La Tarte Flambee

This cozy restaurant far exceeded my expectations!
They offer a list of savory flambées and dessert flambées ranging from $ 13 – 16. You can create your own starting at $ 14 (each additional topping is $ 1). I decided to try the ones on the menu since it was my first time.
Kipik Flambée with Beef– Gruyère cheese, tomato sauce, jalapeños, and chunks of beef. It was immensely flavorful and perfectly spicy. I want more! ($ 15)
Chocolate Fraise Flambée– Cinnamon, strawberries, and chocolate drizzle. I asked them to add some whipped cream. I’m glad I did because it would have been a bit plain without it. It was delicious with whipped cream! ($ 14)
Don’t forget to check in for a free glass of Kir Royale (champagne).

When I took a business trip, I could have a chance to see my friend who lives in NYC. I chose this restaurant for our lunch because it’s very close from the hotel I was staying and the reviews were good, and I think I made a good choice.
First of all, the restaurant was not big but cozy, and the food was very reasonable. And I ordered pizza (I think it was a pizza with goat cheese and honey) it was very delicious! I loved it. I ordered regular size but you can order half size. It came with salad. They didn’t have any hot teas so I had lemonade (I think they should have hot teas too!)

Tomato basil flat pizza wasn’t very good — they are just really thin white pizzas. Cheese has this congealed consistency and this weird tangy flavor to it. Maybe I’m just not a fan of this type of pizza?
The place is super cute though and the service was great. Nice intimate ambiance and they are open pretty late. Server went above and beyond to bring tastes of wine to make sure I got a glass I liked.

Best kept secret in the city. Baguette pizza is to die to die for plus outdoor seating is Devine! Do yourself a favor and visit this hidden gem!

Amazing, cute date spot! Get the s’mores flambee

Superbe! This place is a little gem ! Pure happiness for me, my GF, and her Mother ! Tastes as good as in France and prices are really worth it for the size of the flambées ! Our New headquarter. Will definitely be back !

I was invited here for a birthday brunch celebration on Sunday. The restaurant was pretty much empty which was great as we were a party of 12. Reservations were made beforehand. Everyone got the bottomless brunch special which was bottomless mimosa and Bellini with the choice of a Tarte. I had never heard of a Tarte and the waiter explained it to me as, if a pizza and a crêpe had a baby. So it is a really really thin pizza. When I saw it wasn’t too impressed but I was hungry to I pretty dug into mine. I got the grill chicken with basil and added mozzarella cheese. It tasted okay, wasn’t wowed and was still hungry. My friend across from me got the Mediterranean she didn’t seem overly impressed. I think it was difficult for her to get past the smell. The staff was pretty nice and everyone had a really good time. Just don’t think I’m come again if I’m hungry.

The reviews are true. This is quite a hidden gem of midtown.
It was a Thursday when my friend and I were on the hunt for wine happy hour in midtown. For what ever reason, the first 3 places we tried were packed and had hour long waits. Still hopeful, we finally came along La Tarte Falmbee, and just in time for happy hour!
They have a pretty decent happy hour (I believe $ 5 or $ 6 glass). They had a pretty extensive wine list, but only a selected few were actually wines on happy hour, which was kind of a bummer. Still very good. My friend and I then decided to split a flat bread pizza. Honestly, we could have each gotten our own, but it was still the perfect size to split with someone and snack on while sipping wine. Very tasty.
Overall, I think my favorite aspect was the quaint, cozy atmosphere. Their décor was adorable, too. It also wasn’t too busy or too loud, which was a relief since we could actually talk to one another. Made for a good Thursday GNO.

What a cute little hole in the wall place! My husband and I couldn’t decide on dinner for our last night of our honeymoon, and we came across this place on Unilocal.We have never had anything like it!
The place is very small, but they weren’t busy at all. There looked to be three people working in the whole place… the waiter, cook, and dishwasher. The décor in this place is so cool. And it really wasn’t loud in there even with it being a small place. We started with two savory tarte flambes which were delicious. We ended the meal with champagne and a sweet tarte flambé which was amazing. It had cinnamon, crème freche, Oreos, and chocolate! We also got ice cream on the side. Our waiter was also very nice and attentive. We will definitely return here on our next trip!

