Midtown West
A Victorian-era inspired dining room, as well as a heated front terrace and backyard garden, serve as the setting for Le Privé’s French fare. In addition to classic French dishes like steak tartare, bouillabaisse, and magret de canard, you can also find beignets on the menu, a nod to owner Sanjay Laforest’s Creole roots.
