Inspectors have visited La Bonbonniere seven times, with records going back to 2022. The latest inspection on file is from Sep 2, 2025. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe.
The trend has been moving in the right direction: seven violations last time, two this time.
When inspectors have written things up, cold TCS food item held above 41 °F has been the most frequent reason, cited four times.
That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Manhattan restaurants. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
