Le Pif

Excellent menu with a lovely atmosphere and wonderful service — I was really impressed with their wine list and will definitely be back soon.

Lovely place. Just opened a few weeks ago: excellent addition to the neighborhood! Really great wine selection by the glass, french wines only! Ask for Uriell for wine recommendation he’s a lovely person.

Le Pif Chelsea 5 stars! Love the wine, menu and attentive and friendly servers. Such a darling place w/​cozy atmosphere. Merci!

A wonderful addition to the Chelsea neighborhood! Delicious assortment of cheese, flat breads, and wine/​bubbles. Try the truffle tremor cheese– trust me. Cozy vibe, good tunes, and not too cramped. Currently doing wine tastings on Thursdays at 6. Lovely staff here, as well!

Lovely atmosphere and amazing service paired with exceptional wine & cheese? — yes, please!!!
Had a great night here indulging with a close friend at the bar. Their section of wine and cheese is extensive while not being cost prohibitive. Michael and Uriel were great — knowledgable about all the offers and a pleasure to chat with.

Don’t come here for the food. I had the onion soup and it was very average, quite a disappointment for a French restaurant. The flatbread was also very average and unfortunately served cold. It was such a sad dinner.

One of the greatest wine bar in Nyc. People are so kind and cozy place! I got prefix menu and loved it. Special wines of day were great. Definitely recommended!

I truly enjoyed going to this wine bar. The place is utterly beautiful! The ambiance was calm, the staff was nice and friendly, and the food was simple yet delicious. They also played music classics in french, which I liked a lot.

Great place in Chelsea.
I came with one of my friend in this new place and was really pleased by the atmosphere of this new French wine bar. The selection of wines by the glass is impressive (around 40). I have been advised to try a Bandol and I have to say that I didn’t regret it. This wine was delicious. And what is better than cheese and charcuterie to go with a good glass of wine?
This place is a gem as well as the staff.
Will be back soon for sure.

Chelsea desperately needed a place like this. The staff was hands down the most welcoming bunch I’ve come across to date. Very professional and very French. I started off with an amazing St. Emillion. After looking through the menu, I ordered the flatbread. The Parisienne is amazing. Then, I moved on to the escargot. Having lived in France, I know good escargot when I taste it. This is the real deal. Although this is my first time here, it definitely won’t be my last.

This is a new place in Chelsea and a great future for them for sure !
This French «bar à vin» is all you need after a big day, you will find the perfect wine for you (so many choices!) and great typical French food.
Staff are cute and so friendly, I’ll be back :)

I only had wine and escargot, otherwise it would be a 5! Very friendly and and attentive service. The wine was happy hour, the escargot was in the shell! Amaze! I will come back for foi gras and tartar. If they keep this up, this place will be a huge success! I loved my experience! Merci!
I felt it wasn’t fair to only give 4 stars! Ha. Not their fault I ate so little! Coming back with a group in two weeks, we will eat whole menu!

Absolutely delightful! I’m a guy from the neighborhood, and let it be known at the outset that I’m not a drinker – so this is a review for the food and the ambiance.
Chef Alex Paya has a seasonal beet soup on the menu which is, well, wonderfully unexpected. The beets were puréed into a perfect consistency, holding the heat, with a hint of cumin rising after each spoonful, and chopped walnuts to garnish. SO enjoyable and at once nothing like my mother’s equally delicious borscht.
The requisite croque monsieur was … let me put it this way: I spent some time many moons ago in the incredible old French town of Beaune. A corner spot on the main square was where I feasted on croque monsieur several times a week. At Le Pif, I started reminiscing about those moments many moons ago. Thoroughly authentic, delicious – I will be coming back for more, for sure! A new neighborhood haunt.
Finally, be sure to say hello to Uriell, the GM, who has a wonderful contagious French energy that has me doubly wanting to come back soon. Boom!
