Maison Harlem opened late in the year on St. Nicholas and 127th Street but has surpassed what we would have expected from a new French restaurant in this part of town. A classic bistro interior can be found within which is accented by wide plank floors, the requisite subway tiles, industrial pendant lights and a pressed tin ceiling. The service and offerings are also a standout here especially for such a new establishment.
This corner location just on the cusp of West and Central Harlem had absolutely nothing going on in the immediate area as far as finer dining was concerned. Maison Harlem has now proven that there is a need for such establishments even in areas removed from FDB or Lenox. Check out the Prix Fixe New Year's Eve menu on the bistro's official website:

We need some brave restauranture to take the plunge in East Harlem around 125th and 3rd or Lex too.
ReplyDeleteBest Blog.....Harlem+Bespoke :)
ReplyDeleteWell said, Harlem Bespoke is best Harlem blog on many levels.
DeleteWe need more restaurants on West 145th street and FDB. There is the demand but no one has made the move! Come on, I am ready to spend my money!
ReplyDeleteAgreed! We need more restaurants in the 140s.
DeleteLa Maison was a great brunch! Glad places like this are coming up in Harlem.
ReplyDeleteMaison Harlem has quickly become my very favourite eatery in Harlem, the food is excellent, the staff while a tiny bit slow are very professional and the atmosphere is cosy and laid back.
ReplyDeleteI love the atmosphere and food, however the few times I've been to brunch there the service was a bit spotty and the food took forever to come out. Hopefully those issues have been resolved because it is an otherwise terrific place.
ReplyDeleteWe had the best time there last night. The atmosphere was spot on, it was a great night to celebrate a new year!
