User Comments about Anjou
"Have eaten at Anjou several times and have found the food, service and ambiance to be consistently excellent. Gil Simon"

"A real find just off Union Square. Do not be deceived by the alley. Once you step inside your in a true bistro. The cozy bar with appropriate French posters is inviting, while you look in on the semi exposed kitchen and dining area. The food is very well prepared and presented, and the wine selection is acceptable and within reason. Overall a great evening. Highly recommend the duck confit. Also the frites are to die for. "

There are several bistro like restaurants in the downtown Union Square area. All are OK , some are excellent. Anjou is the best of all worlds because it is not so expensive, the food is perfectly prepared, the feeling is very French, the menu is not narrow (when do you see liver these days) and the staff seem very happy you joined them.
