French Bistro Plates and Strawberry Crepes in Queens

Café Henri brings French bistro cooking to a corner of Long Island City in Queens. Yellow walls, blue woodwork and a worn wooden floor frame an intimate room for a family meal. The menu moves from onion soup and steak au poivre to savory quiches, with dessert crepes offering a sweet finish.

For a table with different appetites, savory quiches and dessert crepes give you two directions to consider. The crepe pictured here is folded beside strawberries, with red sauce drizzled across the top. Choose the dishes that suit your group, then leave room for conversation around the table. The neighborhood setting makes this a straightforward restaurant stop to build your outing around.
