Maison Blanc Refreshes Their Menu Just in Time for the Holiday Season

Maison Blanc has always been the Upper East Side’s answer to a proper French dinner — candlelit, unhurried, worth dressing for. Their refreshed fall and holiday menu gives regulars new reasons to return and newcomers a perfect introduction to the room. The kitchen is leaning into classic French technique this season with a few well-placed modern touches. A new duck confit with cherry gastrique and pommes sarladaises anchors the menu alongside a returning crowd favorite: the butter-poached lobster tail with saffron beurre blanc. For those wanting something lighter, a new roasted beet and chèvre terrine with walnut vinaigrette is the kind of first course that makes the whole table jealous. They’ve also announced their Valentine’s Day dinner early — $120 per couple for a prix fixe on February 14. At that price for Maison Blanc, it’ll sell out fast. What to order this season: • Duck confit with cherry gastrique • Butter-poached lobster tail with saffron beurre blanc • Roasted beet and chèvre terrine • Valentine’s Day prix fixe — book early The B&S Take: Maison Blanc is the kind of restaurant that makes a special occasion feel earned. The new menu gives it fresh energy without losing what made it the go-to for anniversaries and birthdays on the Upper East Side. Book the Valentine’s dinner now — seriously.
