our experience special. We had a reservation for outdoor seating, but it was too chilly, so they kindly offered us complimentary tea as a gesture of goodwill. Then, they managed to accommodate us with a table inside. To top it off, my husband received a complimentary dessert for his birthday it was delicious by the way.They went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable.

    Exceptional customer service and food. We arrived and were welcomed warmly by the hostess. Our waiter was lovely very attentive and friendly yet professional. They took care of checking allergies and accommodated for dairy intolerance with great care. It was our anniversary and we got lovely congratulations and glasses of champagne in the house. Really wonderful experience and the food is beautifully presented and delicious

    Had a lovely “Apéro” at La Mercerie during a quick stop in New York. The cocktail menu was tempting, but on a warm fall day, I opted for the Petit Paris—a refreshing mix of Aperol, grapefruit juice, and sparkling wine. Choosing a small plate was tough, but I went with the Betteraves Vinaigrées, a zesty beet salad with citrus pickled beets and trout roe, and the Avocat Crevettes, featuring Montauk shrimp in an orange blossom vinaigrette with grapefruit and avocado. Service was quick, friendly, and attentive—staff checked in regularly, refilling water and asking about our experience. The atmosphere was inviting, with seafoam tones, blue velvet accents, and a neutral palette. Even at 3 PM on a Thursday, the place was lively. Toward the back, there’s a charming shop filled with crystal glassware, earthenware, books, and home décor. A pleasant surprise was the collection of antique Georg Jensen silverware and other vintage pieces from Japan. I’d love to return with a bigger appetite to explore the lunch or dinner menu!

    UPD August 2024: Their mint tea is exceptional! Service is impeccable as always. A little bit sad they dont have some desserts I love available. Like pear tart or apple tart as I might remember from 2019.—Love this place for always pleasant service.

    Came as a party of two. From the moment we entered the manager, Ryan greeted us and quickly pulled up our reservation and guided us to our seats.That set the tone for the rest of the night. The service was impeccable. A true complement to the beautiful decor, and the scrumptious food.Both of us were taken a back by how good the food was. The chicken was cooked to perfection. The skin was perfectly crispy when the fork went in we heard the audible sound of the crunch. The sauce it was paired with inspired a sense of nostalgia to meals I had in my childhood. It truly felt like a homemade Sunday chicken as my date put it.The crepe was so savory, the potatoes were outstanding and the salmon was excellent.The whole evening was wonderful, and we would both come back for another no doubt wonderful evening.

    Uploaded——————————————————I made a reservation and visited on Christmas Eve. The beautiful decorations instantly lifted my spirits before we even started eating. We ordered Espresso Martinis and martinis, along with onion soup and Beef Bourguignon. Both the drinks and food had a clean taste, and despite being rich, we enjoyed every bite. I highly recommend this place for special occasions!——————————————————So good taste food and drinkNice service makes me happyFancy modern style vibing tooI ordered Quiche Vegetarienne with Espresso Martini. The steamed egg really soft like melting in my mouth.

    The ultimate dining experience. Elegant but cozy with lofty, airy ceilings, impeccable decor, large windows that flood each room with light, and perfectly placed plants create the most inviting atmosphere.Previously I had the salmon-buckwheat crepe and loved it. This time I felt like something more substantial. I arrived without a reservation and waited about 30 minutes in what felt like a Restoration Hardware showroom. I was served a drink while I waited and the staff was so friendly that we chatted about his family origin.Once seated at my tables I ordered the filet, which came with a light salad, and the aux gratin potatoes. I had intended to only eat half of each to not feel too full - but I couldn’t stop eating.The potatoes were buttery without being too creamy. The salad was beautiful - light and refreshing. The filet aux poivre had a delicious black pepper sauce. I wanted to lick the plate. Cooked a perfect medium-rare.This is my favorite high end dining experience in Noho

    The food was quite good but the atmosphere was a little stuffy inside. We sat outside and it was just okay atmosphere (better than inside). The service was good but it was hard to flag down the hostess initially (even though we had reservations). It was also a bit hard to find the door (others were having a hard time, too)! The mixed drinks are great but the wines are rather pricey

  • Review 9 (2024-08-28 - Rating: 5)

    Everything was beyond amazing here. All the dishes were fresh and delicious, and the service was white glove. Will definitely not be my last visit here, and cannot believe I have not dined here before. The quality of the the products they serve is French level good.

