One of the best upscale restaurants in the Grand Central area (and Midtown generally). Also great views from the bar area.

We had a wonderful time. The duck as the main course was magnificent. The service matched the quality of the dishes. Congratulations, Le Pavillon. A must for every visitor to New York.

This place was absolutely wonderful. The food was comparable a Michelin star restaurant. I would highly recommend the tasting menu. The service was wonderful, everyone was nice, and the food was brought out immediately. The atmosphere was even more incredible, because you have views of the street and the restaurant is well decorated.

Our fourth visit to Le Pavillon was just as wonderful as the previous 3. While the food is consistently exceptional, the true highlight is the atmosphere—it’s upscale without being stuffy. The staff is incredibly attentive; they immediately provided two pillows to ensure my partner was comfortable with his mobility needs. Our waiter was patient as I navigated the wine list, and the tasting menu continues to be a total triumph.

Very welcoming staff in a beautiful setting.. We were walk-ins and didn’t get the usual high end restaurant disdain but instead a friendly of course! Chose the 6 course tasting and every single dish was a work of art both visually and palate wise… exceptional from start to finish! Wait staff was wonderful and friendly and executed flawlessly….. Highly recommended!!
