Maison BARNES New York
The destination dedicated to the French Art of Living
At the heart of Park Avenue, Maison BARNES New York embodies the founding vision of BARNES: to showcase the French Art de Vivre in the capitals of the world.
More than just a restaurant or a club, Maison BARNES is a living house, a place for meetings, inspiration, and experiences, where gastronomy, culture, and elegance come together to create exceptional moments that are both refined and deeply human.
This pioneering destination opens a new chapter in the history of BARNES, a natural extension of its legacy in art, hospitality, and the pursuit of excellence.
ARCHITECTURE & DECORATION
A contemporary setting inspired by the Parisian golden age.
Maison BARNES has been envisioned as an elegant townhouse, a place where every detail tells a story. From engraved glass to sculpted ironwork, from varnished wood to touches of gilded bronze, everything reflects the craftsmanship and beauty that BARNES holds dear.
The décor, designed by Stéphanie de Ricou and Kévin Ouvré, draws inspiration from the Belle Époque: painted ceilings reminiscent of the Grand Palais, shades of verdigris, walnut furniture, and carefully selected art pieces create a timeless setting.
Here, heritage naturally converses with modernity, offering a cozy universe where one feels welcomed like in a family home, elegant, inspiring, and profoundly Parisian.
GASTRONOMY & TABLE ART
The Art of Living, elevated at the table.
Together with Chef Daniel Boulud, Maison BARNES celebrates French cuisine in all its forms.
Each meal becomes a scenography, driven by the Art of the Table, a central pillar of our house, designed as an immersive experience that evolves with the rhythms of the seasons and cultures.
Themed table services, showcased in our China Cabinet, offer guests a rare immersion into international craftsmanship and the great French Houses.
This approach, inspired by our Art of the Table program, transforms each moment into a visual narrative: refinement becomes an emotion, and the table becomes a universe.
Through our curiosity cabinets, we present unique and limited-edition pieces from the most renowned names: Christofle, Saint-Louis, Bernardaud, Hermès, and many more.
These objects naturally find their place in our House, where craftsmanship is experienced, contemplated, and celebrated.
SPACES & EXPERIENCES
A characterful house with multiple universes.
Maison BARNES unveils a constellation of unique spaces, each designed as a destination in its own right:
• Two restaurants (Café Boulud and Maison BARNES Dining Room),
• A spectacular Bar & Lounge,
• The China Cabinet and its immersive scenographies,
• Private salons like Salon Madeleine, Le Cellier, or The Baccarat Room.
Maison BARNES now features a private screening room: an intimate space with red velvet chairs, created for confidential screenings, premieres, cultural meetings, and private dinners accompanied by cinema.
This exceptional venue, illustrated in our offering documents, extends our mission: to provide experiences that blend culture, emotion, and exclusivity.
EVENTS, PRIVATE RECEPTIONS & MEETINGS
A circle of curious minds, aesthetes, and enthusiasts.
Maison BARNES hosts events where gastronomy, art, conversations, and passions converge: themed dinners, lectures, intimate concerts, exhibitions, masterclasses, and collaborations with prestigious Houses.
Our programming aligns with the Six Passions of Maison BARNES: gastronomy, art and craftsmanship, know-how, philanthropy, entrepreneurship, and conversation, as outlined in our guidelines.
Maison BARNES offers high-end event space rentals where each event is tailored to fit, in an atmosphere that combines exceptional cuisine, attention to detail, and French hospitality.
Maison BARNES thus becomes a place where ideas are exchanged, inspirations intersect, and unforgettable memories are born.
