Comforting, savory fare at this Tribeca installment of the Belgian chain. – The Scene It's easy to forget you're in Tribeca in this charming, countrified space, dominated by a dark wood bar and booths.

A little break from the city – Petite Abeille is a truly friendly neighborhood spot that always makes us feel at home. The service is always sincere and the ambiance is super non-protentious. All the dishes especially the chicken pot pie and fish stew are delicious adn the mussels are the freshest I've had in the city-ever!!! They also have a great selection of international beers to go with your dish.