  • Review 10 (2024-05-19 - Rating: 4)

    A classic French spot with traditional dishes. The croissants are flaky and delicious. The drinks were also great! Is it overpriced? Yes. But if youre looking for a Parisian vibe with excellent service and great food, you need to come at least once.

    La marcerie is a most wonderful place for a nice dinner with friends or family, enjoying wonderful food and very good service while at a beautifully decorated table.

  • Review 12 (2024-12-23 - Rating: 5)

    This is a gorgeous restaurant right on the edge of Soho. My wife and I have come for brunch the last 3 Christmases, and plan to do so as long as we can.Menu highlights for us are the cheese plate, the crepes, and the layered puff pastry dessert. The food is definitely on the pricey side, so youre definitely paying for the vibe. That being said, its still a very nice treat to visit, especially around the holidays

  • Review 13 (2024-06-05 - Rating: 5)

    Really really enjoyed a light lunch here recently. The lattes are very good and so was my chacuterie platter. Love their dining sets. The whole place, setup.....Sooooo pretty !!!!!!!🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

    One of my favorite spots for brunch in NYC. Took my kids there at the end of November, it was beautiful and festive. The desserts are divine.I love their egg with whipped cauliflower and tofu.

  • Review 15 (2023-08-18 - Rating: 4)

    Came here for my post-bday brunch and have to say that indoors is really beautiful! Inside is bustling but still somewhat spacious. The choice of decor is very chic and elegant too.But on to the food, as most have already mentioned, the portions are on the lighter side so best not to come in super hungry lol However, the taste is delicious. We started off with the cheeses which was just okay. But the Crepe Complete and Heritage Chicken were beautifully done. There is that nice and delicate flavor almost which we enjoyed.Drink 53 (pomegranate, lime and honey) was delicious and their coffee with latte art was a bonus! you know we love our latte arts lol Service was good but was a tad slow somehow.After we ate we checked out their pieces and furniture and had a fun time just marveling how well made and beautiful they were especially the woodworks. Definitely a nice time but most likely wouldnt recommend unless its for special occasions or for the experience since it is on the pricier side for such small portions of food.

    The beautiful interior is modern yet cozy, with stylish touches that make the space both elegant and inviting. The presentation of the food is exceptional, with each dish looking like a work of art. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable, perfect for a casual meal or a special night out. The friendly staff add to the charm, providing attentive and warm service.

  • Review 17 (2024-04-23 - Rating: 5)

    Right off you are welcomed with a beautiful natural green and flowers display by the door. The food was outstanding, make sure to get cod as an entree wow melts in your mouth recommended by the server, and a buckwheat crepe with salmon. Drinks were very good as well. This place is known for filming of remake of Sex and the City and Sarah Jessica Parker sat at the corner table by the entrance. So thats exciting. Also they have a store and you if you liked their plates etc., you can buy it from the store at the end of the restaurant. Come and enjoy! Bon Appetit!

  • Review 19 (2023-05-01 - Rating: 4)

    As pretty as it looks. Very unique setting linked to a furniture shop but gives a lovely ascetic. We only stopped in for a drink cause it was raining and they had finished the lunch service but the menu looked good. Giving a 4 as i ordered a beer and half of it was the head.. a bit disappointed for $11. Recommend for a lovely lunch or brunch with friends/family.

  • Review 20 (2024-01-12 - Rating: 5)

    Went for brunch over the holidays and really enjoyed everything from the atmosphere to drinks to our food. I recommend making a reservation as it seemed most people were putting their names on a waitlist and returning much later to dine. I also loved being able to shop next door when we were done!

  • Review 21 (2024-07-10 - Rating: 5)

    Special place with retail adjoining restaurant. Our party of 4 loved the setting, service and menu. Be prepared to eat major carbs, hard to resist.

