Profile

Veteran chef Andy (Sign of the Dove) D'Amico strikes a popular chord with a multitude of Riviera-inspired hors d'oeuvre like pissaladiere and panisses, and continues the bold, garlic-imbued theme with soupe au pistou, fennel-cured mackerel, and roast cod with ratatouille nicoise and anchoiade. In true Upper West and French Riviera fashion, warm-weather sidewalk seating abounds.

Brunch

Sat, 10:30am-3:30pm, Sun 10:30am-3pm. Try the platter of scrambled eggs tossed with a generous crumbling of spicy merguez sausage.

My friends took me out here for a birthday. The place is small, so you kind of feel cramped. And boy, do they turn up the heat on this place! The food was good overall. The portions are smaller, a la French Cuisine. Very fancy, with a coat check.

so much fun!

I always have a great time at nice matin.. best french fries in nyc. I can always count on the VERY knowledgeable waitstaff to guide me, and they're so good at what they do, sometimes I say "just surprise me". I'm never disapointed, and living 5 blks away, not only am I fortunate to frequent, but it is also my choice, especially when I have out-of-town guest.
