La Compagnie, Centre Street

Designed by Dorothée Meilichzon, the interior balances a long bar with cosy nooks at the edge of Soho and Little Italy. The list features a deep selection of wines by the glass focusing on French producers, paired with chef Eric Bolyard’s playful menu, where the grilled cheese is a standout. Palates can be tested with the mystery wine challenge—a difficult blind tasting that wins you a free bottle if guessed correctly. Knowledgeable sommeliers guide the experience, drawing on the style of the bar's sibling venue in Paris.
