Culinary Experience

Under the direction of Culinary Director Gregory Gourdet, five distinctive dining experiences unfold throughout Printemps New York - from an all-day café and raw bar to a champagne bar and intimate cocktail lounge. While each venue offers its own atmosphere and point of view, they are bound by a shared thread: the vibrant flavors and refined techniques born from the culinary legacies of former French colonies. Together, they create a seamless journey of taste from morning to night.

Meet the Chef

Award-winning chef, restaurateur and cookbook author Gregory Gourdet is at the helm of Printemps New York's five dining concepts. Classically French-trained, but globally-minded, Gourdet puts his unique touch on iconic French dishes.

"The menus and stories across our five concepts will reflect a lifetime of cooking and experiences. We are committed to bringing something new to NYC through the culture, history, and healthy lifestyle our flagship restaurant and other outlets will honor. With a holistic approach to creating spaces for every type of diner, we eagerly anticipate welcoming both New Yorkers and international guests to a luxurious world of history, culture, and the best sustainable ingredients." - Gregory Gourdet

Early Life

A native of Queens, NY, Gregory attended the Culinary Institute of America, becoming the school’s first student to land an internship with celebrity chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. During his seven-year tenure, Gourdet honed his culinary skills at three of Vongerichten’s trailblazing restaurants. He climbed the ranks to become one of his chef de cuisine before moving to Portland, Oregon.

Gregory ran the kitchen at Portland's Departure Restaurant + Lounge for 10 years, leaving in 2019 to focus on opening his award-winning live fire restaurant, Kann.

Architecture & Design

Designed by architect Laura Gonzalez, Printemps New York reinterprets the brand’s Parisian heritage through bold layers of pattern, texture, and material. Bespoke frescoes, hand-crafted stained glass, and custom Art Nouveau–inspired tiles give each space its own character while allowing the store to unfold as a connected, dynamic whole.

Meet The Architect

Laura Gonzalez is a multi-award winning, Paris-based architect and interior designer renowned for her sophisticated residential projects and collaborations with prestigious luxury brands and hospitality groups worldwide. In 2022, Printemps selected Gonzalez to create a 'Paris meets New York' twist into the design at Printemps One Wall Street.

“It’s a one of a kind project, it’s a dream project," says Gonzalez, known for her maximalist, warm style. "We drew inspiration from the heritage of Printemps, but this is New York and New York is very special because there are no boundaries here."

Early Life

Gonzalez’s soulful, multi-layered, whimsical designs are informed by her childhood in the South of France, raised in a family in the hospitality industry it's no surprise she started her career designing the bars and clubs of friends. In 2008, while still a student at the prestigious Paris-Malaquais School of Architecture, Gonzalez founded her eponymous firm in Paris's left bank.

"I wanted to create a space that whispers of its heritage rather than shouting it. For me, it was about reinterpreting the codes of Printemps—the light, the curves, the textures—through the lens of New York’s energy."
