French Hospitality in the Heart of New York City

Café du Soleil is a classic French restaurant in New York City founded by Alain and Nadine Chevreux, whose roots in Alsace-Lorraine and Paris shaped their lifelong love of food, family, and hospitality. Their vision is simple: to create a warm, welcoming place where authentic French cuisine brings people together.

Alain Chevreux began his New York journey working his way up through the city’s restaurant scene, eventually opening eight successful restaurants across NYC. Today, he brings his experience and passion for traditional French cooking to Café du Soleil, welcoming every guest—from first-time visitors to longtime regulars—like family.

Nadine Chevreux complements this vision through her work in catering and event planning with Voilà Caterers NYC and Vegan Catering NYC. Known for her creativity and personal approach, she helps transform ideas into seamless, memorable experiences.

At Café du Soleil, quality is at the heart of everything we do—from carefully sourced ingredients and thoughtfully prepared dishes to attentive service and a relaxed neighborhood atmosphere. Our goal is to offer an authentic French dining experience you’ll want to return to again and again.

Only the Best for Our Guests

Alain jealously guards the reputation of Café du Soleil by insisting on using only the finest ingredients in every dish. From our chicken and lamb to our 100% grass-fed premium steaks, as well as our garden-fresh vegetables and delightful wine selection, every meal is a celebration of good taste.

 

Equally tasteful is the thoughtful attention of our staff. With a genuine desire to help create a memorable dining experience, everyone at Café du Soleil treats every guest like family. Our decor, our food, and our staff all come together for your enjoyment.
