"When Sotheby's opens its new global headquarters at 945 Madison Avenue this November, it won't just be art lovers lining up at the Breuer building-it'll be diners. The legendary auction house has teamed up with Roman and Williams, the design studio behind some of New York's most beloved restaurants, to create , a French restaurant opening in spring 2026, alongside La Mercerie Patisserie, a café and bakery tucked inside."
"The new dining duo comes from the same team behind SoHo's acclaimed La Mercerie , hailed by the New York Times for its "classical precision" and by the as the "epitome of luxury." Chef and partner Marie-Aude Rose will lead the kitchen at Marcel, joined by La Mercerie's executive chef Heloise Fischbach. Expect the group's signature blend of refined French technique and warm, tactile design-only this time, in a Brutalist icon."
"For those keeping score of the Breuer building's cultural reincarnations, this is its latest life after housing the Whitney Museum , the and, most recently, the Frick Collection . Sotheby's purchased the landmark for roughly $100 million in 2024 and is transforming it into a multi-level art, design and dining hub-complete with galleries, auction spaces and now, a restaurant pedigree worthy of the address."