  • Review 22 (2024-11-12 - Rating: 4)

    “I recently visited La Mercerie and I-have to say, the experience was a mixed bag with some definite highlights. Let’s start with the food — it was truly delicious! Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, with flavors that felt fresh and balanced. The chef clearly put effort into the presentation as well, making every plate look as good as it tasted. From the appetizers to the main course, everything was satisfying and left me wanting to come back just to try more of the menu.The cocktails were another standout! The bartenders here really know what they’re doing. Each drink was unique, with creative combinations that surprised and delighted. I loved how they incorporated fresh ingredients and house-made infusions. Plus, the presentation was beautiful, making it almost too pretty to drink.The interior design is definitely something to talk about. It’s clear a lot of thought went into the decor, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere with a stylish edge. The lighting was perfect, setting a cozy mood, and there were lovely design details throughout the space, like vintage accents and carefully chosen art pieces. It’s the kind of place that feels special as soon as you walk in.However, the service was just average. The staff was friendly, but they seemed a bit overwhelmed, and there were moments when we had to wait longer than expected for our drinks and food. Nothing too bad, but given the quality of everything else, I hoped for a more attentive experience. Overall, it was a great night, but a bit more polish in the service could elevate the whole experience to match the fantastic food, cocktails, and ambiance.

  • Review 23 (2023-06-28 - Rating: 5)

    Absolutely great experience. Arrived without a reservation and the maitre was friendly and accommodating, and got me a table without any issues. The food is excellent, as are the drinks. The service was great, friendly, and attentive, avoiding interrupting or being overly on top of me.This is a great place for groups, couples, and even for dining solo. Highly recommended!

    Was here for brunch with my friend. Outdoor seating was a little cold because the heating is set up a little high in the ceiling but still the food was amazing and the service was great! The lemon cheese cake was my favorite! Indoor seating looked very pretty and it is also a concept store in the back. so I’d love to come back.

  • Review 26 (2024-09-24 - Rating: 5)

    I had an incredible experience here visiting the city with my girlfriends. The heirloom tomato salad and salmon crepe were delicious, but the best part of our Mercerie experience was our server, Sean! He was an absolute delight, so funny and charming and he was quick with the recommendations, all of which were fabulous! I will be coming back just for him. Highly recommend.

  • Review 27 (2024-06-16 - Rating: 5)

    We came in just for drinks at the Guild Bar. The welcoming hospitality was appreciated, but being surrounded by so many beautiful design pieces and hearing about the artists really the showstopper. Our bartender Carl told us each cocktail was designed around the crystal it is served in, which are all gorgeous. Dont forget to browse the artist collection!

  • Review 28 (2023-08-25 - Rating: 4)

    I would highly recommend the braised short ribs with Stortini pasta (looked like the krafts Mac and cheese pasta), beef tartare and feuillete. Short ribs was very tender and paired perfectly with the onion and stortini pasta. Beef tartare was very flavorful and worked so well with the baguette that we ordered. I loved feuillete mainly because of how buttery the pastry is. Great food overall! One of the waiters was amazing and gave us a free cookie to go!

  • Review 29 (2023-02-01 - Rating: 4)

    Restaurant and customer service was fabulous but the food was just okay.We walked in at 5.30 pm on Monday and luckily we could dine in for Dinner .The place is very decorative, beautiful and peaceful. I consider going back to try some cocktails.I still have some second thought of the mains here. My boyfriend had the duck leg and I had the braised ribs and pasta . The duck tasted okay but I couldn’t finish the ribs neither pasta. I would rather have fluke for main .I really like the vibes here even though the food didn’t impress me that much.We might go back again once they have something new .

  • Review 30 (2023-07-14 - Rating: 4)

    Great food, great atmosphere and friendly service….we went to an early dinner so did not get to enjoy the full dinner menu. Nonetheless, what we order was tasty and just right—pictures tell you all.

