SoHo just got a new restaurant hiding in plain sight. Broome has reopened at 431 Broome Street, transforming the historic boutique hotel into a new destination for French-Mediterranean food, cocktails and courtyard dining.
The nearly 200-year-old building has long been one of those downtown New York secrets that feels surprisingly peaceful once you step inside. Now, the property is entering a new chapter with a completely reimagined restaurant and bar at its center.
Broome Restaurant is led by chef Moshe Masarty, whose menu blends classic French cooking with the sunny flavors of the Mediterranean. Expect dishes built around seasonal produce, seafood, grilled meats and plenty of fresh herbs. Current offerings include tuna tartare with labneh and cucumber consommé, beef tartare, mussels, branzino with beurre blanc, gemelli with cherry tomatoes and filet mignon.
There is also, because this is New York, a burger.
But the real draw may be the setting.
The restaurant wraps around Broome’s private open-air courtyard, creating an unusually tranquil place to eat in the middle of SoHo. The redesigned interiors layer art, books and collected objects throughout the nearly 200-year-old property, giving the restaurant more of a lived-in European townhouse feeling than a typical new NYC opening.
Broome Restaurant is open from morning into evening, with breakfast and dinner at launch and brunch planned for a later phase. The hotel itself has 14 rooms and suites, making the property feel more like an intimate European hideaway than a traditional Manhattan hotel.
For anyone searching for new SoHo restaurants, French-Mediterranean restaurants in NYC, courtyard dining in Manhattan or new restaurants in downtown NYC, Broome deserves a spot on the list.
Because sometimes the best new restaurant isn’t screaming from Broadway.
Sometimes it’s hiding behind a door on Broome Street.
