The story

A carriage house, two rooms, one Golden Age.

Chateau Royale was a bi-level supper club and cocktail bar in the heart of Greenwich Village, created by the acclaimed team behind Libertine. Discreetly set within a former carriage house on Thompson Street, it was, in its own words, a love letter to the Golden Age of New York French dining.

Downstairs, the Bar Room offered its own elevated take on New York French-ified classic tavern fare. Upstairs, the Dining Room took things further: multi-course meals, tableside cocktails and a slightly larger wine list.

What set it apart

Three things it was known for.

  1. Two rooms, two moods

    A casual Bar Room on the ground floor with French-ified tavern fare, and a formal Dining Room upstairs with tablecloths, multi-course dinners and a longer wine list.

  2. The tableside martini

    The Chateau Martini: gin or vodka, classic or dirty, $24, served in the Dining Room from a cart chilled to 12–18°F.

  3. House rules with a wink

    No laptops, no athletic gear or baseball caps, no outside birthday cakes. Corkage was $100 a bottle, and the staff reserved the right to be quietly impressed by your selection.

To better take care of guests. The restaurant found that phone calls, while well-meaning and convenient, tended to distract from service. All reservations, changes and cancellations were handled through Resy, which also let guests text the maître d’.
