Cafe Du Soleil

New York, New York, United States

Cafe Du Soleil at Broadway and 104th St.

Cafe Du Soleil is a french restaurant located in Manhattan's Upper West Side. We visited for an afternoon cappuccino, and were also enticed by their appetizer menu.

Dress

The restaurant felt quite casual, with slightly upscale white table cloths on the tables. In the afternoon, everyone was very casual.

Cost

The afternoon menu had some appetizers, salads, and sandwiches - all were around $10.

Service

We went in and asked if we could take a table outside before sitting. Once we sat down someone came and took our order. Although the place had the feel of a European cafe with street-side tables, it was more like a restaurant.

Reservations

The place wasn't very busy in the middle of the afternoon on a Saturday, but it might be busier in the evenings. They do take reservations on their website.

Items Ordered

Cappuccino

Cappuccino

The cappuccino was really nice. It wasn't bitter and had a nice thick foam on top.

Tomate Montrachet

Tomate Montrachet

This appetizer consisted of one tomato cut into layers and stuffed with a soft goat cheese and pesto. The pesto was very good and flavorful and went really well with the tomato and the cheese. The cheese tasted fairly mild for a goat cheese. The sauce around it was also really good and great for dipping the bread in. (They brought some bread to our table along with our appetizer.)
