Close to the Morgan Library, in the heart of Manhattan, is Madison Bistro, a restaurant that combines quality of the produce and inspiration of classic and modern to give guests a taste of some special cuisine. With acclaimed Master Chef Claude Godard, who has worked with many excellent Parisian restaurants and also gained membership of the prestigious 'Academie Culinaire de France', at the helm, you are assured of a memorable time.

Start with salmon carpaccio, shaved beet and capers vinaigrette and West Coast oysters served with mignonette, cocktail sauce and lemon. For main course consider braised short ribs in pinot noir, angel's hair, shrimps and pesto sauce or seared sole fillet, vegetables and ' beurre rouge'. Other dishes such as grilled barbeque chicken, shredded apple, mesclun and walnuts and nicoise salad with fresh grilled yellowfin tuna are also at your disposal. The cellar hides a beautiful wine collection waiting to be discovered.