What a cute little pizza joint!
My friend was craving a pizza and alcoholic beverage after our manis, so we looked up a couple of places on Unilocal in the Murray Hill area. The few that we walked by weren’t exactly up to her standards (aka. didn’t have booze on the menu), so we were quite excited when we finally chanced upon La Tarte Flambee. but also a little worried we were underdressed. However, even though it looks quite fancy on the outside, it is a rather casual little eatery.
We ordered a large green salad and a Provencale flammie to share, which was the perfect amount of food for the two of us. At $ 8, the large salad left much to be desired — it was literally a huge plate of chopped romaine lettuce with a few tomatoes and a side of onions. I was expecting more variety. Oh well.
The Provencale was really tasty and the toppings were quite fresh. The best part? After finishing half of the pizza, I didn’t feel guilty at all! Okay, maybe a little, but definitely not as guilty as I would have felt about eating half of a NY style pizza…
This would be a super cute place to bring a date or to enjoy a solo night out! OR even better, come back for the AYCE option! The staff members were great and very accommodating. :) Check in on Unilocal and get a free Kir Royal (these are $ 11/​pop without a check-​in :OOO)

An absolute gem hidden in midtown! I never had tarte flambee before, and I’m quite sad about that because the one I had was so delicious!
I got the Biquette, which had bacon, onions, goat cheese and honey. I was a little apprehensive since the honey didn’t quite fit in that list, but wow, it was so delicious and left this wonderful sweet after-​taste in my mouth! The combination of flavors really worked well, absolutely delicious.
My boyfriend got the Mediterranean flambee, which has grilled lamb, onions, gruyère cheese and mint sauce — needless to say, it tasted as delicious as it sounds!
I also want to note that I got the $ 25 special for 1 tarte flambée and unlimited mimosas — the mimosas are actually on the strong side because I was quite tipsy after my second glass. Drink at your own risk!
The staff was super nice and pretty on point with the quality of service — one of the servers even offered me a chocolate walnut brownie that she made herself while I was waiting near the bar for my boyfriend! It’s always these little things that really make the experience even better :) I will definitely be coming again!

The Traditionnelle Flambee (Crème fraîche, caramelized onions and crispy bacon.) was pretty damn excellent, and ready upon arrival.

This place is adorable.
Without ever having come here before, we organized an office happy hour here where we had exclusive access to the backyard and our own server.
The backyard was delightful, though a bit hot. There are about 10 tables set up in the back in a quiet, walled off backyard. If you have a decent imagination, you could definitely pretend you’re in a European oasis sitting by your fountain enjoying your wine and finger foods while chatting with friends. Ventilation/​air circulation could be a bit better but it was the hottest friggin’ day of the week when we went. Our bad.
The food was fantastic for the event. They had a variety of sweet and savory French «pizzas» that were brought out over the course of our 2.5 hours there. I’m a savory person but found myself really enjoying the Biquette — bacon, goat cheese, onion and honey. The honey just gives it a little extra oomph. The tarts were light and crunchy and the flavors were spot on.
Drinks-​wise, this place is definitely wine-​centric and had a very nice selection. Even the house wines (I went rosé all the way) were delicious. The beer selection was a bit lacking but they had a couple drafts for the craft-​beer set tucked in there as well.
In terms of service, we had our own server who didn’t passively sit behind his makeshift bar. He EARNED that money — in a very pleasant and helpful way. Aside from having to go back inside to get beer, when he had a spare moment, he walked around to ask people if they wanted a refill. What service!
I had a great experience here and look forward to coming here, possibly for a romantic evening in the garden.
OH! Almost forgot to mention, they have live music every Thursday! When we were there, it was a lovely duet.

