Vert Frais

Inspired by both classic Japanese flavors and modern techniques, Vert Frais brings the essence of Japanese comfort and culinary tradition to LIC. This restaurant offers a wide variety of drinks and dishes that reflects a harmonious blend of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary flair. Vert Frais offers popular delicious Japanese dishes such as Omurice, Hamburg Steak, and Souffle Pancake. While my friends and I didn't have the chance to try the Souffle Pancake, we were able to try the Omurice and Hamburg Steak. The Omurice was perfect, a nice blend of flavor between the rice and egg and ketchup. The ketchup added a good depth without overwhelming either the egg or rice. The Hamburg Steak was cooked perfectly, letting the knife cut right through. The demi-glace sauce was also beautiful

I visited this beautiful Japanese-style café for a collaboration and was blown away by the quality, flavors, and aesthetic of everything I tried. It’s the perfect spot for a chic brunch that feels like a mix between a dessert café and a brunch restaurant, depending on how sweet your mornings are! I had three incredible matcha souffle pancakes: • MATCHA SOUFFLÉ PANCAKE with house-made matcha sauce and seasonal fruits — fluffy, balanced, and beautifully plated. • VERT FRAIS MATCHA SOUFFLÉ PANCAKE with white bean paste, heavy cream, and more matcha — this one was so creamy and rich. • MONT BLANC SOUFFLÉ PANCAKE with chestnut purée and sweet white bean paste — the most comforting fall-winter vibe! I also tried their FONDANT AU CHOCOLAT, which is a warm chocolate lava cake paired with vanilla

We had the following Omurice - it was tasty and was a lot of food for one person so you share this for sure. Karaage (not pictured) - very well Seasoned and tasty as well. Katsu Don - great taste and tender meat as well. Matcha pancake - just the perfect amount of sweet. And very fluffy as well

Vert Frais in Long Island City is such a cozy find. It perfectly blends Japanese-inspired flavors with that relaxed New York café feel. I tried the Lavender Latte, Rose Latte, and their signature Vert Frais Matcha Souffle Pancake—light, airy, and full of flavor. The Ramen + Salmon Ikura Bowl was comfort in a bowl, and finishing with both the affogato and matcha affogato was the best decision. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and the space had a calm, welcoming vibe that made me want to stay longer. If you’re looking for a brunch or dessert spot in Long Island City, Vert Frais deserves a spot on your list.

Japanese inspired brunch restaurant with beautiful hanging plants for a romantic yet casual environment. We came for dinner, and enjoyed the katsu don and omurice, which was flavorful and delicious. I don’t recommend quinoa salad, because it tasted bad. The entire restaurant is small, and the tables are quite close together, typical for NYC. The tables are quite
