Patisserie Des Ambassades

This bustling yet laid-back café in Harlem turns out solid food from all corners of the globe, but the primary point of influence is Senegal. Standouts on the extensive menu include fish patties and a braised lamb shank; a morning selection of pastries and standout coffee is also a consistent draw. The restaurant's relaxed atmosphere and pacing matches its global smorgasbord-by-way-of-Upper-Manhattan menu.
