NYC | Authentic French Food Without the Hefty Price Tag 💰🇫🇷

While Manhattan’s French restaurants are often criticized for being pricey and small in portion, this charming spot comes highly recommended by a French classmate—so you know it’s legit! 😉✨ ▫️Escargots a L’ail 🐌 Half a dozen tender snails topped with flaky pastry, soaking in rich garlic butter. Guilty but oh-so-satisfying! 🧈😋 ▫️Chicken Liver Mousse a la Poire 🥖 Surprisingly delightful! The French really know their liver pâté—smooth, flavorful, and perfect spread on crusty baguette slices. 🍐🦢 ▫️Steak au Poivre 🥩 A generously sized steak cooked to perfection, ideal for sharing with friends. Classic and comforting. 🔥🥂 ▫️Long Island Duck Breast 🦆 Juicy and tender duck breast that practically melts under your fork. They even ask for your preferred doneness—attention to detail matters! 🌿🍽️ ▫️Banana Creme Brulee 🍌 A must-order for any crème brûlée lover! The banana twist is genius, and cracking that caramelized top never gets old. 🍮💛 ▫️Fondant au Chocolat 🍫 Warm, gooey chocolate lava cake paired with hazelnut ice cream—a divine contrast of temperatures and textures. ❤️🍨 ▫️Crepe Suzette 🍊 A rare treat! Flambéed crepes with orange liqueur, balancing fruity freshness and subtle boozy warmth. Sadly, it’s no longer on the regular menu—truly missed! 🥞🍊 Most dishes at Amelie are priced in the teens, with only the duck breast reaching $40. Yet every bite reflects skilled preparation and heartfelt authenticity—proof that great French food doesn’t have to break the bank! 💫 Awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand for five consecutive years, this Upper West Side bistro is a true hidden gem. 🏆🌹 📍 Amelie Bistro & Wine Bar 566 Amsterdam Ave, New York, NY 10024 #NYCFood #FrenchBistro #BibGourmand #UWS #NYCEats #AffordableLuxury #HiddenGem #FoodieNYC #DateNightSpot #NYCDining #FrenchCuisine #WineBarVibes
