Jenifer and George Lang welcome you to one of New York's most famous restaurants - 4 blocks from Lincoln Center and 10 minutes from the theater district.
The Café des Artistes opened in 1917, making it one of Manhattan’s most historic restaurants. Today, the Café is renowned the world over for its lushly romantic setting – including the famous nude paintings of Howard Chandler Christy – and warm service. The menu reflects the best of European bistro cooking, serving such dishes as Steak Frites, Duckling Three Ways and Pot au Feu with Marrow Bones.

The Café des Artistes is open for dinner before and after the theater:
Monday through Saturday – 5:00 p.m. to 12:30 a.m.
Sunday –5:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.
Lunch – Monday through Friday 12:00 noon to 3:00 p.m.
Brunch – Saturday 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Sunday – 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

“Romance is very much alive” at George and Jenifer Lang’s West Side “aphrodisiac of a restaurant” thanks to a “ravishing” setting complete with lovely Howard Chandler Christy murals and “flowers everywhere”; add in “efficient service” and “excellent” if “costly” French food, and it’s just the place to “charm your new love or rekindle an old one”; regulars tout the choice of seating areas.
