from Google"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 beautifully made to balance the flavor. I highly recommend ordering a drink from here to. All of their drinks are aesthetically pleasing and definitely photogenic! A note of advice: mix the drink very well! You have to make sure the drink gets fully mixed otherwise it may taste overly sweet. It was like that for the Lavender Lemonade, Berry Bliss, and Blue Moon Latte. All tasted sweet despite the "mixing", but after mixing much more thoroughly, it becomes a nice blend where you can taste all the flavor."
"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 ice cream and berries, an indulgent dream. And not to forget the OMURICE, a savory touch to balance the meal, made with bacon fried rice, mushrooms, and a flavorful demi-glace. Their latte art is next level! I had a Lavender Latte, Rose Matcha Latte, and a Noir Latte. Each one was smooth, aromatic, and heart-topped with love."
"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."
"Got the Matcha Souffle Pancake and the Omurice and both were absolutely delicious!! This place is so aesthetic but small. This place is popular and gets pretty busy on the weekends. There is typically a small line outside the doors on weekends (even before they open), so be prepared to wait a little or get there early. I am definitely visiting again!"
