Le Pavillon (Le Pavillon) is a contemporary French restaurant at 1 Vanderbilt Ave. in the One Vanderbilt tower in Manhattan, New York, led by chef Daniel Boulud. [1]
Overview
Le Pavillon sits in the One Vanderbilt tower in Manhattan, led by chef Daniel Boulud, serving contemporary French cuisine. A tall glass space, natural elements, and a striking blown-glass chandelier form the restaurant's visual highlights; the menu combines seafood, vegetables, and French technique, presenting a formal dining experience in a city skyscraper. In 2025 it was listed with a MICHELIN star. [1][2]
The MICHELIN Guide writes that despite its classic-sounding name, the restaurant resides in one of the city's newest skyscrapers; the elegant dining room has soaring ceilings, plate glass, and a warm palette, and the bar is a prized perch crowned by a dramatic blown glass chandelier; chef Boulud and executive chef Will Nacev skillfully prepare a contemporary, globally inflected carte dominated by seafood and vegetable-focused items, at the highest price level ($$$$).
