From the OpenTable editors: Joël Robuchon alum Mitsunobu Nagae melds his Japanese heritage with French cooking at this MICHELIN-starred Tribeca gem. That means you might find dishes like foie gras crème brûlée stuffed in citrus or miso-marinated Japanese butterfish with baby artichoke on the seasonal tasting menu—or choose from à la carte options at the bar. Either way, you'll be seated in a space that's definition: Tribeca; an elegant room with velvet chairs and booths and a marble accent wall.

Executive chef: Mitsunobu Nagae

  • Abreu Vineyards Winemaker Dinner

    $1,250.00 per person

    Prepaid

    Max. 6 tickets per person

    Nov 11, 2026 only
    6:30 PM
    For the third consecutive year, l’abeille invites you to an intimate evening with Brad Grimes, esteemed winemaker at Abreu Vineyards, celebrating some of Napa Valley’s most exceptional wines. The evening will feature a remarkable selection from Abreu Vineyards, beginning with Las Posadas Sauvignon Blanc 2024 and Las Posadas Chardonnay 2024, followed by a vertical journey through several of the estate’s most celebrated sites and vintages. Highlights include the 2016 Thorevilos, 2001 Thorevilos, 2006 Cappella, and the 1996 Madrona Ranch. Brad will guide guests through the distinct character of each vineyard and vintage, paired with Chef Mitsu’s tasting menu to showcase the depth, evolution, and singular expression of Abreu’s wines. Founded by David Abreu in the 1980s, Abreu Vineyards began with Madrona Ranch, where vineyard and surrounding farmland were developed as a singular estate. The portfolio later expanded to include Thorevilos and Cappella, followed by Las Posadas, the estate’s Howell Mountain vineyard, in 2000. Together, these distinctive sites represent an extraordinary collection of Napa Valley terroirs and form the foundation for Abreu’s highly regarded Cabernet Sauvignon–based wines. Brad Grimes has been an integral part of Abreu Vineyards since 2000. Known for his understated approach and remarkable depth of expertise, Brad has played a central role in shaping the estate’s wines and maintaining its reputation among Napa Valley’s most celebrated producers. Under his stewardship alongside David Abreu, the wines have earned consistent critical acclaim, including numerous 100-point ratings.

    This 4-course tasting menu at @labeille.nyc paired French-influenced cuisine with 5 incredible Japanese sakes. It was my first time having sake with anything other than sushi and the flavor pairings worked perfectly. It was incredible to learn more about sake production and how the different styles paired with different flavor notes in food. Comment below for the link to reserve your seat for this exclusive 2-night tasting menu.

    Phenomenal dinner at @labeilleacote.nyc, the playful sibling concept located next door to Michelin-starred l’abeille from Chef and Owner @mitsunobu.nagae. My friend and I each ordered the three-course prix fixe and we got different dishes so that we could share. Here is what we ordered: - sourdough with miso butter - crab croquette with kimchi sauce vierge and herb salad - salade gourmande with foie gras and market vegetables - “vol-au-vent” with scallops and mushrooms - saikyo-miso black cod with daikon - harry’s strawberries, rhubarb confit, lavender ice cream - basque cheesecake with lemon purée and cognac chantilly The food was exceptional, service was friendly and attentive, and the space was gorgeous. And for $88/person for the prix fixe I very highly recommend this spot for a wonderful night out in Tribeca ✨

    Beautiful presentation and plating. Highlight for us was the coffee ice cream with onion foie gras. Totally inventive and the flavors really work. The seven courses are enough and gives you a good sample of their kitchen prowess.

    An extraordinary evening at L’abeille for the October 15 chef-in-residence dinner with Michel Roux of London’s celebrated Le Gavroche and Chef Mitsu. The menu brought Le Gavroche’s signature dishes together with L’abeille’s own creations, with thoughtful wine pairings and warm, personal hospitality. The meal unfolded like a great jazz performance, building toward a series of memorable solos. Chef Roux’s Soufflé Suissesse was like eating a cloud: light and airy, yet wonderfully rich without overwhelming. Chef Mitsu’s Mediterranean red mullet with kabocha squash and sauce bordelaise provided a lovely transition to my favorite dish of the evening: Artichaut Lucullus. The artichoke heart filled with truffles and foie gras, accompanied by Madeira truffle sauce, left me briefly speechless. The roast duck supreme with sunflower purée and port jus was another standout, beautifully cooked with crisp skin and tender meat. If pressed to rank them: artichoke first, soufflé second, duck third—but it was a photo finish. Sommelier Steve Kim’s recommendations complemented the menu beautifully. Comparing the artichoke with both the Meursault and Côte-Rôtie was a particular pleasure. Cheese, a delicate pear dessert, and mignardises brought the evening to a satisfying close. One small gesture captured the hospitality: knowing how much I enjoy a madeleine with my Sunday coffee, the staff sent me home with an extra. This Sunday, that madeleine brought the whole evening back. Exceptional cooking, gracious service, and a memory worth savoring.
