A word from Paradou

Welcome to Paradou, a little bit of Provençal paradise in the heart of Manhattan’s Meatpacking District. Behind the sky-blue doors of a 19th century carriage house, is a restaurant that will transport you to your own quiet, romantic corner of the South of France. High ceilings and white-washed… brick walls, bar and tables constructed of vintage French wine crates are the backdrop for a highly acclaimed list featuring more than 40 French wines, matched by an equally extensive and innovative seasonal menu overseen by Paul Bocuse & Daniel Boulud alum, Executive Chef, Kfir Ben Ari. As warm, welcoming and inviting as Paradou is, it is OUR HIDDEN, YEAR-ROUND GARDEN that makes it a true refuge in NYC. Possessing one of the most unique outdoor, all-season spaces, Paradou offers a wonderful setting for gatherings, whether an intimate dinner for two or large parties up to 100, in a private corner of idyllic Provençe in the heart of New York.

"We had brunch and everything was spot on. My duck sandwich was to die for and accompanied by an excellent Haut Medoc. Friendly staff who worked with us given the fact that were five plus a baby in a stroller."

"Execellent brunch, unlimited mimosas. They have funny descriptions of their entrees. 2 of us has the duck, great and our other 2 friends had the eggs benedict, delicious. Our waiter was very attentive, our glasses were never empty.The ambiance was very cute. I want to go back when it's not a cold rainy day. The only downside was the man that called me to confirm the reservation, he was not clear and unprofessional."

"Great place let down but poor wine, the work potato gratin i've ever had and service that saw two requests ignored despite reminders. Usedmto be a great place run by keen staff and a passionate chef. Assume he's no longer there. Pity."

"Bread was absolutely delicious. We split the Burger & Veggie sandwich. Both good, but the veggie sandwich was a small slice of tomato & a slice of avocado. Thats it. Added goat cheese to both and definitely glad we did. Tasted the Potatoes but didnt do it for me. Not enough flavor & too much grease. Dark chocolate & candied orange crepe is what sent me here.......sadly a big disappointment. Tons of melted bitter dark chocolate and the most microscopic comical sliver of candied orange on top you have ever seen. We were actually chuckling. Host & Waiter were both friendly. Did not feel rushed at all, but the place was not packed at 11am. They could definitely work on presentation of food (bit sloppy) & clean/replace glasses. Overall fine"

"Had a birthday of 7 people here, staff was SO nice, and the back garden is soft lit and welcoming. the friendly (and good looking) French staff makes Paradou a perfect pre-party spot in the Meatpacking, this is a hidden gem."

"Paradou was having a pig roast buffet but said they were also serving off the main menu. They sat us in the back dining area which has a pretty ambiance with lights, trees and leaves under a tent. The first waiter to come over didn't know how the special fish was prepared so he sent over another waiter. 5 minutes later that waiter told us how the skate was prepared but didn't know whether or not they had mussels. He said he'll be right back. He clearly forgot because we walked out and they thanked us for coming. Clearly they were not prepared for people to order off the main menu or ask questions. We would not go back!"
