At Cathédrale, that feeling is poured into every detail of the new Le Bistro summer menu: a love letter to the quiet elegance of the French Mediterranean and the effortless charm of a Parisian terrace at dusk. A menu with just the right amount of indulgence, wrapped in the glow of summer.

Seated beneath the stars on the open terrace or inside the breathtaking dining room with its soaring cathedral ceilings and moody, flickering light, the atmosphere is transportive. There’s a sense of grandeur, but it whispers rather than declares with vaulted ceilings that stretch skyward, echoing the quiet drama of an old-world Parisian landmark, balanced by the intimacy of flickering candles and low, murmured conversations. It’s a space that invites you to settle in, stay awhile, and let the evening unfold.

Desserts like Chocolate Mousse a la Cornu and Strawberry Tarte Tropezienne provide a cool, nostalgic finish. ($25-$29) as well as a table-side Ricard Pastis Aperitif ($10) rooted in tradition and ritual.
A few of the standout cuisine offerings we enjoyed are also featured on the seasonal Le Bistro à la carte menu.

Tootles and French Wins Award For USA Today's Best New USA Restaurant 2025

Tootles and French Restaurant and Wine Bar on Ditmars Blvd in Astoria Queens is owned and run by Chad Goldsmith and co-owned with Vanessa Massas, received a prestigious award for “USA Today’s Best New Restaurant In The Country”. This award has been achieved in only one year of opening this establishment with articles in multiple publications, including the New York Post review- “Carefully curated selection of wines that pair with the refined dishes and elegant ambiance serving guests a “sophisticated dining experience.”

Walking into Tootles & French I was greeted by a warm, inviting ambiance. The polished wood accents and glimmering lights creates a sophisticated yet cozy setting . The food features an ever-evolving seasonal menu with inventive fusion style small plates, charcuterie, cheese boards, sandwiches and entrees complimented by wine selections. The bread and most of the desserts & pastas are made in-house with fish and meat carefully sourced. Chad welcomed us with impressive expertise, providing detailed insights as he guided us through the selection of cocktails, sangrias, and specialty spirits. Chad also introduced a range of apéritifs, digestifs, brandies, cognacs, and armagnacs, offering thoughtful pairing suggestions with our food selections, including desserts. The restaurant has a vibrant performance space to enjoy live music and comedy acts after dinner and on the weekends, for an extra layer of fun to the evening.”
