The Best French Bistro in NYC – Café D'Anvers

Authentic French-Belgian Cuisine in the Heart of New York

The story of Café D’Anvers began with a single, perfect recipe for Belgian chocolate mousse. Originally founded in 2020 as MOJO Mousse Bar by Chef Johan Halsberghe, the concept was built on secret techniques passed down from his grandfather, a local baker in Antwerp. By 2024, this neighborhood sensation evolved into a full-scale French bistro NYC locals adore. Today, we bring the soulful flavors of Belgium and France to 100th Street, blending traditional culinary heritage with the vibrant energy of Manhattan to create a truly unique dining sanctuary.

Why Café D'Anvers is NYC's Favorite French Bistro

We keep things simple and honest. By sourcing genuine ingredients from Belgium and France, we ensure every dish-from our tallow-fried frites to our signature stews-tastes exactly like home.

Our bistro is a cozy sanctuary designed to let the city’s noise fade away. With warm hospitality and Chef Johan’s personal touch, it’s easy to see why we’re considered one of the best french bistros in nyc for an authentic, relaxed meal.
