The prix fixe — $135 / $155
Dinner runs as a prix fixe: two courses reported at $135, three courses at $155 (figures from the restaurant's published Fall 2023 menu — the structure holds, but confirm current pricing when you book). The menu reads like a love letter to classic French technique, with a few Mediterranean turns. Here's what the lineup has included:
Appetizers

|---|---|
| Salade Majorelle — watercress, avocado, haricots verts, lemon vinaigrette | ✓ |
| Burrata "anchoïade" — roasted peppers, anchovy dressing | ✓ |
| Salade de betteraves et ricotta — beets, ricotta, mustard vinaigrette | ✓ |

Main courses
| Dish | Part of prix fixe |
|---|---|
| Fettuccine "maison" au homard — homemade pasta with lobster | ✓ |
| Ris de veau aux châtaignes et morilles — sweetbreads, chestnuts, morels | ✓ |
| Magret de canard aux cèpes — duck breast with porcini | ✓ |

| Loup de mer grillé, sauce vierge (for two) — grilled branzino | ✓ |

| Ossetra caviar and blini | $265 |
Sides run $15 — vegetable tajine with couscous, creamed spinach, potato mousseline, brussels sprouts, hand-cut fries. Our take: the fettuccine au homard is the dish to build the meal around, and the three-course prix fixe is the right call — this is a room that rewards the full arc.
Afternoon tea
Majorelle also serves afternoon tea — reported hours Wednesday–Saturday 12–4:30pm and Sunday 1–6pm. It's a quieter, lovely way into the room. We could not verify current tea prices from public sources at the time of writing, so call ahead for the menu and pricing before planning around it.
What we'd order
- To start: the vol-au-vent d'escargots — snails in puff pastry is peak old-school French, and this room does it straight.
- The main: fettuccine "maison" au homard. Handmade pasta with lobster in a room like this is the whole point.
- The classicist's pick: ris de veau — sweetbreads with chestnuts and morels for the adventurous.
- Format: three courses. Two courses here feels like leaving early.
Planning your visit
- Jackets preferred. This is one of the few rooms left where that still means something — dress accordingly.
- Confirm the prix fixe price when booking; the $135/$155 figures come from the published Fall 2023 menu and may have moved.
- The Lowell bar (open longer hours than the dining room) is an excellent pre-dinner drink spot.
- 63rd Street is quiet — it's a five-minute walk from the bustle of Fifth Avenue, which is exactly the appeal.
