About this business

Chez Jacqueline, since its opening 23 years ago, has managed to capture the real and true flavors of the Cote d'Azur. Located on Macdougal Street in the West Village, the charming neighborhood bistro owned by Jacqueline Zini, offers simple (direct) sustaining food for which Nice is famed. Whether it's the traditional 'soupe de poissons' served with garlic croutons and rouille or the Daube Nicoise, tender braised beef in a pungent, red wine sauce, Chez Jacqueline's cuisine is as close as one can come to Nice in New York.

Great find! – I went here last night with 10 of my closest girlfriends to celebrate my birthday. We were greeted nicely at the door and a comfortable table was waiting for us near the window. The waiter very helpful with the menu and he made great suggestions...we took alot of small dishes and shared some main courses. Everything was so tasty...must try the grilled calamari (best I ever had!) The owner offered us a complimentary bottle of champagne...nice touch. After dinner we had a few cocktails at the bar and made some ne... read more

Not the best service / OK food – We went to this restaurant for our friend's birthday. It was a Saturday night 9:30 PM reservation. We were THE ONLY TABLE at the restaurant! We were given very little time to look over the menu as we were rushed to order. The food was just OK. The service was not great and when we ordered desert, around 11 PM, we were given dirty looks since the kitchen and the restaurant were closing. Not a great experience. There are many other French cousines that have much better food and service!

Nice, France Cuisine in the Village Please try the fish soup here, it is really delicious, well prepared with the best blending of subtle seasonings. I admit to eating here through many years - they've been in business well over 20 years so you know they are good. Bad restaurants do not last in the Village and this is worth a visit. Always check the blackboard for the day's specials and be sure to choose from this listing. Enjoy!

Not as good as it was – The food used to be a lot better, it seems to have lost it's special appeal. The service could have been less snobbish

Best crème brûlée in NYC – My husband & I went there for dinner Labor Day weekend (Sunday night) . It was very quiet and quaint. The staff was very attentive and friendly. The crème brûlée is the best I've had since my honeymoon four years ago in the French Polynesian island of Bora Bora. I've been searching for crème brûlée as good as what I had in Bora Bora. I last tried it at Balthazar and it disappointed me. Plus Balthazar was way too loud and crowded - the tables were so close together that I could hear the conversation... read more

it was scrumptious – It was quite good i had the hangar steak and pommes frites (french fries) with a peppercorn sauce and grilled calamari as an appteizer.It was good.The creme brulee was really good.The butter that comes with the bread tasted as if they had just made it. however the service kind of sucked there was only one waiter and one busboy!

Good French Food, Decent Service – I dined here on a Saturday night, and was very pleased with the quality of the food. The menu offered a respectable selection, and all of us enjoyed our entrees. The wine list was long, but a bit on the high side. The host was very welcoming, but our waiter was inattentive, slow, and a touch condescending. I will go back, and will hope for a better server.

best authentic afordable french restaurant in NYC – I recently had dinner at chez Jacqueline, the food ambience and service are all excellent, Jacqueline is always a very gracious host. The food is always beyond expectations, if you like duck, cassoulet, sweetbreads or quails to name a few all that in the 20 dollars price range don't think twice, the wine list also has some great burgundies or bordeaux to go with that! BON APETIT!!!
