Been here many times and the crepes never disappoint. They are delicious and very generously sized.

Great food pretty atmosphere. Kids friendly. Too bad years long construction is blocking the water.
I just got here and I'm enjoying a cup of coffee. I like the atmosphere inside the coffee shop, and I can go out. I enjoy the seating there. There's a square right outside the coffee shop, and there are shops like Nike and Lululemon.<br><br>There's a very big window at the side of the coffee shop so you can just go out.
Updated: Really nice to see that this place takes reviews seriously. I have been back a few times since posting this review and it has consistently been great so I updated the review to 5 stars. Thank you!<br><br>Old review: The crêpes here are excellent — especially the savory ones. When they’re made well, they’re truly delicious and full of flavor.<br><br>However, the quality really depends on who is preparing them, and there is a noticeable inconsistency. The young woman (in her 20s) who speaks Spanish consistently makes the best crêpes — they are perfectly cooked, well balanced, and honestly outstanding every time.<br><br>On one occasion, a male staff member prepared my crêpe and the gruyère wasn’t cooked at all. It was completely unmelted, and I unfortunately had to throw it away. That was really disappointing.<br><br>I genuinely think everyone should receive the same level of training, because there is a clear difference in quality depending on who is making the food. With more consistency, this place could easily be excellent every single time.
Misleading hours and poor customer service. Google lists Le District as closing at 10 PM, which is misleading. I arrived at 7:40 PM just trying to buy a cookie. One register had closed at 7:30 PM and the other was closing at 8:00 PM. Although the open register didn’t have cookies set up, they normally ring cookie purchases on both sides, and I could see cookies still available. Despite this, the manager refused to serve me and handled the situation poorly, showing a lack of basic customer service and conflict-resolution skills. If service actually ends earlier, that should be clearly stated to avoid wasting customers’ time.
I went ice skating with my sisters and the kids at the Brookfield ice rink. Afterward, we chose to dine at Le District. The food and service were both great, and the children particularly enjoyed their meals.
My wife and I had Weihenstephan beer and Espresso Martini. My wife enjoyed her martini very much and the beer is the way to go if you like a hefeweizen. We had the Bistro cheddar burgers and my daughter had the rigatoni a la vodka. Everything was very tasty and nicely prepared. Our server was friendly and attentive. The place has a warm and cozy atmosphere that we really enjoyed. They also had a musician playing nice tunes on guitar which added nicely to the ambiance.
we sat outside and it was great!! we went for brunch and got seated right away. everyone loved everything they got: the coffee, french toast, eggs benny and the drinks were all perfect. my only note was that the side of eggs needed salt and pepper, there was none on it but that’s an easy fix. i would definitely recommend!
$6.50 for a coffee, then another $1.50 just for oat milk? What is this, liquid gold? It doesn’t even taste good. I don’t mind paying extra if it’s fair, but charging more for a splash of non-dairy feels like a scam. If I’m already paying luxury prices, the milk shouldn’t come with its own price tag.
Le District is such a beautiful and vibrant food hall! The atmosphere feels like stepping into a little corner of France right in downtown Manhattan. From the fresh pastries and breads to the incredible cheese and charcuterie selections, everything is high-quality and delicious. The food court offers a wide variety—perfect whether you want a quick bite, a coffee, or a sit-down meal with wine.<br><br>The space itself is stunning, clean, and full of energy, with an amazing view by the water at Brookfield Place. Staff were friendly and helpful, and it’s a great spot to bring friends, relax after shopping, or enjoy before heading over to DUMBO. Truly a must-visit in NYC!
This is a really nice spot for al fresco dining along the Hudson River, near Brookfield Place. They serve excellent cocktails (right now, they have a Honey Deuce - vodka, Chambord, lemonade in a US Open glass that's yours to keep!) and a great brunch on the weekends. We had the brioche French toast (cooked to a delicious slightly crispy finish) and eggs Benedict (their homemade Hollandaise sauce is amazing). We were seated quickly outside and out waitress was friendly and very efficient. She checked on us a couple of times during the meal, which is sometimes rare when a place gets busy. The views of the Hudson on a sunny, warm day were the perfect accompaniment to our meal. This was our third visit there, and we will keep coming back!
Must Try🍽️<br><br>Lemon Bucatini ( with mushroom + Asparagus)<br>Caprese Salad<br>Chocolate cake<br><br>All the food was so delicious. The pasta is a must try.<br>This place is in the Brookfield Place mall near WTC ( walking)<br>The dessert was yum too.<br>The servers were kind and the vibe was good.<br>All of these options are vegetarian!!
The food at the district was absolutely delicious, with every dish bursting with flavor. The ambiance was so lovely, warm and inviting, making the whole experience feel special. And that view? Completely astonishing, like something out of a postcard!
Came here because it looked like a nice place to have lunch by the river. I got sat quickly but wasn’t greeted by anyone for almost 10 mins. But once I did my server was very nice. I had a delicious cocktail and ordered an app. I’ve had this type of app before with the battered shrimp in a creamy aioli type of sauce, but I did like the pickled onion component on top but didn’t love the nuts in it. The overall flavor was still good though. The views are nice and I did like their wine selections.
Not bad.<br><br>Overall food was great. I ordered the steak and eggs. Medium rare and over medium. Both were overdone but the eggs were redone to my liking the second time around. Oysters and cocktails were on point. Would definitely revisit. Beautiful setting surrounded by high end retail and yachts!
