One of the best meals of our lives. Classic bistro French, no gimmicks. It was so good I ordered a second main course and two deserts.

I did not know what to expect but was so pleasantly surprised by this quaint, quiet, superb little bit of the old world. We are just plain, tourist from the mid-west but we were made to feel right at home. Every thing we ordered was delicious. We were not rushed and enjoyed the friendly chat offered by the daughter and owner of this lovely jewel. The evening dinner preset had many options...something for everyone. We were delighted after our wonderful meal with a complementary chocolate mousse from the owner. Three courses plus an additional gift! Just wonderful!

Great little french restaurant with a $20 lunch prefix which includes app, entree and dessert. Owned by an old french guy and his daughter, this restaurant has charm and a true french atmosphere. I feel like i walk into a little place in paris everytime i walk in. The side booths are perfect for both business or casual lunches. I often take people here so tht they can pik whatever they want and feel more comfortable. I highly recommend the Vichyssoise (cold potatoe soup)

I am a frequent visitor to New York from the death valley of food, Tampa. Florida. I have been to the Veau D'Or twice, and both times, I have been favorably impressed with the food, the price, and the service. The vieillard owner and his daughter are both friendly, greeting patrons as if they were guests in their home. The waiters are alert and efficient, but they do not hover. They patiently endured with my college French with good humor and tact. The escargots were beyond compare, and the grenouilles sautees meuniere were outstanding. I will come back for the coq au vin. My companion raved about the escallopines de veau and the filets de sole. I can guarantee that if you want to step back into the sixties and be served with style, grace, and deference, instead of being treated like a sheep being fleeced, this is the French restaurant for you.

Cant ever seem to get in there for dinner, but lunch there often. For $20 you get a 3 course lunch....go for the french country classics and you wont be disappointed. The lunch portions are substantial. Kidneys in mustard sauce and country tripe stew are super, if you like organ meats. Coq au Vin is great and full of real lardons. Deserts are outsourced, but come from a nice french bakery. Ambiance is truly Paris bistro of yesteryear - down to being elbowed in the back of the head by some of the larger females passing in the aisle. I guess yo have to like that kind of stuff. I do!

In the 1990's I used to go to Veau D'Or with one of my partners for lunch. It would take us both back to days spent in Paris before chef's were celebrities, the Iron Chefs make food you really would feed to a cat and "sauces" all foamed or resembled vapor from dry ice. THIS IS THE REAL DEAL. Pate, escargots, leeks vinegrette, roasted chicken in the pot, cold salmon in green mayonaise, frogs legs provencale, oeufs a la neige, etc., etc., etc. The food is French as it used to be in the 1930's; the owner, Robert Treboux is 85 and a jewel, and the simple surroundings take you back to a simpler time that feels very right just about now. The prices, with wine, tax and tip is about $50 a person. Run, don't walk, to experience this gem; truly one of a kind. Amities Gourmandes, ally's dad

Enjoyed many meals, many years ago. The restaurant is a shell of its past. Truly poor food. Kind service. The waiter gently steered us from a dish we he felt to be subpar.