Murray Hill and I have a love hate relationship in that I hate how much I love the line of tunnel-​folk filled bars accompanied by the fresh smell of frat-​boy drunken throw up.
It’s rare to find a place in this area that has a bit of character and isn’t solely focused on $ 3 bud light specials. I have walked past this place a number of times, and found myself here a few weeks ago for a casual happy hour girly meet-​up sesh.
We sat outside in the back-​patio area. I’m pretty sure it was ~127 degrees that day, but it didn’t feel so bad out there so that was nice. They have great happy hour specials — $ 5 wine from 4 – 7 PM. They also have a rotating «special of the day». We went on a Tuesday which featured half off a bottle of wine which we of course took full advantage of. I’ll have to be sure to come back on a Wednesday for Ladies Night which features $ 4 champagne.
Their signature dish is shockingly enough the tarte. It’s really just a super thin pizza and comes in an assortment of delightful combinations. For three people, we split two of them. We had a basic one with tomatoes, basil and gruyère which was good but the briquette was awesome. It featured bacon, onions, goat cheese and honey. The dessert ones sounded BOMB but I mean it’s still #summer2015 so I gotta watch out a little bit.
I’ve recommended this place to a ton of people. It’s nice to see a place with charm in the middle of the insanity that is Murray Hill.

I have been here a couple of times now and the service and food have simply been outstanding. This is the kind of place you should bring out of town guests to visit because you will absolutely have a great time.
A few tips:
1. If you’re a wine drinker, go on a Tuesday evening for half-​price bottle of wine night. That’s right — their amazing $ 40 bordeauxs and cotes-​de-​rhones go for only $ 20!
2. Definitely go in good weather and sit outside in the back patio. The yellow walls, hanging flowers, and quiet ambiance will make you feel like you’re dining in Alsace!
3. The manager/​owner was our server one evening and have us tips on how to order… Order one or two Tarte flombees at a time to share with the table. I highly recommend the goat cheese, honey, and bacon Tarte — it is absolutely delish!
4. Make sure you save room for dessert. The apple Tarte Flombee is great and the crème brûlée is perfectly smooth and crispy.
Overall, the service is some of the best I’ve had in Manhattan. We’ve come twice with our baby stroller and they’ve been super accommodating and nice. This place deserves more than 5 stars and we will definitely be back!

I love this charming eatery and menu choices. I had visited their UES location when it had just opened and the owner was the chef, waiter and busser. The outdoor garden out in the back is spacious and on a hot summers day, there is a tarp set up for shade.
I had their french onion soup which was perfection in a bowl. The thick layer of cheese had just the right char and the broth was seasoned well.
The flambees are all good — just depends on your preference for toppings.
Because the flambees are quite light, I would recommend the all-​you-​can-​eat special at $ 25.95 (comes with a beer!). I’m 5’2″ 97lbs and I can eat one tarte flambee ($ 13) to myself. So for anyone with a bigger appetite and can eat 2 flambees, the special would be the way to go.

Simply amazing
The food,
The ambiance
The service
The place
The garden
The prices
The variety
The friendliness
Again simply amazing

I really like La Tarte Flambee. Its definitely one of my new favorite regular places in murray hill.
The garden in the back is a well kept secret (so shhh!).
The Tartes are yummy, and pretty different than the other dining in the area. The ceasar salad is also divine. A few nights a week they offer half price wine, which is exciting as well.
The staff is very French, and very nice!

How cool is that? Outside seating in the back with a cute fountain… On top the ‘Flammkuchen’ flame tartes are super delicious! Try the Munster if you like a bit of a stronger but very very good cheese taste.
Great staff! Great drinks!

