La Marchande
Michelin-starred chef brings downtown Manhattan a modernized take on the French brasserie, located at the corner of Water and Wall Street. Of the restaurants on Wall Street, La Marchande nods to the history of the rusticated beaux-arts building that was once the hub of worldwide trade and the site of the original 18th-century stock exchange. With an innovative culinary vision La Marchande creates a lighter fare by embracing vinaigrettes and broths versus the heavier cuisine of traditional French brasseries. Signature dishes, such as "French Onion Dumplings," "Steamed Dover Sole" with vermouth-lime butter, "Lamb Prime Rib," and "Maitake Steak Frites" served with vegan au poivre are modernized with ingredients from around the world, including Southeast Asia. La Marchande also boasts a 100 + French-focused wine list that champions unparalleled and admired bottlings, such as grower Champagnes and library Beaujolais, each concentrating on their unique terroir. A definitive selection of exclusively French vermouths, rarely enjoyed in New York, can also be explored alone or in signature cocktails, including the "Saffrantine," La Marchande's signature martini.
