New York, NY— Brasserie Ruhlmann (45 Rockefeller Plaza), a meticulously-crafted restaurant that pays homage to the great Art Deco designer Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann, evokes a uniquely French sentiment, adhering to traditional standards of simplicity, detail, and elegance that are universally and enduringly valid.  Executive Chef Laurent Tourondel lends his signature touch and eminent reputation to Brasserie Ruhlmann, producing nostalgic French fare in an appropriately beautiful setting.

Owners Jean Denoyer (La Goulue, Orsay, and Fizz in New York City; l’escale in Greenwich, CT; Le Colonial in San Francisco and New York City), Regis Marinier (La Goulue and Orsay in New York City) and Bernard Collin have brought their expertise to bring that Parisian “je ne sais quoi” to hungry New Yorkers.

 Conceptualized and designed by Denoyer, an avid collector of Ruhlmann’s world for over 30 years, Brasserie Ruhlmann celebrates the artist’s dedication to detail, craftsmanship and timeless beauty, recreating the charm of Paris’ vibrant Bourse neighborhood in the late 1920s. Ruhlmann’sstyle is evoked in design elements like octagonal mirrors, nickel-plated sconces, a tiered plaster ceiling, and ebony macassar walls with ivory inlays.
