Claudette Information

Claudette is a Provençal restaurant in the heart of Greenwich Village, steps from Washington Square Park offering a warm and inviting atmosphere to share great food with friends and family. The restaurant is named after Claudette Sammut, the 91 year-old mother of Guy Sammut, who with his wife Reine own two beautiful restaurants and a small hotel in Loumarin. Carlos A Suarez and Mark Barak, the owners of Claudette, stumbled upon the property on a sunny October afternoon and were so inspired by the beautiful setting, Reine’s food, Guy’s incredible warmth, and the Sammut family’s story, that they asked Guy – before dessert was even served – if they could name the restaurant after his mother. Luckily for them, he said yes. The Executive Chef Ari Bokovza, during the course of his professional career, has worked in some of New York City’s most renowned restaurants including Union Square Cafe, Picholine and The Modern, where, during his three-year tenure as chef de cuisine, the restaurant was awarded three stars from The New York Times. Inspired by the soulful cooking and teachings of his Tunisian grandmother, Chef Ari Bokovza’s adds his own style to the menu at Claudette. The menu celebrates the rich flavors of the Mediterranean and Provence and focuses on local produce, seafood and North African aromatics found in the Provençal kitchen. Claudette is open for lunch, happy hour, and dinner on weekdays and serves brunch and dinner on weekends.
