Maison Vivienne recently announced the opening of its elegantly modern Manhattan-based flagship restaurant located at 116 East 60th Street on the Upper East Side. Maison Vivienne, which has a second location designed to cater to guests who frequent Southampton, offers a contemporary interpretation of French Provencal Mediterranean classics, all created with sustainable and local ingredients, as per a PR Newswire release.“Residing in a traditional townhouse property, the 4,000 square-foot space can seat up to 160 guests at any given time. Featuring an inviting long bar at street level, the design created by Paris K Studio, draws inspiration from the historic building through the use of the remarkable floor to ceiling fireplace, original hardwood flooring, and subtle dove grey wall colorings. Contemporary accents are organically woven into the design, including the glass wine cellars that flank the gorgeous whitewashed fireplace,” the release states.“We are thrilled to welcome guests to Maison Vivienne, allowing them to be temporarily transported to the South of France through a single meal,” says Allan Basaran, General Manager and partner of Maison Vivienne. “Acting as a respite from the busy hustle and bustle of the city, we want to provide guests with an intimate atmosphere to come together over a meal and celebrate life’s pleasures through food and drink.”According to the release, on the culinary front, Maison Vivienne tapped acclaimed father and son team, Chef Victor Pastuizaca as their Chef de Cuisine, who is an expert in Italian and Mediterranean cuisine and Johnny Pastuizaca as Sous Chef, trained in the true classical French tradition.
