Quick info
About Café Fleuri
Café Fleuri is a French restaurant set in New York, at 109 Washington St, carrying an Austrian-Mediterranean direction inside a space with communal and banquette seating. Much of its identity comes from the overlap between French brasserie and modern European influences, reflected in a menu that spans mains across a broad range. The Wiener Schnitzel Paniert anchors the savory side as a grounded signature main, while the Apple Strudel serves as a classic dessert option and the Cauliflower appears among the listed dishes. Dining works across brunch, lunch, dinner, and drinks, with the subcategories covering bistro, cafe, wine bar, and cocktail bar formats in one place. Reservations are advised because the communal and banquette setup suits both larger shared tables and smaller seated meals.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers consistently praise the schnitzel and Austrian specialties, with the Wiener Schnitzel singled out repeatedly as a standout dish, alongside the apple strudel, which one reviewer says stole the show, and the dill cucumber salad served alongside the schnitzel. Diners highlight the fresh, flavorful food, with specific mentions of the loup de mer, escalope de poulet grenobloise, spicy lamb shoulder, and warm honey nut squash, and several note the sourdough bread as a must-order. The Austrian drinks also draw attention, including an Austrian-only drink, a dry white Austrian wine, and a Stiegl beer. One reviewer notes a wish that the schnitzel had been fried a bit longer as it seemed slightly uncooked, and another describes a server who was gone for an extended period, with drinks and food taking a long time to arrive and being difficult to flag down for attention.

“We were taken aback at first, expecting that it was a great Austrian restaurant that we enjoyed so much from our last trip in January. However, it turned out to be great. Food was delicious and staff were friendly! Highly recommend!”
- Cheryl Pink
“Just had an amazing meal at Cafe Fleuri and it absolutely delivered. The loup de mer was perfectly cooked—light, flaky, and super fresh. The escalope de poulet grenobloise was just as impressive, with that rich, buttery sauce bringing everything together. And don’t skip the sourdough… crispy on the outside, soft inside, and honestly a must-order. Simple, classic dishes done really well—definitely a spot worth coming back to.”

“Went for dinner on a French friend's recommendation and will definitely be back. The spicy lamb shoulder was the perfect texture, and spicy without being aggressive. Cocktails were also solid, especially the Boulevardier. The staff were …”

“What a beautiful hidden gem! It's not the typical French restaurant you find everywhere in NYC with their onion soup and the steak tartare... this one's menu invites you to explore! The charming service is always happy to help and if you're lucky to meet the owner there, you feel like he invited you to his house... A decent but thoughtful decoration and soft French background music complement the picture. Order food to share - especially the spreads - and feel like on a lazy afternoon at a terrace in Provence...”
