This is the story of a legendary restaurant that has attracted world figures, intellectuals and artists for centuries. They have been meeting here to discuss the arts, politics and literature over a good meal or a glass of wine, always enjoying service from the same faithful garçons who know each of them by name, and never fail to call them “Monsieur” or “Madame.” A restaurant that remains to this day entrenched in the hearts of locals, is a favorite stop for tourists, and is an absolute must-see destination for lovers of all things wonderful.

After observing the conditions and social currents, it became clear that what this ever growing, dynamic city and its people need­ed most was an authentic place, rooted in traditions, that they could call their own. From these observations, the concept was born. Our vision is of a catalytic restaurant that attracts anyone wishing to spend a wonderful evening sharing a delicious and gracious meal with friends. Here they will enjoy an atmosphere reminiscent of the “Paris d’autrefois,” but with a refreshing touch of modernity and the joy­ful clamor of real French brasseries in the background, spilling their sounds of laughter in the streets and perfuming the air with the aroma of warm cuisine. As their evening progresses, guests can move to the lounge. There they can enjoy a glass of rum while listening to a vibrant piece of Gypsy jazz, savoring the cozy atmosphere with its dimmed lights, which only add to the warmth that the string bass already bring to the room. To complete their experience, they can glide to the Cigar Room where they can sit back and relax while they immerse themselves in a luxurious Cuban blend, rolled in a firm and flavorful cigar. Like the well-known Brasserie Balthazar in NYC, who despite its relatively young age has already established itself as a landmark, appealing to both New Yorkers and tourists alike; the restaurant will become an established destination, rooted in history while devotedly serving a vibrant and lively atmosphere to both its regular customers and new guests.
