Was walking around looking for a calm spot to enjoy my afternoon and Sel et Poivre caught my attention. Quaint and beautifully decorated French bistro. Sat by the bar since it’s right in between the front seating of the restaurant and the back, doors were open and there was still that feeling of sitting outdoors and brought me back to Paris. Bartender was very knowledgeable, kind and friendly. Very professional staff and food looked amazing. I had eaten before coming in but cant wait to get back and try it out.

Loved everything, ambience, service and the food. I had the veal kidneys in mustard sauce which were wonderful. The special cucumber salad was delicious and refreshing, and the apricot crepes was a nice change. Sweetbreads on Wednesdays will bring me back.

This is one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in NYC. The food was amazing; some of the best I’ve had. The atmosphere is not only warm and inviting and intimate, but it resembled that of an actual Parisian restaurant, and the prices were very fair. And the servers and the bar tender were the absolute best; our waiter, Alberto, was one of the kindest and purest person I have ever met. He was super attentive and welcoming and I cannot wait to go back to this place on my next visit to NYC. Definitely one of the main highlights of the trip to NYC

Excellent casual French dining. Pate was amazing as was the schnitzel and the monk fish and shrimp platter. They offer a three course dinner option – recommend that, as well!

Good service. Top location . French cuisine. Rissoto rise was tasty. Chicken also is a great deal. The mild wine makes the difference for us because is rare in Manhattan during the cold winters.

Excellent value for casual French food in the UES. We had the prix fixe brunch which included a bloody mary, mimosa or screwdriver as well as a brunch entree for just under $20 total. The croque monsieur was totally serviceable for this price.

A true neighborhood bistro as only dedicated owners and staff can consistently deliver. The Sport-jacketed gents, who accompany those Ladies-who-still-Lunch, creates an ambiance so very Upper East Side. Terrific menu full of Francophone value. Sincere and professional service, always.

Hard, cold chunk of butter served with slightly warmed bread. Soup du jour had been sitting in the bowl for a while and probably went through the microwave. The ring visible in the bowl was right after they served it, before I tried it. This was at 1pm on a Sunday, lunch/brunch time.
