When the cold bites, this is what you come in from it for.

Boeuf bourguignon, braised low and slow in Burgundy wine until it barely holds its shape.
Deep, earthy, impossibly rich.
Accompanied with pomme mousseline so silken it dissolves.

A dish of winter done exactly right. Our Thursday night special.

Book your table for tonight now and warm up with L'Hotel Gitan.

The move is two glasses of Sauternes and a chocolate soufflé at the end of the night.

But first; Louis Roederer to settle in. A Petit Chablis with the charcuterie. Burgundy with the duck.

The wine list here rewards people who linger over it.

Reserve your table and request "the booth" for a more intimate affair.

A bowl of moules marinières is an act of trust.

You lean in, you get your hands a little messy, and somewhere between the garlic and the wine, the conversation gets easier.

The perfect way to start a date night at L'Hotel Gitan.
