Le Veau d’Or, the city's oldest French bistro since 1937, has been revitalized by chefs Lee Hanson and Riad Nasr, blending classic charm with timeless dishes.
"A classic old-school French restaurant cherished for its timeless charm." - Kevin Chau
"New York City's oldest French bistro, revived on the Upper East Side by the duo behind Frenchette." - Eater Staff
"Leave it to Frenchette to make one of uptown’s most storied bistros hot again. The $125 prix fixe includes generous portions of an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert, plus a salad. The French icon, open since 1937, feels anything but stuffy, in a room with red gingham tablecloths and comingling between uptown lifers and a younger set eager to try it out." - Emma Orlow, Eater Staff
"The Upper East Side’s Le Veau d’Or is in the mix, the revival of the city’s oldest French bistro from Lee Hanson and Riad Nasr." - Melissa McCart
"The original brass plaque that reads “Restaurant Le Veau d’Or,” with a brass calf’s head mounted over the name, has been stolen on the Upper East Side outside of the city’s oldest French bistro, open since 1937. Chefs Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson took over the restaurant over the summer from the original owners. (It’s been well reviewed so far.) A spokesperson says the sign was stolen from the exterior of the building near the entrance in broad daylight yesterday. A police report has been filed; there are no suspects yet, though there is camera footage. “Any help or info that leads to its return is appreciated,” it reads." - Melissa McCart
