In the style of a private Parisian apartment, L’Appart in New York offers an intimate dining experience with innovative French cuisine.
Fine dining experiences are meant to be personable, intriguing, and memorable. While the days of over crowded restaurants are currently a thing of the past, L’Appart has been ahead of the curve, thoughtfully curating intimate dining experiences in the 28-seat restaurant. To visit L’Appart you will first enter through Le District, NYC’s premier French market and food hall in Brookfield Place. Here you will find the main entrance to the restaurant discretely place amongst a wall of jarred goods, marked by leather doors and the restaurant’s 2020 Michelin plaque. Designed to emulate a private Parisian apartment, L’Appart transports you directly into the chef’s world. A completely open kitchen places you up-close and personal with the talented Chef Nicolas Abello, whom is all the bit charming as he is talented at the art of cuisine. Getting to know your guests and dining preferences, Chef Nico can curate a personalized tasting menu to satisfy any palate.
In true French fashion, caviar service is offered to start off the dining experience with homemade blinis and carefully thought-out garnishings. Crème fraîche is livened up with capers and dill, while hibiscus pickled red onions add another level of flavor to the delicacy dish. In between each tasting of caviar, watermelon soaked with vodka and lemon will refresh your palate allowing you to savor every bite. Adding to the French themed tasting menu in worldly fashion, the Foie Gras Terrine and Chestnut appetizers brings together trans continental ingredients. Hudson Valley foie gras pan seared terrine is topped with Castelnau de Suduiraut Sauternes jelly and Timut peppercorn from Nepal. Ontario roasted Maitake mushroom with meat jus and shallots are suspended in a chestnut truffle butter veloute with croutons and hazelnut from Alba Italy, shaved burgundy truffle. More than only food, each dish is artfully plated and intended to be thoroughly enjoyed in the intimate setting.
Through a combination of first-class service, intricate dishes, and personal attention to detail, L’Appart is one of the few restaurants in New York that maintains such a high level of operation, receiving a Michelin Star for the fourth year in a row.