  • Review 31 (2021-10-11 - Rating: 4)

    I really enjoyed brunch here! We ordered several things: the francoise (my mocktail), the am brioche (with creme anglaise), the quiche of the day (which was aubergine, cottage cheese and tomato), the soft boiled egg (cauliflower and tofu puree and comte cheese), the crepe complete and the baba au rhum dessert. We really enjoyed the quiche and the egg dishes! They were very balanced in terms of flavor and the textures were like melt in your mouth! The brioche texture was great but with the sugar crust made it too sweet for me with the creme anglaise. The crepe was decent but way more ham than i expected which ended up making it too salty. However, i do acknowledge that i dont usually eat food with too much salt so i am definitely on the more sensitive side. Im sure others really enjoy this one. The dessert was way to alcoholic in terms of flavor for me so unfortunately i was unable to finish it. However, the service was great - our server was really patient and kind to us and brunch over all was very lovely!

  • Review 34 (2022-08-21 - Rating: 5)

    Make sure to call to make reservations as weekends are hectic. The hosts did a splendid job, we reserved for outside but moved to inside. Wait can be a lil long but its understandable as the place is small. Our server never introduced themselves. In fact, no one did. Thats not a big deal. The food was so good that I cried after the first bite and sip.the only that was wrong was the gold silver wears werent new but thats fine. The deserts and everything presented on thr tables looked so good. For my first time at a French restaurant, I was impressed and Ill definitely be back.

  • Review 35 (2021-12-05 - Rating: 4)

    If you’re looking for a restaurant with a warm swanky vibe that’s great for people watching, this is the place. Loved walking through the home shop while waiting for our food. The food was ok. I had the vegetarian option which I was grateful they had, but not quite anything to write home about. We also had the beans and potato sides which were nice. The desert crepe was a lovely way to end the meal.Sustainability rating: 3.5 out of 5 (average). Used reusable utensils and dinnerware and a cloth napkin, to be expected at a nice restaurant.

  • Review 36 (2019-04-24 - Rating: 4)

    Went there for Easter brunch and everything was delicious. Mainly savory menu, so if you’re into sweet dishes for breakfast, you may want to look for another option. The service was great. They only have tables for parties up to 4 people, we were 5 and booked 2 tables, the staff was kind enough to give us two tables next to each other. Everything we ordered was amazing

    My friend and I had brunch here on a Friday and the places seemed pretty busy. Like many places these days, you scan QR code to access their online menu. My friend and I shared an appetizer, ordered buckwheat crepe and quiche. The dishes were presented nicely (Instagram ready) and very tasty. My quiche was fluffy, creamy and light. We also shared a gluten-free cake. As someone who eats regular cake all the time, their gluten free version tasted pretty good to me.

  • Review 41 (2021-06-26 - Rating: 5)

    We came for brunch and had a great time. Really nice setting on the patio, tables nicely spaced out, charming quiet street. The Crepe Complete is excellent and would only be better if it was slightly more filling. Highly recommend.

    La Mercerie has been on my list for many years, i finally went for brunch with a friend last weekend.TOTALLY in love with the space. It’s huge, the lower lever ia for private event.The design is beautiful and the food was very good.We tried the quiche and the crepe.They take reservations both inside and outside.Good for dates or any celebration in my opinion!

  • Review 43 (2021-08-11 - Rating: 5)

    DELICIOUS place to eat. Keep in mind we had a party of 15 and our friend reserved our brunch months in advance, so I dont know how long the actual wait is. The food was delicious though and of course pricey, as it is an up-scale restaurant. I had the sweet crepes (I forgot the actual name), the rice pudding, and a croissant. If you can, definitely try this place. Its worth every penny. Also, its kind of a furniture shop inside? Very interesting place.

  • Review 44 (2023-08-02 - Rating: 4)

  • Review 45 (2023-01-13 - Rating: 5)

    Butter galore! We went in for their brunch and the food was very on point with French staples. The croissants are well made with such buttery flakiness; even the waitress informed us they import their butter from France. We ordered the savory crepe and the oeuf cocette, which were all delicious (also why everyone ordered these dishes) and even had their gem salad on the side for some greens. The decorum and ambiance is an aesthetic and definitely instagram worthy. I would definitely come back here again for brunch and even dinner.

