Desserts by Executive Pastry Chef Kristyn Onasch, an alum of Boulud Sud, include an Apricot Tart with Pistachio Ice Cream, Chocolate Coffee Cake with 3 Chocolate Mousse, and Cream Puff with Roasted Plum and Chantilly.
The wine list boasts more than 100 offerings, with a focus on the wine radius around Lyon, including Beaujolais, Maconnais, Côte de Vienne and Collines Rhôdaniennes. Featured among the cocktails are L'Orange with Rhum Jm, Lemon, Orange, and Orange Bell Pepper; and La Tempête with El Dorado 12 Yr Rum, Lemon, Strawberry, Ginger, Salers.
Le Gratin’s interior design transports guests to the bright and boisterous bistros of France. Marble floors, wooden chairs, and cigar-colored banquettes. Decorative painted tiles adorn the walls featuring garden flowers and playful cockatoos while coffered ceilings and mirrored walls that make the space feel bright and airy. The restaurant can be found in the heart of the Financial District just steps away from City Hall, the Fulton transit hub, the Oculus at World Trade Center, Tribeca and revitalized Seaport District.
