What Our Expert Scouts Say
November 10, 2012
Pastis is Balthazar's Meatpacking cousin, and while it has the same classic brasserie menu as its sister, the vibe and feel is completely different. Where Balthazar is all noise and excitement, Pasis, even when busy (and it gets really busy) is leisurely and low key. A perennial brunch favorite, it's also great for late night dinners.

Tips for Pastis
May 30, 2012
I'd have to say Pastis has some of the
best steak fries in the city.mgood service.
Often crowded. Drinks are pretty decent. They also have pretty good deserts sometimes.

Always a great meal, vibe.
I've been going to Pastis since it opened ... always a great meal and vibe here. The fries are the best in the city.
The only thing that's not great about this place is that there's no room at the bar and it gets uncomfortably crowded with no seating.
Other than that the place is great!

Missed Connection at this place!!! Help!!.
I need your help!!!!!!I was in Manhattan, New York with my daughter on September 2nd. we had dinner at Pastis in the Meat packing District. My daughter and I met the sweetest young man named Michael. Michael was with two friends and he was around 30 years old. Michael is from Philadelphia, has lived Boston and now lives in the upper East side of Manhattan.
My daughter thought he was worth trying...... to find and she is VERY hard to impress!! As a mom I dont want for this chance meeting to be the end either!! If you are Michael OR you know the Michael I am speaking of PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE respond!!
My daughter's name begins with an "E" and if you are Michael you may place her name in the subject line of the email response.
Thanks and if anyone can help me please let me know!!!

Brunch and French Fare In Mnhattan NYC. Okay, you want a fun place to have brunch in the city. This is it -and you can park on the street that is worth more than the meal. Want to think you are in a French Cafe' this is a great spot. Ramos Fizz Oh Ya Baby, Pink Lady you bet. A must go to....

Good but not great.
Went as walk in for brunch. Place was packed as usual but that is expected. We were seated right away in the front "walk in " room. It was freezing everytime the doors opened. Okay now about the food. Love the goodie bread pastry basket. The french toast was nothing spectacular but tasty. My friends had eggs & loved them. The croque madame looked a bit messy for me.
Decent but one goes more for the show than the food.
