L’Abeille reflects the luxurious charms of TriBeCa from its corner perch in this prized zip code. The restaurant is a darling space designed to the hilt with velvet cushioned seats and booths, a striking marble bar and handsome tables set with Christofle cutlery. The young Chef Mitsunobu Nagae is a calm, collected presence in the open kitchen, and years spent working at Joël Robuchon restaurants worldwide are evident. A harmonious union of French cooking with Japanese sensibilities, Nagae’s food is immediately approachable. From Dover sole poached in seaweed butter to white asparagus and langoustine with orange blossom-scented buttermilk foam, each course is a vision of refinement. Charming servers in fitted suits roam the floor, keeping close watch on every seat.
