MaisonRouge

Wine first. Dinner doesn't have to end.

Fifteen wines by the glass, one hundred and forty-five labels behind glass, and a cellar holding over two thousand bottles. A hot grill at the back and a room that keeps its lamps low long after the last course.

Est. in the old quarter

A red room, a cold cellar, and no reason to rush.

Maison Rouge began as a cellar with a stove in the corner. The cellar stayed. The stove became a kitchen, the corner became a dining room, and the evening stretched out to fit.

We open with a glass, not a menu. What follows is decided at the table — by the bottle you chose, and how long you plan to stay.

One — The Cellar

One hundred and forty-five labels, kept cold and close.

Burgundy runs deep, the Rhône runs long, and the rest of the racks are for whatever our sommelier fell for this month. Over two thousand bottles sleep in the cellar; fifteen of them are open by the glass.

By the glass

Fifteen pours, rewritten weekly. Ask for the two at the bottom of the list — they are always the interesting ones.

Cellar list

One hundred and forty-five labels, from village Burgundy to verticals we have been sitting on since the room opened.

Corkage

Bring your own on Tuesdays. We will pour it properly and charge you for the glassware only.

Two — The Kitchen

Cooked over fire, plated for the bottle you chose.

The menu is short on purpose. Whole fish, aged beef, whatever the market gave us that morning — cooked over charcoal and finished with a sauce that can stand up to a serious red.

Tiramisu, Crème Brûlée

Four — After Dark

The kitchen closes.The room doesn't.

From eleven the lamps come down, the lounge opens upstairs and the list turns towards older bottles, amber wine and a very short menu of things to eat with one hand.
