Cercle Rouge

Outstanding French Cuisine at Tribeca's Finest Brasserie

  • French Brasserie Downtown
  • Open Non Stop & Late
  • Executive Chef: Pierre Landet

Merging the nostalgia of old Paris with the new sophistication of TriBeCa, Cercle Rouge is certain to please locals and visitors alike. Owner Georges Forgeois updates the classic French Brasserie of the 1950s with a fresh American feel. A favorite of many diners is a unique take on Buffalo wings, with blue cheese whipped in crème fraiche. However, those seeking traditional Parisian fare will not be disappointed by the perfect steak & fries, complemented by their own homemade sauce.

The atmosphere is upscale yet relaxed with a décor enhanced by items obtained at Les Puces in Paris. An extensive wine list features French & American wines. The casual bar in front is perfect for sipping wine and sharing a bite to eat with friends, while the terrace is an ideal spot for people watching as the sun sets over the nearby Hudson.

Editorial Review for Cercle Rouge – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Follies Begere showgirl posters, old Metro signs, and black-and-whites of icons suggest a bohemian Left Bank brasserie, accented by antique mirrors and a large circular red booth. The din is very American, courtesy of the boisterous financial types, whose exuberance echoes off ornately tiled floors. Menu options are along the lines of owner Georges Forgeois' other restaurants, Jules, Bar Tabac and Cafe Noir, mixing traditional brasserie fare like onion soup, foie gras and steak frites with eccentricities like chicken wings and chickpea fritters.

We tried Cercle Rouge when it first opened and were disappointed, but today is a whole different story! We've been back about four times now and each time the food is amazing and the service is great as well. Low key atmosphere and you can sit outside too.

Pros: staff,food

Cons: parking,busy

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

All of the reviews about the gnocchi were totally on point. It is soooo good! They have outdoor seating which is my favorite way to dine, especially when the weather is so nice. We ordered a bottle of wine which outr server helped us choose which was great and not expensive. The place can get pretty busy but we have nver waited long for a table. Will definitely be going back again soon!

Pros: Gnocchi, outdoor seating

Franco-American relations remain rosy on the menu at this retro-sleek brasserie.  See the full editorial review.
