Welcome to L'Accolade, our French-inspired neo-bistro and natural wine bar in the heart of the West Village, opened in 2019. Founded by a group of Frenchfriends who each found their way to New York’s restaurant world before coming together to create a space of their own, L’Accolade is often described as a French restaurant—but with a spirit of its own.
Every dish we serve celebrates the best of the season, with ingredients sourced from sustainable farms. Led by Chef Benjamin Traver, from The Modern & Boulud, our ever-changing menu reflects the vibrant soul of La Parenthèse, our sister restaurant in Marseille, which has been offering French cuisine with a twist since 2008.
With a deep love for natural wines, we curate a thoughtful selection from passionate small growers who prioritize biodynamic practices, offering you a rich world of flavors.
At L'Accolade, we believe in more than just dining—we create a space where food, wine, and good company come together in harmony. Our intimate dining room and romantic garden, all designed by us, provide the perfect setting for a memorable experience.
Whether you're savoring our signature Duck Breast or discovering a new favorite wine, we invite you to slow down, soak in the moment, and feel at home.
Santé!
