Frenchette

About this venue

When Frenchette first opened in New York City’s Tribeca neighborhood in 2018, it struck like a bolt of lightning. Not only was it hotly anticipated — the chefs behind it are the culinary dream team of Lee Hanson and Riad Nasr, who helped put Balthazar and Minetta Tavern on the map — it lived up to the hype and exceeded all expectations. Hanson & Nasr’s menu of masterfully prepared modern and traditional French bistro fare is unlike any other in NYC, and it remains one of the city’s hottest restaurants and toughest reservations. Frenchette has received heaps of praise from the New York Times, New York Magazine, and just about every other reviewer who’s dined there, and it was crowned 2019’s Best New Restaurant in America by the James Beard Foundation. Even though the carefully-sourced ingredients change with the seasons, menu items including spectacular, crisp-skinned duck frites with béarnaise and Lyon-inspired pâté de campagne have become instant classics.