La Tarte Flambee, located at the former Sapori Ristorante Italiano, makes good use of the wood-​fired oven. I had been to Sapori once before in the late fall, where we sat in the cozy interior near the oven. This time, the 65 degree weather enabled us — just barely — to sit outside on the lovely, expansive patio. The walls were painted a muted yellow and were lined with flowers and lanterns, which reminded me of somewhere European, but my favorite aspect of the patio was the pretty water fountain at the back.
The European feel makes sense, as tartes flambees are native to the French region of Alsace, so Wikipedia tells me. The traditional tartes are large rectangle-​shaped pizza-​like treats, made with crème fraiche and onions. My boyfriend and I ordered the briquette, which comes with all of those fixings but also boasts bacon (OMG), flower honey (OMG OMG), and goat cheese (OMG OMG OMG). It was delicious.
Our French waitress, who forgot that we were Americans, told us that one tarte was enough for two people. It wasn’t quite enough, so we ordered a dessert tarte: Banana split, made with crème fraiche, bananas, homemade chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream. The menu said it was supposed to have whipped cream but I didn’t see any. The combination of the sweetness and the slightly charred dough reminded me of a s’more. It was pretty good, but the dark chocolate sauce was definitely the most amazing thing about this dish.
The entire staff was SO nice. When we felt a few drops of rain out on the back patio, the staff came around right away and hooked us up with huge umbrellas, which totally solved the problem. And they were just really friendly in general.
The only minor complaint was that the Unilocal check-​in deal was misleading. It said we could get one free tarte traditionnelle upon check in, but only upon actually checking in did we learn that you have to purchase a bottle of wine. Still a pretty good deal, but it should say so upfront.

La Tarte Flambée is a hidden gem. A friend who lives a block away from it told me that he went there for his anniversary with his girlfriend, so I thought I’d check it out after church one Sunday evening when I saw «outdoor seating.» To my surprise, it was practically empty. I was a little hesitant about it when I saw how empty it was and how inexpensive the prices were.
I was stunned when our tarte flambée (forestière with added gruyère) came out — for $ 12, it was huge. Raymond H. and I had ordered a French onion soup as well, and we nearly had a food coma when we finished our food. We were both really impressed with both the soup and the tarte; the soup had the perfect cheese crust and a thin, delicious onion broth underneath, and the tarte had the perfect balance of crust and great ingredients. The tarte comes in 8 pieces, which makes it really shareable. I am definitely coming back with groups.

I had the chance to try lovely French restaurant, La Tarte Flambee the other night with some friends. It’s a perfect place to share a meal because the concept of the tart, a specialty of Alsace, France is a mix between a pizza and crêpe. The tarts are quite large, cut into 9 square pieces and have a thin crispy crust.
We started with savory tarts and ordered 4 of them. My favorite was the grilled lamb with onions, gruyère and mint sauce. The lamb was flavorful and tasted wonderful with the onions and cheese. The mint didn’t have a strong presence on the tart but I didn’t mind that.
We also ordered a tart made with fresh salmon, leeks and onions. The salmon was indeed fresh, as were the vegetables.
Next, we had a vegetarian tart with leeks, tomatoes and peppers, as well as cheese. This was quite good, even with the absence of meat.
Last we picked a tart with bacon, onion and gruyère. It was a bit light on the bacon; it would have been better with more bacon. I also would have liked the bacon to be crispier and a little more flavorful.
After that, we moved on to the sweet tarts. I, of course had to order the strawberry-​chocolate one. It came with crème fraîche, cinnamon, strawberries, and homemade chocolate sauce. I enjoyed very much, but think that there could have been more strawberry – perhaps thicker slices, because the other flavors kind of overpowered the fruit. I did, however love the chocolate sauce (of which they provided extra), which was rich, sweet and delicious! On the tart itself, the chocolate was lightly spr

Update: Ordered the Kipik, Munster, and Knacks.
Kipik — Great! Very light. Not extremely spicy, but a nice hot zing to add to your palette. Probably one of my favorites. Understated and delicious!
Munster — So good for the first two slices. Then it gets unbearably heavy. That melted cheese is way too much for me. Would be a good flambee to share with a party of 4.
Knacks — This is hot dogs on a passable potato salad. Very lack luster. Do not know how this made its way onto the menu.
