Elegant yet unassuming, Jean Claude is a welcome change from the Parisian-style boîtes that seem to cover Manhattan like poivre sur le steak. After proudly serving fine French cuisine to patrons in SoHo, the Upper East Side, and Sutton Place for more than twenty years, Jean Claude continues to bring the charm and character of a classic Parisian bistro to New York.

The menu features beloved French classics such as moules frites and mesclun with goat cheese, alongside exceptional entrées de la mer, including roasted codfish. Its vibrant, robust bell-pepper sauce perfectly complements the fish’s delicate, flaky texture, creating a dish that is both refined and comforting.
