In an Instagram post, Four Twenty Five called it,” A full-circle moment for Jean-Georges. In 1986, Jean-Georges began his New York journey at Lafayette, steps away from Four Twenty Five. In 2023, he opens Four Twenty Five, marking the 62nd restaurant in his repertoire of worldwide restaurants.” Four Twenty Five says the ever-changing menu will celebrate the best of each season’s bounty.
Chef Benno says he is “thrilled” to work alongside Jean-Georges and his team. Stay tuned.
