This summer, DineAmic will open its coastal French concept La Serre on the corner of Green and Fulton. With its entrance off Green Street, the second-floor fine dining restaurant and supper club encompasses 6,500 square feet plus a 2,000-square-foot terrace overlooking Fulton Market. Around the corner on the ground floor, with its entrance off Fulton, Bar La Rue will have 3,000 interior square feet as well as an adjacent 2,500-square-foot, all-seasons outdoor pergola.
La Serre: Inspired by St. Tropez, La Serre allows guests to enter off Green Street into a greenhouse—the name La Serre translates to “The Greenhouse,” —where they’ll find bohemian decor, thick wood beams, venetian plaster, troughs of flowers, floral booths, and antique mosaic tiles reminiscent of the French Riviera. A central peninsula-shaped bar, with the main dining area raised a few steps to overlook it. Adjacent to the dining room is a traditional French-style open kitchen with a wood-burning hearth. There, chefs will prepare Southern French coastal options such as grilled seafood, charcoal roasted vegetables and other Mediterranean fare. In lieu of traditional French brasserie-style favorites, La Serre plans to opt for a lighter Mediterranean approach.
Bar La Rue: With its own separate entrance on Fulton Market Street and marked by its large outdoor garden pergola—which has an outdoor-to-indoor bar a few steps from the street—Bar La Rue (“The Street”) evokes a Parisian cocktail bar and bistro. Neon signs and windows filled with illuminated liquor bottles are juxtaposed with crystal chandeliers and ornamental brass shelving. The menu will be comprised of French plays on traditional bar fare and other everyday Parisian options. As Bar La Rue plans to be open for both lunch and dinner, items such as fresh salads and sandwiches will make their way onto the menu. Items such as a grilled cheeseburger and a twice-fried poutine will pair with the carefully cocktail menu.
Culinary Team: Helming the kitchen for both La Serre and Bar La Rue are Chef Angelos Kotsiris, hailing from Le Petit Maison in London; and Chef Nikitas Pyrgis of La Guerite in Cannes; plus, Chef Partner Athinagoras Kostakos, formerly of Alain Ducasse in Monaco and Partner in both LÝRA and VIOLÍ.
Both concepts are slated to open in late summer 2023.
