Private Room

Frenchette's upstairs private room transforms your group gathering into an intimate Left Bank affair, where the same exceptional French bistro cooking that has made this Tribeca gem a neighborhood institution gets elevated with dedicated service and a secluded setting. The space captures all the warmth of the main dining room's zinc bar and vintage mirrors while giving your party the freedom to linger over natural wines and plates of perfect steak frites without watching the clock. Executive Chef Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson's refined take on bistro classics—think duck confit with frisée and lardons or their legendary burger—shine even brighter when you can savor them at your own pace.

  • group dinner, party of 7
    There was so much good food on the table. There’s nothing I didn’t like so I’m just going to mention the stand outs. The fish soup is amazing; comes with a little piece of bread in the middle that it soaks up perfectly without getting soggy. It’s a little tangy and so, so perfect 🖤 Sausage and oysters are like Destiny’s Child. Beyoncé is the sausage. Sausage is very low on the list of meats I’ll eat and I had a few of these. Absolutely amazing. But then you can have Kelly and Michelle to really set it off if you have it all together, but yeah, there’s no loss to just have one or the other. Hope that makes sense. The pâté and jam was fantastic. I was not a fan on the pâté sans jam, but I may not be sophisticated enough to be the judge of that. The pistachio dessert is amazing. The strawberry dessert is amazing. I didn’t think the eggs were particularly fantastic, but everyone else at the table had physical reactions to it in a good way, so worth trying. We were a group of seven and they did such a great job, keeping the clutter off the table, and keeping it clean through every round of food 🙏🏽
  • team dinner
    The heaviest door I’ve pushed and pulled to get in and get out of entered my life. 😅 My vendor took my team here. I was dreaming about the time I was dining here. The steak and the duck main dishes are so yummy. The pistachio creamy dessert was amazing so as drinks. I will go ago!!!!
  • group celebration lunch
    What a wonderful experience eating lunch with a group of friends at Frenchette! The food (lamb, steak, carrots+lentils, perfect omelette, bread were standouts), the staff from setting up the lunch to our waiter, the cocktail and wine suggestions, the cake we ordered for our small celebration (!) -- all fantastic. And to top it off, it was such a comfortable environment, so welcoming, and warm. I will definitely be back.
  • group brunch
    Cute little French spot tucked away in Tribeca. I love this spot. I recommend making a reservation but on certain days it isn't so crowded! I've tried both dinner and brunch here, both were great! Highly recommend the pancakes and the duck pasta. Most recently, I came for brunch and our group did family style so we could try a few things, this was a great choice! We will be back again soon.
  • group dinner
    Went here with a group of avid cooks and foodies. For such a highly rated establishment, we were disappointed by both the quality of our dishes and the unreasonably high prices. We ordered 5-6 appetizers for variety. The dishes were extremely simple - both in ingredients and in execution. So the prices didn’t make sense. On top of this, there was low depth of flavour and in some cases combining ingredients to make incompatible flavour profiles. After several days of eating in NYC this was our least favourite meal. Giving a generous 2 stars for the good drinks and ambiance.
