Cafe Chelsea is located at 218 West 23rd Street and is house in an iconic landmark, The Chelsea Hotel. The hotel opened under new ownership in 2022 followed by Cafe Chelsea. The restaurant has classic dishes which are inspired by traditional French cuisine coupled with exceptional ingredients. The restaurant was designed with the historic building in mind. There are many works of art that were part of the original hotel for decades and now they hang throughout the restaurant with many complimentary French accents as well. Cafe Chelsea is open all day for breakfast, brunch, lunch, midday, dinner and let’s not forget dessert!

Here is the inside bar and the various eating areas.

So what did I decide to order?

I wasn’t all that hungry so i decided to keep it light!

First came the bread…

Then came Poulet Roti, which was half a rotisserie chicken, with herbs, salad and sauce vin jaune. It was very fresh and very tasty.

So if you’re in the Chelsea area and want to walk in someplace interesting for either breakfast, lunch or dinner and enjoy people watching as well, then I recommend Cafe Chelsea as a dining experience.
