Loved the vegetarian couscous dish. Perfect for an unexpectedly cool, rainy evening in Brooklyn ~ I'd enjoy it in nicer weather too. The base tastes great. Crème brûlée was Très magnifique :) Staff were helpful and spirited. Appreciated the outdoor seating. I'll be back!

Just had a perfect meal (we had skirt steak, duck salad, risotto) at Le Paddock. Outside patio is lovely, Staff was on point, and the food was done perfectly. If we lived just a few blocks closer this would definitely be our local.

Absolutely delicious. The staff were very friendly and spoke french. Every dish was good, just a little loud in the restaurant.

Wow, last night just seemed to be a perfect evening. Wanted to try a place that was close to my friend's house and ended up finding a gem. We both had worked later than usual, and we both arrived about 8pm. There were a couple of tables available and we took the table on the far end of the restaurant. My friend had a huge and expensive bag and did not want it on the floor nor on the radiator next to us. The 1st person could not find 5 when the owner came over. He grabbed one from the closet without a fuss. He even made a few jokes about it, and I was laughing my head off!! That's how you start a great evening. This place is so cozy and romantic, and the staff is super attentive. It was the right amount of attention we both needed after our long day. Barry was our waiter and had such a good demeanor. He shared the specials of the night, including oysters, for a lower price!!! There was no way I could resist oysters! The other special was Cod and shrimp with a hint of curry on a bed of mashed potatoes. Let me tell you how good this dish was!! Although we shared that main, there was nothing left, and my friend eats very little food. We also indulged in a fried calamari appetizer prior to the Cod dinner. Totally forgot about our drinks!! My friend had the muscadet, crisp and dry, while I had Cardero Maduro brown ale on tap, which was quite nice. The reason why I went 5 in rating was all the above.; good, service and the ambiance! It is certainly a place to revisit. Btw, the bread is so fresh!!!

This is a lovely stop in Brooklyn--a French café with a horse theme and heated outdoor seating area. We went for weekend brunch. The food was fantastic but I had to remove a star for service. Our party of four was seated immediately indoors and within a few minutes, we ordered our drinks and food. I had a fresh, lovely mimosa that wasn't too sweet, and my husband had a Bloody Mary that was spicy and delicious. Usually, I don't like them but this one was enjoyable. My kids ordered fresh mint lemonade that would be wonderful on a summer day. We had to wait about 20 minutes for our drinks. 45 more minutes passed and I asked our waitress when we could get the deviled eggs we ordered for an appetizer. She said she forgot to put them in and that our meals were almost ready, so we never got them. This was disappointing. After almost an hour overall, we finally got our food. I had an omelet with a little too much cheese, but the roasted potatoes it came with were delicious. My husband had Merguez, which was a lamb sausage and lentil dish topped with egg. He enjoyed it but it was a small portion for the price. My daughter ordered quiche but it was bland and mushy, with a soft wet crust. She loved the fries, and my son enjoyed his burger. We noticed that other tables got their food faster, and other tables were served bread. We were not. If we are in Brooklyn again, we will give it another chance since most of the food was good, but I'd rate it a 3.5 due to the service and a couple of issues. They make it very clear that they only accept Cash or AmEx.

Le Paddock is a great gem in Windsor Terrace. The family did brunch one late Sunday morning and overall it was a solid experience at this equestrian themed restaurant. I would 100% recommend you check it out if you're in the neighborhood. Pros: + Delicious burger + Chill outdoor, intimate neighborhood vibes + Friendly service + Exceptional fries. Perfectly crispy + Close to Prospect Park + Great for friends, family brunch Possible Cons: - Amex or Cash only - Burger cooking was a tiny bit off - Rare burger came out too rare and medium was a bit too well done.

Always in search for a French restaurant to take me back to my best memories of Paris cafes and the south of France and this place does not disappoint. We had the Escargot, Deviled Eggs, French Onion Soup, and Arugala Salad with Duck Confit and duck prosciutto. French wines to boot. The food was a bit heavier than you'd expect, but each different enough from American fare to believe you are in fact realizing the French cooking influence, like the onion soup which was less salty and sweeter than pub fare. The service was personal including the prerequisite French speaking owners accent which validated the experience. The place is a neighborhood Joint adding to its charm. Can't wait to go back.

I am in LOVE with this place! I came here for brunch, and I was drawn to Le Paddock because of the cute outdoor seating area. When I went to check out the inside...cute as a button! Very provincial, French bistro esque. Not too fancy or elegant, nor too casual of a joint. A great middle ground. The service was great, they were attentive and friendly and warm. The FOOD! Oh. My. Gosh. How delicious! We shared the quiche and the poached eggs with gravlax. So rich and savory, the pastry crust was tender and buttery, everything was perfectly salted. I have to ask what they put on the potatoes because they were out of this world. I was also pleasantly surprised when the bill came, and it really was very reasonable for a nice brunch meal at a French restaurant! I WILL be coming back, and sharing this spot with visitors from out of town when I want to impress.
