Classic French cooking in Oyster Bay.
L’Étoile sits at 108 South Street, in the historic Snouder's Building. Escargots, steak frites, sole meunière, and a wine list a sommelier put together. Open Tuesday through Sunday for dinner, candlelit by six.
What the village comes for.
Real French cooking
Escargots in garlic butter, sole meunière, steak frites with a proper bordelaise. Not bistro pastiche.
A list a sommelier built
Around two hundred bottles, French-led — Champagne, Bourgogne, Bordeaux, Loire, Rhône, Alsace — with a few from elsewhere when they earn it.
Walking distance from the village
From Theodore Roosevelt Park or the harbor we are a five-minute walk. An apéritif at the bar before, a digestif after.
Candlelit, every night
By six the marble bar is candlelit; by eight the room is. We do not do brunch: dinner is the format, with a happy hour menu of bar plates and $8 glasses for the early part of the evening.
On South Street.
In the historic Snouder’s Building, two blocks from Theodore Roosevelt Park. Street parking on South Street; the municipal lot is one block east.