  • Review 46 (2025-01-02 - Rating: 5)

    We visited yesterday for the first time, the brunch was amazing and there matcha I recommend it. Special mentions for the waiter Carlos, he was helpful and polite.

  • Review 47 (2020-10-04 - Rating: 4)

    Wish I could give 5 stars but the small portions for the steep prices make this a 4 at most, no matter how incredible the outdoor setup and dishware and food may be. Went for outdoor brunch and it was one of the best sidewalk/street setups I’ve seen so far - digital temperature checks, heat lamps built into the umbrellas, beautiful flowers and vines, lovely place settings. Would definitely recommend for a fall weekend day! Their All Day Menu includes a brunch section with egg and crepe offerings. We got a croque monsieur which was not the best I’ve had — bread was delicious but too crisp to slice to eat it nicely, and hardly had any egg or ham on it for $22, and didn’t come with a side dish or salad. The quiche lorraine was amazing, fluffiest quiche I’ve ever had, but again, for over $20, a small slice of quiche with a couple leaves of arugula as a salad is hard to justify. The espressos are also $7 apiece which is high even for NYC coffees. Other highlights — the flourless chocolate torte is seriously good, and the service couldn’t have been nicer. Plus their dishes, of course, are some of the nicest you’ll see at a restaurant. If the portions were a little better for the price point I’d be much more likely to come back often!

    Super French Restaurant... great!!! per minutes you took me to France. The elegant main course presentation and delicious smell was according with the taste. Simple without much seasoning of spices but all balanced. Alexia, the hostess was cute helpful in everything.The Gallery and The Art Library are amazing. To expend more time visit this place.The unique recommendation could be some tables are lower than chairs, harassing the diner. Good Job to the owners.

    This has been one of my favorite spots since moving to New York. I often come for brunch or evening drinks. First time to have dinner here and yet again, impressed by the food, ambience, and service. The beef bourguinion was a great choice though I also wanted to get duck confit. Dessert was a lovely cap off to the meal. I think I prefer coming here during the day as the interiors are much lovelier. Great for dates and catch ups!Don’t forget to get a Negroni or two

    We enjoyed an extraordinary brunch at LeMercerie! Delicious chocolate croissants, Buckwheat Crepes, Croque Madame, chocolate freshly baked cookie and hazelnut cream crepes for dessert. Bellinis and wine topped off our epicurean experience. The venue transported us back to Cannes, exquisitely decorated, remarkable dining ware, and of course, outstanding service. Price point was perfect! Our server, Annika, was outstanding !!! Annika made an already outstanding experience even more outstanding! She explained each creation to us as it was being served, while she offered numerous suggestions that might appeal to us. She is a definite asset to Le Mercerie. Le Mercerie is a shining star! Reservations are a must especially for weekend brunch. Bon Appetit!!!

    I bought some cookies to go. The atmosphere is beautiful and I would like to return for brunch. Move over Levain, this cookie is my new favorite in NYC without a doubt!

    I had lunch here last week together with my son and we loved it. We both had a crêpe complète with a salad. The crêpes were delicious! We also loved our deserts: tarte tropezienne and profiteroles au chocolat! The tarte was just as good as in St. Tropez! The service was attentive. Definitely a recommendation and I hope to return soon.

    Ambiance, check. Taste, check. Presentation, check. Service, room for improvement. Began with bread & Bordier butter. Nice. The chicken moist & skin crispy but the real star garlic ginger tuile is front and center. The whipped cauliflower cream compliments the soft boiled egg with cheese shavings effortlessly.

  • Review 89 (2024-10-09 - Rating: 5)

    First as a Founder and designer in Hospitality industry for over 25 years the atmosphere created by Roman & Williams is just pure magic. The space feels elegant and sophisticated but yet approachable. The service is truly impeccable, other high end restaurants should take note on quality of services at La Mercerie, the food is beautifully presented and delicious as it should be as they calibrate with local farms in New York State, a true Farm to table French Experience. Afterwards if you feel inclined to shop their table top accessories for a something your missing for you home you can shop their lines at the back of the store. 10 out of 10 great experience the moment you walk in to the door as it should be.

