Amelie Bistro.

Affectionately known as “La Petite Amélie,” this Upper West Side restaurant is more intimate than the flagship in the West Village. Offering French-inspired fare in a cozy setting, the restaurant has a Bib Gourmand Michelin rating (prestigious award given to good-value restaurants).

The menu is full of tantalizing brasserie classics at affordable prices (for the neighborhood). Start the meal with wine-steamed mussels. I’m a big fan of the house burger and seared black sea bass.

Amelie is one of my favorite restaurants on the Upper West Side for happy hour as well. The draw is the $14 wine flight, which gives you the opportunity to sample three wines from different regions (choose from a selection of rosé, white or red flights).

Better still, Monday is moules-frites day! You can score steamed mussels, french fries and a glass of wine for $31 all night long.

The draw is the $14 wine flight, which gives you the opportunity to sample three wines from different regions (choose from a selection of rosé, white or red flights).

If you’re a frequent flier at this neighborhood haunt and have tried the flights, opt for the $10 glass of red, white, rosé, or sparkling (sommelier’s choice, changes daily). Not into wine? Beer goes for $5 during happy hour, which is practically unheard of in NYC.

As for food, there’s a handful of small plates on offer like the soupe du jour, escargot, cheese plates, goat cheese salad and tuna tartare. Amelie was awarded a Bib Gourmand by the Michelin Guide (a distinction for good-value restaurants), so you can bet the food is held to a high standard.
