Zou Zou’s

​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Brunch Experience! ​We had such a fantastic time at Zou Zou’s for brunch! From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the beautiful decor—the atmosphere is truly incredible and makes for such a lovely setting. ​The food was nothing short of perfection. We ordered the Tower to start, and everything from the presentation to the flavor was spot on. Between our table, we also tried the eggs and the burger, both of which were absolutely delicious. Every single dish we ordered was a winner. ​To top it off, the drinks were excellent. The espresso martini was awesome, and the coffee was top-tier. ​A huge thank you to our server, Jonathan, who was incredibly kind and polite throughout our meal. He really helped make our experience special. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment and will definitely be back!

Five stars all around, genuinely one of the most memorable dining experiences I’ve had. Amazingly delicious food, great service, lively ambience and beautiful decor. You can’t go wrong with anything here. We came here for a birthday brunch and had the best time. Would recommend for special occasions, especially if you happen to be seated at the booths!

Zou Zou was such a great dining experience from start to finish. Everything we ordered was flavorful, well-prepared, and beautifully presented. For appetizers, the dips were delicious and a perfect way to start the meal, the tuna tartare was fresh and light, and the hot kasseri cheese was rich, warm, and incredibly satisfying. For the mains, the grilled half chicken was tender, while the branzino was cooked perfectly and tasted fresh and delicate. The sides were just as impressive — the Brussels sprouts, charred broccoli, crispy latkes, and roasted sweet potatoes were all standout dishes that complemented the meal so well. To drink, the sumac spritz was refreshing and unique, and for dessert, the kataifi cheesecakes and lemon frozen yogurt were the perfect ending — sweet, balanced, and memorable. Zou Zou delivers amazing food, great variety, and a fun upscale atmosphere. Definitely a place I would return to and recommend.

Zou Zou’s is a great spot in Manhattan to catch up with colleagues over really good food. The wild rice side and the latkas were especially delicious, simple but done perfectly. The five dip appetizer is fantastic and worth ordering on its own. A relaxed, easy place to talk, eat well, and enjoy the evening.

Had a really good dinning experience here. We ordered the set menu which is a lot of food for 2 people. As a start, the hummus appetizer platter is delicious, especially refreshing with vegetable sticks The fish was cooked to perfection with light seasoning which enhance the freshness flavor, the steak skewer is amazing too. Don’t miss the dessert! You’ll be wowed :)

The dip platter here is worth a try and makes a nice choice for a date. Each dip tastes good with plenty of variety, so switching between them feels fresh, and the veggies on the side are great for snacking while chatting. The beef skewers were a pleasant surprise, tender and well-cooked, paired with a light, refreshing sauce. The setting is also a highlight, with a cozy atmosphere.

I really liked Zou Zou’s — it’s tucked away just enough to feel peaceful, like a little escape from all the street traffic and chaos, but still close to everything. It’s quiet, calm, and such a nice spot to sit outside and enjoy a good meal. The dip platter was amazing — the bread is warm and fluffy, and every dip has its own thing going on. But that whipped ricotta with apricots? Unreal. Creamy, a little sweet, and seriously addictive. Definitely recommend for a date or brunch with friends — this place hits the perfect balance of fun, flavor, and atmosphere.

For three dishes totaling over $85 after tax, I expected a level of quality and professionalism that was simply not delivered. The tuna tartare clearly had freshness issues. It had a strong fishy smell and taste, and the seasoning did nothing to balance or mask it. Fresh tuna should taste clean and delicate — this did not. The cheese had an obvious burnt smell and a noticeable bitter flavor, likely from being overheated. The appearance was messy and unappetizing, showing little care in preparation and presentation. The sweet potatoes were severely overcooked, falling apart into a mushy paste. There was no real plating effort — sauce was sloppily scattered, and even the sweet potatoes themselves looked low quality and irregular. Overall, the food showed a lack of professionalism and care from the kitchen. Serving dishes like this at this price point is completely unacceptable. I would not return, nor would I recommend this restaurant to others.
