Resto, French slang for casual restaurant, opened its doors in April 2007. The concept of a laid back neighborhood gathering place with approachable Belgian food in the style of New York, was created by owner Christian Pappanicholas.

Resto has become a destination in Gramercy Park/Murray Hill for a delicious dinner, weekend brunch or a late night bite. The knowledgeable and friendly staff is well versed in the extensive Belgian beer list and the thoughtful wine list which focuses on a varied selection of European wines. The menu is crafted using traditional French technique, with an emphasis on seasonal, mostly local, farm fresh ingredients. Resto prides itself on elements like a revolving seasonal menu as well as large format plates such as Cote De Boeuf, Whole Roasted Pig or Whole Lamb.

Resto's dining room can accommodate 70 guests with 10 seats at the bar where we encourage full dining. We also have seasonal outdoor seating which can accommodate 6 guests.

We encourage reservations but always have tables available for walk-ins. Our bar and sidewalk seating is on a first come first serve basis.

Please contact us for reservations at 212-685-5585 or online.
