OCabanon

Excellent service, ambience, and authentic French food.

I am European, lived in Nice almost a decade and miss France. The owner, Armel, was extremely attentive and courteous. Lots of French people hanging out here.

The foie gras was delicious, great pairing with Jurancon, and the fondant was on point!

We'll be back!

Classic French dishes served in a chill and relaxing atmosphere.
Came here for lunch at their opening time on a weekday. l was the only person at the restaurant for the first 30 minutes and got a nice bar seat up front. For a French restaurant in Midtown, this seemed like a rarity, but I was glad to enjoy my lunch peacefully.
Foie gras plate was a nice start to the meal. Along with the classic combination of toast, fig, and foie gras, they also had some salad which nicely refreshened my palate before digging in.
On the other hand, the duck breast was unfortunately slightly overcooked. The red wine reduction sauce and the veggies on the side were good, but not worth its price. I’ve had much better duck breasts at a similar price point, so this was surely a disappointment.
Thankfully, the crème brûlée was amazing despite its unassuming presentation. It would’ve been better with more strawberries, but i was able to finish the meal on a satisfactory note nonetheless.

I live near an hour away from the Alsace region of France, yet while in New York, my wife requested I find a nice quiet restaurant to get away from the city roar... and Google suggested here when I asked it to find the same. OCabanon is such a nice little french getaway. The cuisine was elegant and just as we expected from the setting. One way I judge the refinement of a french restaurant is by their crème brûlée - it was classic and perfect.

The burger came with brie cheese I thought was lovely and enjoyed it. I had that with some Stella Artois and it was a lovely lunch. Young bartender was very professional.
