Descend into the charming depths of Hotel Griffou and discover everything from its storied past to its present menu offerings. Once a functioning hospitality house as its name implies, Hotel Griffou was previously presided over by Madame Marie Griffou, a big-hearted French woman with a soft spot for creative types. Through the years, this hallowed space played host to such cultural luminaries as Mark Twain, Mae West, and Jackson Pollack, and is now home to the impossibly stylish downtown set.
Imbued with the spirit of bawdy brilliance, Hotel Griffou is a menagerie of curiosities, a culinary fun house where New Yorkers in the know go to drink in the atmosphere and the champagne. Sink into aged leather banquettes and dine on Chef David Santos’ equally fascinating menu. Amidst an atmosphere of rich textures, Chef Santos offers shining examples of seasonal American cuisine while paying homage to his home country, Portugal.
For a truly chic dining experience–with a dash of quirk for good measure–Hotel Griffou is sure to pique your curiosity as well as your palate.

"The atmosphere is so unique; all the rooms are decorated differently. It's like being in the study of an eclectic old millionaire circa 1945. haven't been in about a month, but my mouth is watering just thinking about going back!" - Yelp Reviewer Tara R., New York, NY, 1/25/11

"We had dinner in the back of the parlour area, which is gorgeous with plush red striped rounded booths. The other rooms are energetic with a young, hip crowd. In addition to loving the atmosphere, we also had a great dinner." - Yelp Reviewer Tricia K., New York, NY, 3/14/11

"We loved this subterranean joint with its casual cool vibe (think pixelated graphic wolf wallpaper as a base for granny-chic oil paintings with gold frames) and indulgent menu (all warmly familiar but far from everyday)." - Yelp Reviewer Stewart S., New York, NY, 2/12/10
