Resto, French slang for a casual restaurant, opened its doors in April 2007. The concept of a laid back neighborhood gathering place with approachable Belgian food in the style of New York was created by owner Christian Pappanicholas. Resto has become a destination in Gramercy Park/Murray Hill for a delicious dinner, weekend brunch or a late night bite. The knowledgeable and friendly staff is well versed in the extensive Belgian beer list and the thoughtful European wine list. The menu is crafted using traditional French technique, with an emphasis on seasonal, local, farm fresh ingredients. Resto also emphasizes group/nose-to-tail dining with options like Cote De Boeuf, Poularde in Half Mourning and our Large Format Feast Program. We have been fortunate to receive great critical acclaim: two stars (New York Times), four stars (New York Magazine), Best New Restaurant 2008 (New York Times). In 2009, we rated as a Recommended Restaurant by the Michellin Guide.
