At Marcel, the newly revitalized dining room in an architectural landmark on the Upper East Side, Chef Marie-Aude Rose’s lavish, hearty French Continental cuisine gets the setting it deserves—and so do the city’s bon vivants and connoisseurs of culture. With a jaw-dropping design by owners Roman and Williams and a rotating display of fine art and rare objects courtesy of Sotheby’s, which recently took over the Breuer building, the mid-sixties Brutalist masterpiece is now a destination for whole turbot and côte de boeuf, pastry-crowned onion soup, escargots of dreams redolent with parsley and garlic, or an appropriately spirited, cherry-topped baba au rhum. Like what you see? That Helen Frankenthaler painting on the wall, perhaps? The custom-designed silver flatware on your table? A croissant or fluted tart from La Mercerie Pâtisserie in the center of the room? You can take it all with you. Just say the word, and a specialist will be right over.
