Salon Vert

When does one go for lunch and ask only about the salad dressing? I did at Salon Vert. Last Friday, I went to Printemps. Hungry after window shopping, I decided to have something to eat. Located on the second floor this foliage pretty eating area is lovely. It has a bar area and comfortable seating. The menu had many tempting options so it was hard to narrow it down to just a quiche. The spinach and cheese quiche was accompanied by a side salad. The quiche was fairly small and tasted fine. The dressing of the salad was magical. Each bite of the salad sparkled with joy. I asked Karla and was told that there was a shallot confit in the dressing. Nick told me that if I preferred just the salad it would have the same dressing along with hazelnuts. Now that sounds rich! Service was efficient. The plates were pretty and sitting here was relaxing.

Salon Vert is a hidden gem in FiDi. Enjoying a nice drink and a bite after shopping has never been easier. It is very beautifully and thoughtfully designed - from the glasses and the cutlery to the chairs and the tables. The chocolate cake was delicious and the cocktails were had were very good as well. Will definitely enjoy a drink again next time we are in the store.

A lovely spot tucked inside Printemps — chic, relaxed, and perfect for an afternoon catch-up with friends. The cocktails are well done. I especially enjoyed the cauliflower (roasted, beautifully seasoned) and the shrimp cocktail. It’s casual but with just the right touch of elegance. Great pause between shopping or as a light early dinner destination.

Tucked away in the back of the new Printemps store, Salon Vert is a cute place to grab some small bites and a drink or two with a friend. Menu wise, it’s pretty limited and seafood forward, so make sure to check in advance to see if there are any dishes that catch your eye. However, the dishes on their menu are definitely delicious, and beautifully presented. My friend and I shared some focaccia and small bites. The shrimp cocktail stood out, having come out with an interesting take on a classic. There were toppings piled onto the shrimp that gave it a fuller taste. The oysters are also nice and fresh! I had also ordered the pineau cobbler cocktail, which was fruity and tasty! It was on the sweeter side, which was what I wanted. All in all, Salon Vert is definitely worth a visit! Just know that you would be grabbing a small bite rather than a full meal there. Feast your eyes on the stunning decor instead!

What a perfect little lunch spot. Gorgeous space and light, fresh, flavorful bites. I enjoyed it a lot. Service was wonderful. They anticipate your exact needs. Highlights were the cauliflower and shrimp.

Dining at Salon Vert in Printemps was like stepping into a dream of old-world luxury and refined indulgence. From the moment we sat down, we were swept away by not just the beauty of the space, but by the impeccable service—especially from Evan, the bartender and our guide for the afternoon meal. Evan delivered extraordinary hospitality, with a depth of knowledge and charm that elevated every course. He seemed to know the menu like he had written it himself—offering expert pairings and thoughtful recommendations that made the entire experience feel curated just for us. The highlight? A glass of champagne crafted exclusively for Printemps, named in honor of the owner’s wife. That kind of storytelling, that attention to detail, made the experience unforgettable. Each bite was pure decadence—classic flavors with modern elegance. Salon Vert is a must for anyone seeking a refined, transportive culinary experience. Bravo.

Simply outstanding. The portions are not large, but the food is very delicious - every bite. The service is outstanding and professional. The waiter went out of his way to answer our questions. The atmosphere was beautiful. An excellent place.

The place and the shop are amazing, the drinks and the atmosphere are very welcoming, but the food is not good. I had shrimp and lentil soup to start, which was okay, but the focaccia was hard, like reheated bread, and the sandwich I ordered had a chewy, cold baguette; it tasted like airplane food, that you eat it because you are hungry very bad and not recommended.

To fully experience the amazing Printemps store on Wall Street, have lunch at Salon Vert. There's a large bar with comfortable seating, but opt for an even cushier table if you can get one. We were there for the lobster roll, but after noticing the size on a neighbor's plate, I insisted we plump for the $75 four course prix fixe, which, surprisingly, is a great value. I began with the house 50-50 martini, served straight up with an olive. This was well made and balanced, it's delay in arrival being the only blemish on otherwise excellent service. First course is a combination 6 piece cold seafood platter. We each get two cold, briny Wellfleet oysters, two topped shrimp, crisp and fresh, two bites of crab remoulade nestled in lettuce. All sparkling and delicious. Next up was a curried squash soup with a honey maple butter. This soup managed to be rich and a bit spicy, sweet and hot. It proved a little too spicy for La Portena, and our sever graciously brought some plantain chips to cool her down. Followed by the delicate lobster roll. It's fresh and delicious as well, with a light mayonnaise. But it's small and if you were paying the $42 a la carte price you might be bummed. But it comes with a nice dollop of Russian potato salad with cubed carrots and peas, and is perfectly portioned for a prix fixe, All good things must end and our prix fixe ends with a light sorbet in an ethereal granite. Perfect.