  • Review 97 (2023-12-18 - Rating: 5)

    Outstanding French cuisine in a sophisticated setting. Every single thing we tried, from the bread and butter to the desserts and coffee was delicious, well presented and satisfying.Our waiter made great suggestions and the maitre’d happily accommodated us by seating us 30 minutes early to get out of the rain. I would highly recommend La Mercerie for real French food without the pretense or stuffiness of some midtown places. FYI don’t expect to find vegetarian options.

  • Review 98 (2024-06-17 - Rating: 4)

    It’s so cute inside and out server was sweet. food came out efficiently. we ordered lightly, only sharing the sweet crepes and a chocolate chip cookie. they have a popular chocolate chip cookie which a lot of people say is the best in nyc. it’s pretty good and i like the touch of sea salt that they add. i definitely think it’s better than other places like levain or funny face but i’m not sure if it’s my favorite. it’s very good quality but it’s about $7 which i think is little crazy for a cookie although it is big. the sweet crepes weren’t that great themselves. i’m the type of person that can eat a crepe completely plain but these lacked flavor. they were already buttered and they came with a vanilla bean sugar and a homemade jam. the sugar and the jam were both amazing but didn’t provide enough flavor for the crepes. they were also relatively small at such a high price. i would go back because the pastries looked good and some of the other dishes also looked very good.

  • Review 99 (2020-03-09 - Rating: 4)

    Very nice! Walked in, although it looks small from the outside, it’s huge inside! They have a bar table area for those wanting coffee, and tables for those having food.I only had a coffee and a maple syrup croissant, which was surprisingly very small however packed full of flavour!Couldn’t give the 5 stars as I have tried their food yet!Instagram: Thishan.rv

  • Review 102 (2024-08-02 - Rating: 4)

    Definitely had high expectations for an evening of French cuisine. Walked in and was WOWED 😊for 10 seconds by venue until we were seated by the 2nd section in rear retail shop. Ambiance changed from elegant & romantic to brightly lit shopping.We had 3 different servers during the course of the evening. Our Salmon entree got mixed up with a chicken instead. It tasted good so we did not point out the mistake.Also got billed $10 extra for a Shrimp Apero. This was rectified. We arrived at 4:30 but ordered from both menus. Needs to be more organized…The Apero menu is 3-5 pm Monday- Friday. Dinner starts at 5 pm. Overall the food was good but lacked excitement. I was hoping to be overwhelmed.The staff was polite & accommodating. We would return for another try of the Apero but would insist for seating in the main section.Good vibes overall

    Truly the most wonderful restaurant in New York! I am thrilled!Food, service, ambience... everything!The servers are extremely pleasant and kind, and on the other hand, they are not too forced to go around so that they dont allow you to enjoy and talk - unlike most places here (because they usually approach you with refills of water and questions every 3 minutes, which is mostly tiring, because you cant talk from them).Absolutely every segment deserves a pure recommendation from me!Our server Wyatt was wonderful and many compliments to him.The steak tartare is the best Ive ever tried, and the mille-feuille noisette is a must-try.I will definitely come again as soon as possible!

    Highly recommend coming here for brunch and sitting outside. The space is so unique: you can see right in the kitchen which was a beautiful orchestration, the guild area is so beautiful, and I walked downstairs to the bathroom and got a sneak of the employees setting up a BEAUTIFUL long table for a special lunch. It looked like it may be a wedding or baby shower. It was classy, bright, and beautiful.We ordered the tomato and fennel seasonal quiche, an almond croissant, yogurt and berries, and the crepes au sucre. It was the best meal I had in the city during this trip. My mom commented that “this is how a quiche should be cooked” and that it was soft and fluffy. The croissant was so much more than I expected.Bravo!

Everything from the menu to the service was amazing from beginning to end. The space allowed for intimate conversations and great pictures. The chocolate chip cookie was the icing on the cake for me.
