The menu at Jack’s Wife Freda tells the story of the dishes we know and love from our childhoods in Israel and South Africa, as well as New York’s Jewish food and culture, emphasizing bright, fresh ingredients and beautiful presentation. Our love for our adopted hometown is reflected in everything at Jack’s Wife Freda, from our lively atmosphere, all-day dining hours, effortless ambience and joyful sense of community.

a month agoIf you are visiting New York and you're in Soho searching for an exceptional brunch experience, look no further than Jack's Wife Freda. This American-Mediterranean bistro truly stands out as one of the best brunch spots in the area, offering a delightful fusion of flavors. I highly recommend trying their rosewater waffles, which are simply divine, as well as the grilled halloumi and the Mediterranean breakfast—each dish is a testament to their commitment to quality and creativity. Their cappuccinos and lattes are equally delicious, perfectly complementing the vibrant atmosphere of the restaurant. The lively ambiance, combined with the friendly and attentive staff, makes for a welcoming dining experience. It's also a fantastic place for medium to large groups, ensuring that everyone can enjoy a memorable meal together. With its excellent location and fun vibe, Jack's Wife Freda is a must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in a delicious brunch while in Soho. Don't miss out on this gem!

3 weeks agoTried the Portuguese skirt steak sandwich and I was very satisfied, the garlic butter bread was crunchy and the steak was juicy. Great brunch spot with the option to order breakfast all day. Beware of the line so it’s always better to order beforehand if you want to find a spot inside!

3 weeks agoAfter an amazing time at The Color Factory, we headed to Jack’s Wife Freda for lunch, and it was the perfect choice! My wife ordered the burger with fries, while I went for the steak, and we both absolutely loved our meals. The burger was juicy and flavorful, with perfectly crispy fries on the side—my wife couldn’t stop raving about it! Meanwhile, the steak was cooked to perfection, tender and full of flavor, making it a real standout. We paired our meals with a glass of wine, which added a lovely touch to our lunch. The wine selection was great, and the staff’s recommendation was spot-on, enhancing the flavors of our dishes. The relaxed, friendly atmosphere and attentive service made the experience all the more enjoyable. Jack’s Wife Freda is a fantastic spot to unwind with delicious food, a wonderful vibe, and quality service. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable, laid-back lunch in the city!

2 months agoWOW! Came here on recommendation. Booked a table and were seated immediately the decor was incredible and had such a good vibe! We ordered some cocktails which were great and the had the Halloumi, Zucchini and garlic to start. They were all incredible but the zucchini was stunning! For mains we had the Steak Roll and the Schnitzel, both were amazing and the steak was so tender. Only slight issues was our server seem really busy as she had so many tables. Would come back again, so worth a visit!

3 months agoFrom all the various fun cities I've visited in the US, this is probably the closest to a French patio dining vibe! The food was a combination of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern cuisine! We were fortunate as the weather was very mild in June, which made for very pleasant outdoor dining! They have other locations of this chain, but we simply walked by the other spot and went back to this spot multiple times! The service was very friendly and prompt, and each dish tasted fresh and delicious! I would highly recommend this spot for a drink, meal, or just a nice glass of wine to relax and enjoy NY!