A friend suggested coming here, which can be tricky to find if it's your first time. It's located inside the department store Printemps and up the escalators around the corner. First of all, the space is stunning. The bar, table, decor and everything looks expensive and exquisite. I mean, they do serve caviar on the menu afterall, enough said. With that, the menu also consists of pricey items. We decided to pass on the food and just have a cocktail. I had the Pineau Cobbler ($20) while my friend got the Hugo Spritz ($19). The cocktail wasn't really to my liking and I noticed I didn't get a strawberry garnish. It's still quite aesthetic, but that's all that this place is. It's pretty and pricey. Also, being located in FiDi, which isn't an area I find myself often.

Dog friendly restaurant inside the shopping center. Enjoyed a cocktail and a chicken sandwich. Excellent service!

Bar and raw bar within the new Printemps department store in FiDi. I was meeting someone who works for a company named after the Baron Haussmann, so this seemed like a fitting location to meet. The bar is quite literally within the middle of the store, which was unique and fun. We shared some light crudités and the roasted cauliflower, which was served with a chutney that I found rather pungent.

Little bar in the middle of Printemps. The menu is not big, and could use more vegetarian and vegan friendly options. The cocktail I had - Lucy in Diamonds was very good! I also had the sweet potato soup which was nice. This isn't a full service restaurant so I would not come here too hungry. This is nice for a light bite and a drink with a friend. The servers were all extremely nice. I adore the decor and the way the tables are set up. It's a cute little spot for a quick meet up.

I was skeptical to be dining basically at a shopping mall but the food here was superb. This is not surprising given the hospitality group behind Crown Shy & Saga is also managing their food. Oysters are flown in every morning, ones I had were plump and flavorful. The prawns were hearty but also incredible. I've heard folks kinda mumble on how small the portions are for the price including the drinks but I can assure you these are small but mighty. I do appreciate a place that optimizes for quality over quantity. Great opportunity to ogle at wonderful goods and shopping experience adjacent. Everything is clearly well thought out down to the remarkable Sabre Paris utensils (are these goods available on site, dites-moi?!?). Two reasons it's not 5 for me 1. I found the space to be ridiculously bright. It's a contrast to the moody Red Room and maybe it's just not most suitable for cocktail hour. 2. While the staff especially Evan & Esteban were so gracious and didn't at all rush us, I wonder why the space closes at 7. Again with the kind of wonderful offering it feels too cut off and more cafe hours.

I had the most unexpectedly amazing lunch inside the lovely Printemp department store. It's a destination for wonderful lunch, that just happens to be inside a department store. I would come here just to have lunch.

Sat at the bar and indulged in a few food items plus champagne followed by rose. The ouefs mayonnaise were so good and the dressing on the salad was also delightful. Great way to spend a day catching up with friends and people watching.

Stop by for drinks and bite checking out the new department store in downtown. Shrimp Cocktails were good and fresh, given the small prep space I thought it was very impressive. Cocktails took a while but probably coz it's quite new. Smart way to attract people while shopping!

The food was very flavorful! So much so that it was almost like having a tasting menu quality appetizer from a Michelin rated restaurant. The service was extremely attentive and friendly. They made suggestions that were perfect. I love the way the restaurant corner looks inside. The entire building is a work of art. It seems to be its own art installation of its own inside Primtemps!

Ambience? Yes. Friendly Host? Yes. Excellent Bartender? Yes. Food presents well & tastes good? Yes.

Fine dining level of service amidst a fancy clothing store. I was so excited to try the menu from Gregory Gourdet and was not disappointed. We had the shrimp cocktail and salad, simplistic but done well. I could drink the salad dressing it was so delicious. My husband ended the meal with coffee and was impressed by the smooth flavor. I tried a juice which was amazing- light and refreshing. I also ended the meal with a hot tea that was really good. Gregory also made an appearance as we were leaving so he definitely is very involved with the restaurant. Definitely try it if you are in the area.

(optional) Food and service were sub par given the prices. Couldn't even taste the crab for the over-seasoning, and there were no real dessert choices. Sorbet or chocolate bar? Not a brownie, a $17 chocolate bar. No bread or crackers available and the suggested focaccia looked like a meal in itself.
