"Kreuther has watched this city change from a place where people go out three or four nights a week without thinking twice, he tells Eater, to one where diners are more conscious of what they want and what they're spending. His answer is a new wood-fired French brasserie Saverne, opening on Monday, March 2, at 531 West 34th Street, at the base of Tishman Speyer's Spiral tower on the far West Side in Hudson Yards."
"The restaurant takes its name from a historic town in the Bas-Rhin region of Alsace, at the foot of the Vosges mountains, where Kreuther is from. But the feel is unmistakably New York, or rather, the New York that Related Companies built at Hudson Yards. The interior is two rooms: one with a dramatic entrance and a brass bar and chandelier, the other a back room built around an open kitchen anchored by a wood-fired oven and grill."
"For Kreuther, wood fire is 'going back to the basics,' he says. His restaurant is one of a handful of new spots cooking with live-fire grills, along with Soho's Or'esh from the team behind the impossible-to-book Corner Store; the soon-to-open Oriana in Tribeca from the Noorwyck crew; and spots that have been open longer, like Melissa Rodriguez's Crane Club, and chef Hillary Sterling's Ci Siamo nearby."
Gabriel Kreuther, an acclaimed chef who previously earned three Michelin stars and a James Beard Award at his namesake restaurant, is opening Saverne, a wood-fired French brasserie at Hudson Yards. Named after his hometown in Alsace, the restaurant features two rooms with an open kitchen centered around a wood-fired oven and grill, with premium seating facing the flames. Kreuther describes wood-fire cooking as returning to basics, positioning Saverne among a growing trend of live-fire restaurants in New York. The concept reflects his observation that diners have become more conscious consumers, seeking intentional dining experiences rather than frequent casual outings.
