Le Veau d'Or : Restaurant français emblématique à New York
Le Veau d'Or, ouvert depuis 1937, est une institution du quartier de la 60th Street à New York. Fondé par des passionnés de cuisine française, il a su traverser les décennies tout en conservant son charme d'antan. Récemment repris par les chefs Lee Hanson et Riad Nasr, connus pour leurs établissements comme Frenchette, ce restaurant continue de faire rayonner la gastronomie française dans la ville qui ne dort jamais.
Ce restaurant français se distingue par ses spécialités traditionnelles, telles que le canard magret aux cerises, les escargots, ou encore la soupe de melon. Son menu fixe à 125 dollars propose des plats classiques, revisités avec soin, dans un décor rétro qui évoque l'élégance d'une autre époque. Le bar, également ouvert à la dégustation, offre une ambiance conviviale et raffinée, idéale pour un moment entre amis ou en famille.
L'ambiance du Veau d'Or transporte ses convives dans un univers chaleureux et authentique. Son décor, avec ses panneaux en bois, ses tables à carreaux et ses éléments vintage, crée une atmosphère intime et conviviale. La salle, petite mais vibrante, est souvent animée par la présence de clients fidèles, amoureux de la cuisine française et de l'esprit bistro. C'est un lieu où l'on se sent comme chez soi, dans un cadre chargé d'histoire et de convivialité.

"Renaissance d’une institution française par l’équipe de Frenchette. La salle au charme vintage propose dix entrées, dix plats et cinq desserts, parmi lesquels grenouilles persillées, maquereau au vin blanc et tête de veau en sauce ravigote. Ile flottante ou fraises au sabayon clôturent un voyage hors du temps, parfait pour les amateurs d’abats et de conversation."

"5th on The Infatuation Top 25 2025 Eater’s Best NYC Restaurants 2025 Grub Street Best New Restaurant 2024 Chefs & Co-Owners: Lee Hanson & Riad Nasr (James Beard Best Restaurateurs 2025) This East 60th Street bistro was founded in 1937, and is—after a five-year revamp from the Frenchette people—way more fun than that makes it sound. This place always had the trappings of a special, two-bottle night out: low ceilings, quirky paintings (a sleeping calf, the previous owner’s yacht), and a booth that was once frequented by Orson Welles. Now, it also has the food. You’ll have a lot of tough decisions to make between things like a rich tête de veau with sauce ravigote, flaky pâté en croûte, and perfectly seared duck magret with boozy cherries. You can’t really go wrong, though you’ll appreciate your server’s friendly assistance with the menu and the extensive wine list. Le Veau d’Or is the first place we’d recommend for an extra-special, extra splashy date night—or even better, a double-date, so you can try more things. Always end your night with the textbook île flottante."

"Chefs Lee Hanson and Riad Nasr had their eye on this French icon, open since 1937, even before they opened Frenchette in 2018. Twelve years after first contacting the original owner, the restaurant has reopened with the duo at the helm, mostly intact, with subtle changes. The prix fixe menu holds at $125 per person, with classic French dishes, an enthralling retro dining room, and terrific people watching. The bar is also open for dining."

"In November, some punk chivied off the decades-old brass plaque that announced Le Veau d’Or to passersby. As crimes against heritage go, this is roughly akin to spitting on the Eiffel Tower. But it’s a sign of current caretakers Lee Hanson and Riad Nasr’s good grace that the restaurant was as horrified as anyone else. Their revival of this New York institution could have been a bottom-up redesign, but it wasn’t — it’s a loving conservation, from the room to the menu, ensuring that the restaurant feels recognizably like a version of what it was, not least because of the old regulars who still claim their seats at the tiny bar or cram into a booth for duck with cherries and buttery frogs’ legs. If the plaque never returns, cast one of those legs in its stead. 129 E. 60th St., nr. Lexington Ave.; lvdnyc.com (https://www.grubstreet.com/article/best-new-restaurants-nyc-2024.html)"

"From the moment you enter its intimate, low-slung dining room, Le Veau d’Or can feel like stepping back in time. This second-coming of a near-century-old French restaurant — once a hangout for luminaries like Truman Capote and Orson Welles — arrived in July, courtesy of the chefs Lee Hanson and Riad Nasr, who run the popular neo-bistros Le Rock and Frenchette. They have restored the wood panels, the checked tablecloths and the old-school dishes like tripes à la mode. The food is nostalgic and precise. There’s a scene-stealing duck with crisp skin and a flush of cherry jam, and the île flottante is a perky, not-too-sweet swirl of meringue that’s as light as cotton candy. This is old New York with some splashes of downtown energy. [NYT New York’s 14 Best New Restaurants of 2024]"

"Best new 2025 Lord knows resurrection is a neat trick, but it’s hard to pull off. Had it not been for the capable hands of bistro whisperers Lee Hanson and Riad Nasr (whom you know from Frenchette and Le Rock), ably assisted by maître d’ Derek Summerlin, the grandson of the original owner, the new-again Le Veau d’Or might have been a revivified shanda. But thankfully, nearly ninety years after it first opened, the resurrected Le Veau d’Or does not feel like a zombie pastiche. Rather, it’s an intimate, vibrant room, maybe the liveliest in New York. It’s the CBGB’s of Escoffier, Carême’s Blue Note—the place where the legend lives on. Frog legs sizzle in so much garlic and butter that only a fool doesn’t order fries for sopping. And damn if the duck magret aux cerises, pink under a crust of peppercorns, isn’t the best thing from Long Island since Billy Joel."
