Known simply as the most authentic French restaurant in New York City, Chez Napoléon has been a staple in the Theatre District since 1960 and has been family-run ever since.
Seating approximately 40 people, our quiet, little restaurant is a favorite to New Yorkers and visitors alike for its "tucked away" atmosphere and its authentic French dining menu prepared by the Bruno family's matriarch, familiarly known as 'Grand-mere' Marguerite.
Chez Napoléon also boasts a unique Martini selection, Jigsaw Puzzles, a generous Prix-Fixe Menu, friendly service, and above all, the most authentic French dining experience without the hassle and cost of flying to Paris for dinner
