French,SeafoodDemarchelier is an authentically French restaurant with a small but varied menu. Lunch and dinner prix fixe menus are the same, though for $26 you get an app., entree, dessert and complimentary glass of wine! The steak tartare comes highly recommended and the tripe, for those whose palates allow, is similarly lauded.

User reviews
The prix fixe is one of the best deals on the UES
Reviewed on Tuesday, 23 October 2007
Nowadays French bistros prompt little more than a rolling of the eyes, but when one has survived as long as Demarchelier, holding court on the corner of 86th street and Madison Avenue, it deserves a serious glance. Open for lunch and dinner, this neighborhood spot has been around for decades amassing a fervent local fan base for both its restaurant and bar. Though pleasant and sun-lit during the day, evenings reign at Demarchelier, when jealous passerby can?t help but notice the warm yellow glow emanating from its faded red fa?ade, housing the boisterous crowd within. Diners young and old alike revel in the familiar d?cor- candles aflame atop classic white tablecloths, wooden floors worn and disfigured by years of use, smiling patrons forever captured in the black-and-white photographs lining the walls- all offset by Patrick Demarchelier?s bright oil paintings (they happen to be for sale if one of the colorful compositions catches your eye). Prices are far from inexpensive with appetizers around $8.00 and entrees around $24.00, but no one seems to mind. A salad of endive, apple and Roquefort is divine- each ingredient in perfect proportion to the next and dressed in a light mustard vinaigrette- and steak tartare is luscious and smooth, but overwhelmed by a too-dense spattering of black peppercorns throughout. On average soups are excellent and I routinely opt for whichever is featured on the blackboard outside. Entrees range from seared scallops over sweet peas to a substantial rib-eye steak, but the best option (and value) by far is the Prix Fixe. For $25.00 one gets a choice of an appetizer (mesclun salad, soup, or pat? campagne), a main (grilled salmon, steak frites, or coq au vin), and a glass of vin de pays, be it red or white. With a good char and crunchy fries, the steak frites is a resounding success (and only available via the Prix Fixe), and the fish is just as satisfying accompanied by a Dijon cream sauce; the coq au vin is just as good, refreshingly lighter than usual but hearty nonetheless. For dessert, Demarchelier?s profiteroles are transcendent- rich vanilla ice cream sandwiched between puff pastry and topped with a heavy drizzle of thick hot fudge. The wine list is reasonable enough and complements the classic French fare. With its delectable food and cozy ambience, Demarchelier makes it clear just how rare, and rarified, a real bistro truly is.

demarchelier, c'est un bon repas
Reviewed on Tuesday, 10 July 2007
I love demarchelier. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. Its a little small inside but the hum and buzz of conversations and others dinging makes it feel homey (even though it's a pretty elegant place). The classic French bistro food is the best in the area and the fact that it's always packed proves it. It's by no means cheap eats though, so save a trip there for a special occasion and order what I got!! it's so good and i have it every time I go.
