Balthazar

Balthazar
This boisterous but charming bistro in the middle of Soho is a perfect place to go while shopping or sightseeing in the area. You and your guests will enjoy a genuine taste of Paris with delectable French specialties like Salad Niçoise, Eggs Benedict and Beef Stroganoff. Service can be a little hurried, especially when it gets crowded, but if you go at an off-time, Balthazar provides an unbeatable dining experience. Who to bring: Your mom and aunt on a girls’ night out or during a day of shopping—they’ll love the energetic ambience and Parisian feel.
