A French Bistro on the Upper West Side: Dinner, and a $49 Prix Fixe Every Night
Amélie sits at 566 Amsterdam Avenue, and if you are looking for a French restaurant on the Upper West Side, this is a French bistro with the heart of a wine bar. We have been here since 2017. Dinner is the classics, done the way you hope a French kitchen will do them, with a three-course prix fixe every night for $49.
The $49 prix fixe, every night
The prix fixe is served every night at dinner. Not everyone at the table has to order it. It is three courses:
- To start, the soup of the day, roasted cauliflower with butternut squash purée and black garlic, hand cut beef tartare, or escargots à l'ail.
- Then ravioles du Royans, moules-frites marinière, the Amélie burger, or the steak au poivre (an $8 supplement).
- To finish, vanilla crème brûlée or Valrhona dark chocolate mousse.
Tax and gratuity are not included. Swap the fries for truffle fries on the burger or the steak for $5.
Or order from the dinner menu
If you would rather build your own dinner, the dinner menu is where to start. A few of the classics:
- Warm goat cheese ball, with a pistachio crust and honey, $12
- Escargots à l'ail, $16
- French onion soup, $16
- Hand cut beef tartare, with quail egg, cornichons and harissa, $19
- Salade Lyonnaise, with warm bacon, a poached egg and mustard vinaigrette, $19
- Moules-frites marinière, $29
- Coq au vin, red wine braised chicken legs with button mushrooms, pearl onions and bacon lardons, $31
- Roasted hake, with mushroom broth, artichokes and hazelnut oil, $30
- Seared local duck breast, with celery root purée, maitake mushrooms and a Port sauce, $43
- Steak au poivre, Creekstone Farm hanger steak with peppercorn sauce, $39
Save room for a vanilla crème brûlée ($11), the dark chocolate mousse ($12) or the pear crumble ($12). To share, there is a cheese and charcuterie list: one item for $8, three for $21 or five for $32.
Oysters, and something to drink
Oysters are $1.50 at happy hour every day, and all day on Sundays and Mondays. Happy hour runs every day from 4 pm to 6 pm, with a $10 wine of the day and $14 wine flights; see the happy hour menu. For the wine list itself, read our guide to the wine bar on Amsterdam Avenue.
