Most come here for drinks, I come here for food. It's just always on point. Tuna Nicoise is a must have. And I'm obsessed with their artichoke - having it here sent me on a journey for the best artichoke dish in Manhattan. So far no competition. It's so simple yet so right. Can't go wrong with falafel, ricotta, Bibb lettuce, beef tartare and FRENCH FRIES here. I'm a fan of their curry mussels too. But beware! It's messy splatter prone so if you're dressed up, it's a danger zone. Always appreciate a place that has a wide variety of non alcoholic drinks too! Le Dive reigns in all categories beside table availability. That's a rough one. But be nice and patient and they'll squeeze you in.

I mean anyone that's a downtown girlie loves Le Dive. A Dime's Square staple. Great vibes always. Great espresso martinis, it's the perfect "let's grab a drink" spot. I went to an event in the downstairs space, great vibes, you really feel like you're in Paris at a French speakeasy. The team is also great, they're always busy but that doesn't affect the customer service in any way.

My visit to Le Dive was a delightful escape, perfectly timed with the idyllic weather that set the stage for a memorable dining experience. Savoring their creamy ricotta paired with crisp white wine under the warm sun created an inviting and relaxed ambiance. Curious to explore more, I tried their artichokes, and they surpassed all expectations--each bite was a harmonious blend of flavors that danced on the palate. The combination of exquisite dishes and the charming atmosphere left a lasting impression. Whether you're seeking a leisurely meal or a spot to unwind with friends, Le Dive offers a perfect blend of ambiance, exceptional food, and a welcoming vibe. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to discover more of their enticing menu.

Esoteric wines and lively ambiance. The experience is great when weather is warm. I enjoyed the honey ricotta + bread.

Paris meets LES. Do you feel like you're in the European café as you people watch and face the street. The best food we ate was the steak, french fries, clams. Drinks were overpriced but you go to be seen and people watch. Great place for smaller groups 2-4. Would go back for the summer

Loved this place. Been meaning to go for a while. Went on a Friday night, and the place was pretty buzzy around 10:30. I've been to some of the other locations by the restauranteur, and this one was the best. Very good house mezcal Negronis Will definitely be back

Stopped in for a round of drinks. Le Dive is a charming bar. The space is so cozy and chic, you'll be tempted to stick around for a while. I really enjoyed the marg, it was a nice blend of spicy and Smokey. Would have liked to explore more of the menu if we had more time!

Came by with some friends on a busy Thursday night, thankfully we had a reservation so we sat right away. We ended up staying awhile so we saw the bar go from the after work crowd to the getting ready to go to the club in the basement crowd (& yes there is really a small dance club in the basement). The food here is served tapas style so we ordered a few dishes for the table. Started with a frontage & charcuterie (these are separate & the charcuterie is actually just meat. The meat plate came out pretty full & the frontage plate or cheese seemed lacking in comparison but we were three girls hanging out so it wasn't the end of the world. We also ordered a stuff mushroom & a steak frites for the table. Both of these are must orders! Very good, the steak was cooked perfectly & the sauce from the stuffed mushrooms were to die for. We soaked up the rest with our fries & leftover bread from the cheese plate. Drinks are a little pricy without the matching heavier pour but overall we had a good time. The busier it gets the less we saw of our server but that makes sense because at one point the bar was three people deep & it's not a big enough spot to move around easily.
