Just 30 minutes away from Harlem is the family-owned and operated Demarchelier Restaurant that has remained New York City’s little piece of France.
This piece of France is something that happened ever since opening on 86th Street over 25 years ago by owner and artist Eric Demarchelier, brother of famed fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier. Under the management of Eric’s daughter, Emily Demarchelier, the cozy French bistro attracts a loyal clientele who come for both the authentic French cuisine and the warm, familial hospitality.
