Charming the neighborhood since 2017, Francophiles will feel right at home at La Parisienne, a shoebox cafe serving some of the best brunch in the Financial District. Helmed by a young French couple, the menu is replete with breakfast staples like french toast, salmon brioche and incredible avocado toast.
Everything on the menu is bound to impress, which isn’t a coincidence. The owners, Julie and Adrian, worked for city’s best French restaurants (Benoit, Ladurée, Tartinery) before stepping out on their own. From quick coffee runs to aperol hour and leisurely lunches, La Parisienne is a personal favorite.
Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
