Café Un Deux Trois Celebrity Regular Discusses His Favorite Places to Eat!

You might recognize Matthew Broderick from his iconic role in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, but he's also a seasoned Broadway performer. He earned his second Tony Award for his lead role in the 1995 revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and has also starred in hits like The Producers and The Odd Couple. In a chat with Christina Ohly Evans, Broderick mentioned that Café Un Deux Trois is one of his go-to spots with his wife, Sarah Jessica Parker, for a relaxed burger and drink after a show. He even gave a shout out to 30 year Un Deux Trois resident Maitre D', Jose!

Café Un Deux Trois, a historic French brasserie just steps from Times Square, has been serving guests since 1977. Its name translates to "Café One Two Three," and it offers a surprisingly affordable breakfast menu with items like quiche, French toast, granola, omelets, bagels, and crêpes. For lunch and dinner, the restaurant serves up classic French dishes — which Broderick described as "excellent" — such as French onion soup, escargot, chicken cordon bleu, grilled salmon, and cream puffs. Planning to catch a Broadway show? Be sure to check out their pre-theater prix-fixe menu, available starting at 4 p.m.

While you probably wouldn’t want to show up in shorts and a T-shirt, Café Un Deux Trois has a lively and welcoming vibe. From the playful paper placemats and crayons (yes, even adults get to doodle) to the festive Christmas carols sung during dinner in the holiday season, this spot strikes the perfect balance between classic charm and relaxed fun.
