Acclaimed chef David Bouley mans the stoves at this temple of haute French gastronomy. Housed in the renovated and impeccably decorated space that was once his more casual bistro, Bouley Bakery, Bouley appeals to an epicurean-minded crowd. The elegant space is packed with well-heeled foodies, fashionistas, political pundits and celebs who understand that a night in Bouley’s care is nothing short of perfection. The service is charming, the seasonal ingredients shine, the French technique is impeccable and the food is nothing short of brilliant.
