B. Cafe West

B. Cafe West brings the sophistication and tradition of Belgian cuisine to uptown Manhattan. With an array of customary Belgian dishes, along with the largest selection of Belgian beers in New York City with our unique selection of draft and bottled beers, we aim to bring the essence of Belgium stateside through high quality, authentic cuisine and service. In addition to our famous Moules Frites (fresh mussels served with our signature fries), B. Cafe offers the best of Belgian cuisine - perhaps with a Gauffre De Bruxelles (Belgian waffle) from our brunch or dessert menu, our Steak Frite Belgique as a dinner entrée, or a Corsendonk Pale Ale to drink. B. Cafe welcomes you to join us in embracing the elegance and warmth of Belgium, right here in Manhattan.

"The "Prepare Americain" (Filet Americain) was very good (not prepared at the table; thus the past-tense "prepare" I suppose). Steak Frite also excellent. Tarte Tatin was a little bland, and pastry was a bit wet crackerish. Frites were almost there -- a little on the burned side, but good. Great beer selection.
Service was EXCELLENT, and the room is great!
One nit: the top of the dessert menu is "Belgian Cheese Cake with graham cracker crust" -- however there are no graham crackers and there are no NY-style cheesecakes in traditional or current Belgian cuisine. I can say from experience that there may be no graham crackers in the whole country (I used to use "Digestives" as a substitute in my recipe when living there)."

"Great préparé américain (i.e. Filet américain) and good selection of beers.
Small nit: "Belgian Cheesecake with graham cracker crust"??? Who are you kidding? No such thing - doesn't exist except at this resto.
All in all, nice dinner and very friendly service."

"Great food, both classic and contemporary, excellent beers and nice atmosphere. The long narrow room reminded me of some of the cafes in Belgium. We will return. Just avoid the tables to the left as they are smaller and in the flow of traffic from the kitchen."

"My first couple of meals at B. Cafe were standouts. During the past year, however, I've noticed somewhat of a decline in the quality and service. For example, the frites arrived cold and a bit soggy this time and the bread could have been much fresher. Mussels were great and plentiful (as usual)."

"When you're inside B. Cafe, you're no longer in New York City but in a little bistro in Paris or Brussels. It is a cozy restaurant with good food, reasonably priced wines and beer, and great ambience. Their specialty is mussels (several versions) with perfect fries on the side. Why try anything else?"

"As a Belgian living in CT I couldn't be happier to find a Belgian restaurant somewhat in my area.
The food was delicious and very reminiscent of my home country. My American boyfriend especially enjoyed the wide variation of Belgian beers.
I would highly recommend the country pâté or bitterballen as an appetizer, both very tasty.
I had carbonnades flamandes or "stoofvlees" as we call it. The dish was so good and the fries were crispy and perfect.
For dessert I went with crème brûlée, I loved it!

And the waffle with chantilly was amazing.
I lived in the neighborhood for years and am so disappointed that I did not try this sooner. I will go back for sure

"The price was great- brunch for about $25 per person, lovely/nice hostess, the only problem is that I reserved a table, we were right on time- meeting an old friend and told within 10 minutes that we needed to order immediately since the table was booked for 12:30 (our reserv was for 11. We couldn't relax and chat after brunch since the server was busily taking coffee cups out of our hands."

"This was my fourth time here and every meal has been terrific, this is a new "teflon" for us. The manager always comes by and makes sure you're having a good time and adds a personal touch but without hovering. We brought friends from out of town and had a very jolly time. We particularly enjoyed the mussels and aps, and the beer and wine are outstanding."

"The mussels are on the top of the list but the menu offers many options. And then there's the beer selection! Very cosy inside and when it's warm outside, there's nice seating on the sidewalk."

"As an Upper Westside resident, I was happy to find a local place with really good food and a friendly, energetic atmosphere. What made my last dinner there extremely disappointing was the service. The waiter was friendly initially, but after we had ordered and had gotten our main dishes, he and his staff made it very clear to us that they wanted to rush us through the meal. We had taken a friend and it was, quite frankly, embarrassing to be treated this way. The moment we put our forks down someone was asking us if we were finished to which we repeatedly said "no". There was no thank you when we left and I truly felt that our waiter was annoyed with us for having what I considered to be a normal amount of time for a meal."

"Great choice of Belgian beers-ask the waiters for what specific taste you're looking for in a beer. They are very accomodating. Diver scallops delish with a lemon caper sauce."

"The food is very good. The seating would be better for three or four than for two. Tables are too small, but I repeat, food is good."

"This truly is a neighborhood gem and if you haven't tried it yet, make a point to do so. We love this place. I had the beer/beef stew, and my husband had the haddock and chips. Great selection of Belgian beer as well."
