We had brunch at Bistro Eloise today and it was great. The service was perfect, even though the place was pretty full. I had the Eggs Benedict and my friend had the LaRoulee crepe. Both were delicious and we were completely satisfied. Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I look forward to coming back to see how their dinner entrees are. Totally recommend Eloise for the brunch we had today.

I swear I was on an episode of "No Reservations" when I pulled into the strip mall Bistro Eloise is located in. I didn't know what to expect, but everything my friend raved about this place was spot on. Get ready for some authentic French cuisine and European hospitality. Our server was a ninja in not spilling a drop of our filled to the brim dirty martinis. The filet minion and scallop risotto specials that evening were sublime as was their traditional Ile flouttante dessert. It felt like a childhood birthday party in your mouth - every kind of creamy and crunchy sweetness was present in each bite. The best ending to our experience was the complimentary glass of champagne served with a "thank you for coming." I can see why the locals pack this place every night. I would be right at home nestled in Eloise's cozy atmosphere.

This is a really good French bistro. It represents everything that comes to mind when one is craving French cuisine. The restaurant itself is pretty small, but is extended by an outdoors, covered dining area. The staff is really friendly and the menu includes just about all the most popular French dishes. We ordered the Terrine de fois gras, french onion soup, fries, bouillabaisse, and crepe Suzette. Everything that we ordered tasted good and were well executed. I appreciate that the dishes are made in the classical way and that the cook isn't trying to do some reimagined version of the well known French dishes. We ordered a house red, house white, dirty martini and espresso martini as well and all the drinks were pretty good too.

We've been going here for years and all of the food is delicious! Big ups to the cod in champagne sauce. The staff is very friendly and the ambience is tres chic! Definitely feels like a French bistro. Prices can be on the higher side but everything is worth it. Why they didn't get 5-stars: Service. That is the only problem that I have here is the service is hit or miss. Sometimes it's good but most times it's spotty, depending on how busy they are.

What a hidden gem. Tucked away in an unassuming strip mall in East Elmhurst is probably one of the best French restaurants there is in this part of Queens. Came here during the week for dinner and this place was absolutely packed. We were still able to get a table in the restaurant's covered outdoor expansion that must be left over from COVID. The proper interior of this restaurant was much cozier and decorated, but the food tastes the same no matter where you sit, so whatever. We split a bottle of wine to start, then had foie gras as an appetizer which was excellent. For our mains we both went with the Boeuf Borguignon which was a giant proportion, I ended up taking half of it home. It was melt in your mouth tender and absolutely delicious. Our waitress was French which added to the authenticity and vibes here. If you're craving French food and live nearby, highly recommend.

I've been to Bistro Eloise twice; both times to celebrate my birthday! This may be a start of a new tradition! Bistro Eloise is fantastic. They serve all the classic French dishes that everyone craves. The problem is picking which dishes to order! What a menu! On this visit, 3 of us shared the following dishes: -- Escargot ($12/6pcs): incredibly delicious dish! The snails were perfection and the garlic butter herb sauce is to die for. Don't forget to dip the French bread into the sauce. Don't waste a single drop of the sauce! -- Mussels ($22): This is an entree, but we ordered this as an appetizer. The generous amount of mussels came in a pot; served in a white wine broth, with french fries on the side. Another outstanding dish. Even the French fries were great! We ended up asking to take home the leftover broth since it was so good. Don't waste the broth! -- Duck a L'Orange ($33): The duck breast is cooked to your preference ( rare, med, wed-done, etc). We ordered it medium, and it came out perfectly. It was served in an orange sauce, with garlicky string beans and a buttery mashed potato. The portion size was very generous, and we ate every single bit of it. Just delicious! Great dish and highly recommended. -- Baby Lamb Chops ($35/3 Chops): The lamb Chops are cooked to your preference (we ordered medium), and is served with asparagus and a buttery mashed potato. We were all happy that both of our dishes were served with mashed potatoes because it was THAT good! The lamb chops were very flavorful and tender. Another great dish. -- Lemon and Sugar Crepes ($9): this dessert was minimally sweet, which we liked; light and tasty! (If you like very, very sweet desserts, this dessert may not be for you). -- ile Flottante (floating Island) ($12): I've never had this before and it was a nice surprise! Toasted merengue on top of a delicious sauce. This was another dessert which was not overly sweet, which we loved. Very light, and a perfect way to end our decadent meal. What a fabulous birthday treat! I would return to Bistro Eloise anytime; not just for my birthday! Service and hospitality were wonderful! Restroom was super clean. Plenty of free parking, as this restaurant is located in a small shopping center. The owners of Bistro Eloise also owned Cote Soleil in Sunnyside, Queens, and Chez Olivia in Astoria, Queens. Sadly, both restaurants are now closed. But they also have a restaurant in Manhattan called Le Tout Va Bien, located on 51st St (between 8th/9th Ave).

One of the best French restaurants that I have been to in a while. Wow this was delicious! Excellent service and the staff were so sweet to my baby, giving her bread and suggesting what to order for her to eat. The restaurant is in a shopping center in Jackson Heights, so there is parking. Hard to get to on the subway as it is a good 12-15 min drive from Roosevelt Ave station. Well worth it. My whole family enjoyed the food, French decor; paintings. The French onion soup was melt in your mouth delicious. I ordered the moulles frites and it was incredible. My grandmother had the tastiest duck and my husband's chicken cordon blue was divine. My mother ordered the bouillabaisse, which was also delicious. We ended the meal with lattes, flan, and crepes. Dreaming about this meal I will be running back.

Wow wow wow!!! I had my birthday dinner as a party of 8 with a baby as well. The service from the moment we walked in to the moment we left was superb! Everything I tasted just melted in my mouth and made me so happy! I started with the one course I remembered to take a picture of the shrimp in garlic butter sauce. This was divine. One of the most flavorful mouthfuls I've ever had at a French restaurant. Shrimp cooked perfectly and the sauce is even better. It makes you keep eating the baguette after as the sauce is so addicting on the fresh bread. For my main I had the veal stew. So flavorful with very soft melt in your mouth meat and perfectly cooked veggies. For dessert we had French cheesecake, chocolate mousse and crepes Suzette. All the desserts were delicious .
