Chic West Village bistro w/ French-inspired bites. Think pierogi, sweetbreads, & house martinis in a dim, intimate setting. Great for dates or drinks.
Bryan Kim reviews Fedora, a West Village spot with a chic, impractical vibe, serving French-inspired dishes like pierogi and sweetbreads, perfect for dates or drinks.
Fedora, a West Village spot, offers a chic yet impractical dining experience with a French-leaning menu. While appetizers like pierogi and sweetbreads are highlights, some main courses can be underwhelming. The intimate, dimly lit atmosphere makes it suitable for dates or drinks, but perhaps not for a substantial meal.
Fedora's menu features French-inspired dishes with some American influences. Standout appetizers include highly-praised pierogi and tender sweetbreads. While some main courses like Chicken Cordon Bleu are recommended, others, such as the Roasted Culotte Of Beef, have been noted as disappointing. The restaurant is considered more of a place for snacking and drinks rather than a hearty meal.
"The pierogi with lemon-butter sauce and the sweetbreads are highly recommended appetizers. The Chicken Cordon Bleu is also a good choice for a filling meal. For dessert, the carrot cake is anticipated."
Customers generally have a positive view of Fedora, appreciating its unique atmosphere and some of its dishes, though opinions on main courses vary.
Important Note
Some main courses can be skimpy and not worth ordering. The atmosphere is intimate, which might feel cramped to some, and the room is very dark.
