What people say about Russ & Daughters Cafe

Customers have positive things to say about the smoked salmon, bagels, herring, latkes, caviar, and an opportunity to eat while seated with foods linked to the old appetizing shop. The retro room and the menu for breakfast make the cafe unique to the Lower East Side. The long waiting times are the most frequent complaints, as the cafe does not accept reservations, and some diners see the small room overcrowded on the weekend brunch time.

Restaurant overview

About Russ & Daughters Cafe

Russ & Daughters Cafe at 127 Orchard Street brings the appetizing tradition of the shop to a seated eating experience.

Smoked fish, roe, herring, bagels, eggs, latkes, and East European Jewish comfort food make the bulk of the menu.

The restaurant is particularly convenient for breakfast, brunch, or even lunch when customers are looking for a traditional New York eating experience without the need for a full table service. Open-faced sandwiches and boards help emphasize the quality of the fish.

The walk-ins-only policy makes Russ & Daughters Cafe not have an official website for reservations.
