NEW YORK, Dec. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Philippe is the eponymous Manhattan restaurant of Chef Philippe Chow, the talented Hong Kong native who helmed the famed Mr. Chow
for 25 years before opening his own New
York flagship restaurant. At Philippe, Chef Chow draws upon
his classical culinary training, putting his own spin on
traditional Chinese cuisine with results that are modern,
flavorful, and theatrical. This December marks Philippe Chow's 12th year in the
Manhattan's Upper East Side.
The Upper East Side restaurant's atmosphere is minimalist and
stylish, attracting a nightly following that makes up a virtual
"who's who" of the music, film and sports industries, not to
mention politicos, CEOs and an array of additional New York influencers. Diners have included
A-List celebrities like Conor McGregor, Rihanna,
Matt Damon, Kobe Bryant, Oprah Winfrey, Anna
Wintour, Robert De Niro,
Beyonce, Jay-Z and Puff Daddy. Philippe's interior
utilizes a signature color palette of black and white throughout
the venue, with pops of bold red to symbolize good fortune and joy,
according to Chinese tradition. The main dining room, skylight room
and lounge located on the first floor offer plush leather
banquettes and intimate booths that lend an air of opulence as the
glow from flickering candles and overhead skylights set the tone
for a luxurious dining experience. For VIP patrons seeking
something a bit more secluded, a seductive subterranean floor
offers a lounge, as well as two intimate dining rooms, the wine
cellar and Marquis room, which are common haunts of New York's celebrity and elite.
Chef Chow, who was born in China and has been cooking professionally
since he was a teenager in Hong
Kong, is best known for his dumpling preparations,
hand-pulled noodles and large-format, show-stopping dishes that are
as lavish as they are delicious. Chef Chow was at the forefront of
bringing elevated Chinese cuisine to New
York City. The food at Philippe is served family-style and
signature items include Salt & Pepper Lobster,
Chicken Satay, Glazed Spare Ribs, Filet Mignon with
oyster sauce and the legendary Peking Duck, which is
carved tableside and served with house-made pancakes. Using
locally sourced ingredients Chef Chow has created a menu maximizing
sustainable seafood and humanely raised meats. There are also
several off-menu specialties available for in-the-know regulars
that Chef Chow will whip up personally. Since opening, Philippe Chow has received top culinary
accolades including "Best Peking Duck" from the New York Observer
and "Best in Chinese" by Zagat.
In addition to the dishes that exemplify Chef Chow's take on
classic Beijing-style cuisine, Philippe has an award winning
wine list with wines by the bottle and glass from all over the
world, as well as a selection of vintage champagne. Guests can also
sip on specialty cocktails, many of which are reminiscent of the
Far East but with a New York
twist. The Lychee Martini has become the go to cocktail for many of
Philippe's celebrity clientele.
To end their meal on a sweet note, Philippe is proud to welcome
back Pastry Chef Terri
Dreisbach. Her new desserts use an Asian flavor profile
to compliment American classics. The mouthwatering selection
includes Coconut-Ginger Beer Float, Key Lime Verrine,
and a Warm Spiced Pear & Almond Cream Tart. These
desserts are a great addition to the existing Philippe signature
classics like the Fortune Cookie Red Velvet Cake and
Cotton Candy Baked Alaska recently featured on Good Morning
America.
Thanks to its no-hold-barred take on Chinese food and Upper East
Side chic atmosphere, Philippe has been a New York staple for an elegant yet lively
night out in New York for the past
twelve years. Chef Philippe humbly states that his continued
devotion to the brand is driven by his love of "cooking for people
and delivering an exquisite taste."
Philippe is located at 33 E. 60th Street
New York, NY. For more information
