Bar Frites brings the heart of a Parisian bistro to the North Shore of Long Island. Set within the stylish Wheatley Plaza in Greenvale, this neighborhood favorite is elegant but approachable — a place where locals gather for a lively brunch, a relaxed midday lunch, or a beautifully prepared dinner.

The space is warm and inviting: globe pendant lights, white subway tiles, dark wood trim, and a vintage mirrored backbar that gives it that unmistakable European charm. There's an old-world energy here, but it never feels stuffy — it’s the kind of restaurant where the hum of conversation and clinking glasses fills the room.

The menu leans into French bistro classics with modern execution. Start with the croque monsieur or a traditional onion soup — deeply savory and topped with golden, bubbling gruyère. The steak frites is a signature dish here, seared just right and served with crispy fries and house béarnaise. Other standouts include the pan-seared duck breast, mussels in white wine broth, and tender roasted chicken with garlic herb jus. Even the simple salade niçoise delivers bold flavor in every bite.

Cocktails are classic and clean — expect a perfectly stirred martini, a refreshing French 75, or something seasonal and crisp. The wine list is balanced and thoughtful, with just enough French varietals to keep purists happy and plenty of options for everyday enjoyment.

The staff at Bar Frites is polished, friendly, and attentive — they know the menu well and offer genuine recommendations. The crowd is a mix of couples, families, and friends meeting over great food and conversation, especially during the always-busy weekend brunch.

Whether you're in the mood for a long, leisurely meal or just a quick midday escape, Bar Frites delivers consistency, warmth, and bistro comfort with every visit.
