How to book Le Veau d'Or

Le Veau d'Or is a French restaurant at 129 East 60th Street on the Upper East Side that first opened in 1937^1,4. Robert Tréboux ran it from 1985 until his death in 2012, and his daughter Catherine sold it in 2019⁴. Chefs Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson, the team behind Frenchette and Le Rock, reopened it on July 16, 2024, keeping the spirit of the old room while raising the level of the cooking and the drinks^1,4.

The room is small: fifteen tables that seat up to four guests each, a five-seat bar kept for walk-ins, and a private dining room upstairs². Reviewers describe red banquettes, checked tablecloths, Art Deco lights, porcelain calf vases and a mirror etched with a map of France's wine regions^4,5.

Dinner is a prix-fixe meal of an appetizer, an entrée and a dessert, with a green salad for the table, priced at $145 per person on the current menu; lunch is $85^3,5. The menu sticks to classic French cooking, with dishes such as pâté en croûte, tête de veau ravigote, duck magret with cherries, gigot of lamb with coco beans, île flottante and gratin au chocolat^3,6. The Michelin Guide lists it as a recommended restaurant⁶.

Tables are released on SevenRooms at 9:00 AM, fourteen days ahead, and the restaurant points diners to the platform's alert list for cancellations².
