Opening 7 Days for Dinner and Sunday Brunch - Starting September 24th

Chef Aless had been cooking French food in NYC at Mon Petit Cafe, her NYC family owned business until 2017. She then opened a successful catering company that's still going strong. She joined forces with her husband Justin a successful NYC restauranteur to create Brasserie.
Signature dishes are "Parisian" specialties such as Steak au Poivre, coq au vin and seafood towers. The couple also serves "American" fare with a French twist like the bistro burger and other amazing treats like mussels and fries.

Chef Aless was featured on Food Networks Chopped!! Google the "snails episode"

The restaurant vibe and decor is a replica of both Parisian and NYC French brasseries. The hospitality is both inviting and professional.

The food is simply perfection as Chef grew up on her grandparents vineyard in France and French food comes naturally.

    We had a delicious dinner at this quiet little gem in Massapequa. Appetizer - Escargot was seasoned to perfection. Dinner - Chicken Cordon Bleu, Beef Borganion, Trout Almondine, all had a beautiful presentation & were so tasty. Staff were so accommodating and friendly. Chef Aless even came to our table. It was a wonderful birthday celebration for my sister. We will be going back.

    Brasserie is perfect restaurant if you want to dine out and hear the people you are with. Lots of restaurants now have “city loudness “ where conversation is impossible. Not Brasserie, and please Bradserie do not change. I forgot to mention, the food is excellent.

    The coq au vin was a treat! Hope this restaurant is around for a very long time! Shout out to Patrick who is always fun and cheerful and attentive to patrons. Co-owner and maître d' Justin is welcoming and solicitous. Last but most important is Chef Aless whose menu and skill is so appreciated. Lucky to have this quality French dining experience in little old Massapequa!

    We recently sat at the bar with a very charismatic bartender (Dylan, I believe it was ) and enjoyed a very good meal. We started with tuna tartar, which was excellent-fresh and a very generous portion. We followed it up with moules marinieres, which was also a generous portion and quite good. We then had a very good hanger steak with french fries (excellent fries!). We split all three dishes and were quite happy with the portions. Having once worked in a French bistro in NYC, I was pleasantly surprised and pleased that we now have a very good French restaurant on the south shore of LI! We will definitely be back!
