The Bonnefont: French-Californian Dining in Fort Tryon Park
The Bonnefont, a restaurant at 1 Margaret Corbin Dr in Fort Tryon Park, doesn’t post a happy hour. It’s a few minutes’ walk from the Met Cloisters and named after the museum’s medieval Bonnefont cloister and herb garden.
The verdict: the best-looking place to drink a glass of wine in upper Manhattan, at full price. Chef and owner Nicole O’Brien cooks what she calls “FreNoCal”, French food with a Northern California accent, and the wine list leans on small producers from the US and France.
What to Expect
A park restaurant with a covered patio and heat lamps, so it isn’t only a summer stop. The bar pours small-producer wines, unusual spirits such as a French single malt, and craft beer. A café on the lower level sells homemade ice cream and sorbet. It also hosts private dinners and weddings.
