"This Greenwich Village restaurant from the Libertine team feels like a two-story time capsule sealed at the peak of luxurious ’80s Manhattan dining, with an indulgent menu of updated French classics so delicious you won’t really mind the size of your bill. Floral calamansi notes light up the duck à l’orange like Christmas lights, while an obscenely buttery piece of sable with dashi-laced beurre blanc achieves the kind of oceanic depth James Cameron builds submersibles to reach. In the more formal upstairs dining room, beyond-freezing house martinis are poured tableside by white-jacketed sommeliers. Downstairs, there’s a bar with a more relaxed menu—we’ll have to go back for their fancy hot dog." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, willa moore, will hartman, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, willa moore, sonal shah, willa moore
"From the team behind Libertine, one of our Best New Restaurants Of 2023, Chateau Royale brings white-tux hospitality and classic French dishes—like duck à l’orange and chicken cordon bleu—to Greenwich Village. There's a separate, more casual bar menu, but we're most excited to drink in the dining room, where all cocktails are served via tableside cart." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, bryan kim
"From Cody Pruitt of West Village French bistro Libertine, this townhouse project is an homage to the city’s grand-but-gone iconic restaurants like La Grenouille, with a ground-floor bar in green tones and a second-floor 50-seat dining room. The menu leans French classic: think escargots à la Bourguignonne and sea bass with caviar, paired with an all‑French wine list and tableside cocktails—an intentional nod to old-school grand dining." - Melissa McCart
"La Grenouille is gone from this world. Chateau Royale, from the owner of Libertine, would like to pay its respects. In bi-level space in a Greenwich Village townhouse, the restaurant will be a love letter to New York's classic French restaurants, with an all-French wine list and a tableside cocktail program. On the ground floor, there will be a bar inspired by European greats like Kronenhalle in Zurich and Harry’s New York Bar in Paris. Above, you'll find a 50-seat dining room with velvet banquettes." - bryan kim
