About this restaurant

  • Good for business meals
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
Dirty French NY is a bistro experience created by Major Food Group, located in the Ludlow Hotel on Manhattan’s storied Lower East Side. The menu takes its culinary cues from the timeless dishes of classic French tradition and gives them an exciting, “dirty” twist using modern techniques and bold, thrilling flavors. In the same way the dishes “come alive” with flavor, the restaurant itself swells with energy as the hours lead into late night, featuring some of New York’s greatest playlists and a staff equally as vibey.

For any questions regarding an existing or future reservation, please email reservations@dirtyfrench.com

    Terrible customer service and overall service experience. For some reason they have 10pm reservations available on OpenTable but their kitchen closes at 10pm, without any heads up. Then we noticed Google says they close at 10. Once we arrived (quarter to 10), they said we need to submit order immediately because kitchen closed. Manager who assisted was pandering us and almost sarcastic. They rushed us, took forever to bring us water, charged us $10 USD for sparkling without asking if we wanted sparkling on tap or a bottle, after two glasses of sparkling at that price we could have gotten a 12 pack at the Walgreens lol. I honestly would have expected way better from an MFG restaurant. Terrible! Which is unfortunate because the vibe was good, music was good (until they started turning it down and cleaning up around us to rush us to leave). Our server even abandoned our table and never told us he was leaving. Same goes for the manager. They need to do a better job at approaching service. Because this is unacceptable. We spent nearly $400 on a meal we were rushed to consume and barely got a minute to think about what we wanted.

    Love this restaurant! A beautiful atmosphere located inside the Ludlow Hotel. It feels like Paris. The food was incredible. I had the duck a l'orange and it was outstanding. The service was impeccable. Our server, Oliver took very good care of us! Can't wait to go back.

    Great food and service! But the seats are uncomfortable and they play a weird 80’s and 90’s pop music mix. Do we really need Rick Astley to go with splurging on truffles??? Uh…no!

    Service was great. Food was meh. Wine choices were meh. The salad I ordered was smothered in dressing and could barely taste the lettuce. The main courses, chicken and filet of sole, were so drenched in butter, it made the dish taste way too heavy. French fries were soggy and tasteless.
