Providing the best french cuisine in a special intimate place like Greenwich and for special people.
His 30 years experience is outstanding:
Starts in the restaurant business at le Relais in New York City in 1981, the hottest restaurant in the upper east side of Manhattan at the time.
Moves to Los Angeles, and work two years with Wolfgang Puck at Spago, the restaurant of the stars!
Next stop L’Orangerie, the most romantic and exquisite French establishment in Southern California.
Back to the east coast in 1987 and 3 years at “Le Bilboquet” , the clubby, uberchic and exclusive 35 seat French bistro, where you could find Botero, Eric Clapton, Lenny Kravitz, or Bono seated at the next table.
In 1990 opens “Le Comptoir” on 67th Street, Tattler magazine said the the best XMAS gift of that season would have been a friendship with Antoine, the maître D’ at “Le Comptoir”!
1993, worked as a maître D at Le Colonial, the very chic first Vietnamese restaurant in NY “Indochine style”, before opening his first restaurant: Orienta.
Then opened his first restaurant Opia in 2001.
And now comes Le Penguin in Greenwich, CT in summer 2013, with Anshu Vidyarthy.
This is the latest fine dinning place in Greenwich that opened just a few weeks ago, with a much appreciated immediate tremendous success.
Romantic, cozy with that French “je ne sais quoi" that makes it an addictive space with a soul. Soul in the air and soul in the food.
The incredible Executive Chef and son Adrien Blech, elaborates an classic and artistic French cuisine, but not simply visually. You are also hit by his art in the subtle tastes that suprise you in each and every dish you try.
Le Penguin is the new experience restaurant in Greenwich.weniger sehen
