🥐 Croissants to Chocolate Soufflé

Nice Matin is a bustling Upper West Side French brasserie inside the Hotel Lucerne at 201 W 79th St, pairing French Riviera fare with sidewalk tables and a book-length wine list. Mornings move at a cozy, sit-down pace, with eggs Benedict and a baked goods basket of warm croissants.

Lunch and dinner bring classics like Niçoise salad and pan bagnat, plus a handful of Italian dishes. The dining room grows livelier as the day goes on, drawing families and older locals. Order the chocolate soufflé with your mains, as it is baked to order and needs a twenty minute head start.

Breakfast and lunch run daily from 8 AM to half past three, and dinner from 5 PM to 10 PM Sunday through Thursday and until 11 PM on Friday and Saturday. Reserve ahead for weekends, and a coat check is on hand.
