Restaurant of the Week: Timeless French cuisine meets NYC glamour at the Rockefeller Center.

This summer, the team behind NYC icon Frenchette branched out with the opening of an all-new restaurant in the Rockefeller Center: Le Rock.

As the latest venture from celebrated duo Lee Hanson and Riad Nasr (formerly of Balthazar, Pastis and Minetta Tavern fame) the opening has got the city’s foodies talking. Like its Tribeca sibling, Le Rock has artfully captured the timeless class of an authentic French bistro and added a drizzle of that New York je ne sais quoi. “It’s classic in our own way,” says Nasr. “We wanted to create something with longevity that feels like a treat to be there.”

Le Rock opens as part of the Rockefeller Center’s recent culinary revamp, which has seen a multitude of new spots happily calling the destination home.
