A quiet alley in Greenwich Village, a neighborhood loved by New Yorkers. At first glance, it seems like just an ordinary art gallery, but behind the paintings on the wall lies a very special secret. When the painting itself opens like a door, it reveals the Michelin-starred restaurant ‘Frevo,’ consisting of just 16 counter seats. This is the ultimate dining spot for those who know the joy of discovering the ‘real’ New York.
A Secret Space Inspired by Speakeasy Culture
Co-founders Bernardo Silva from Brazil and Chef Franco Sampogna drew inspiration from New York’s speakeasy culture to conceive this unique structure. As he says, “Discovering hidden places is the real fun of New York,” the special culinary experience begins the moment you pass through the secret door after the gallery. The interior, designed by the world-renowned architecture studio Rockwell Group, combines deep teal colors, warm wood, and restrained lighting to create a profound immersive experience.
Creative Cuisine Crossing Borders
The food at Frevo is not bound by any specific region. It flexibly traverses ingredients and cooking methods from around the world, stimulating the palate with unexpected combinations. The harmony created by surprising ingredients like chocolate and wasabi, or honey ice cream and Comté cheese, is Frevo’s signature. The tasting menu changes with each season, and the wine pairing boasts a wide spectrum from natural wines to classic vintages.
Boiling Artistic Energy, Frevo
The gallery that serves as the entrance regularly showcases a variety of artworks from emerging to renowned artists. True to its name, which means ‘to boil’ in Portuguese, Frevo is a space that is always bubbling with art, gastronomy, and new ideas. If you want to experience the most special and secretive dining in New York, knock on the door behind this painting.
