Gabriel Kreuther is a two-Michelin-star restaurant in Manhattan named after its chef and owner, Gabriel Kreuther. It specializes in modern Alsatian food with other French, German, and American influences.

Menu

Gabriel Kreuther specializes in modern Alsatian food with other French, German, and American influences. It offers a more casual, less expensive lunch menu, and also has a large bar and lounge serving cocktails and lighter or small dishes. For evening dining, the restaurant serves a four-course dinner. Also available are tasting menus of six or nine courses.

Their most famous dish is a sturgeon and sauerkraut tart with a caviar mousseline smoked in applewood. Some of the restaurant's other main-course options include langoustine tartare with flying fish roe, cauliflower, and macadamia puree; terrine of creamy foie gras with brittle black truffled praline served with cider-poached quince, pomegranate and chestnut cornbread; or hamachi with black truffles and foie gras in millefeulle pastry.

All diners are served at least one amuse-bouche and a variety of breads. The restaurant stocks a wine list of 1,800 selections. For the fourth course diners choose either cheese or dessert.

The bar has its own lighter menu ranging from snacks to tartes flambées and large plates.

While the restaurant is haute cuisine, the dress code is business casual; Kreuther has stated "My intent was always to have a comfortable environment where people feel good in it and bring it really down to earth", so he eliminated the need for diners to wear formal wear, a business suit, or tie or jacket.

The chef

The owner, Gabriel Kreuther, initially worked in restaurants across France, Switzerland, and Germany before moving to the United States. In the US, he worked at La Caravelle, a classic French restaurant, and as Chef De Cuisine at Atelier, a Mediterranean restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton. At his prior restaurant, The Modern, a Danny Meyer restaurant located inside the Museum of Modern Art, he worked as an executive chef. Gabriel gained the prestigious James Beard Award, his first Michelin star, and first worked with Marc Aumont, his current pastry chef. He was also named one of Food & Wine Magazine's Best New Chefs in 2003.

In November 2021, he collaborated with Michael Ruhlman to publish his first book, Gabriel Kreuther: The Spirit of Alsace, a Cookbook. The book contains recipes from his eponymous restaurant, memories of Alsace, and classics from Alsatian cuisine with a foreword by Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
