What a great find this is in Midtown for a little luxury. Bit of a splurge, but you really get the whole experience. Service was fantastic, beautifully decorated for Christmas and the whole restaurant is just gorgeous. My sandwich was excellent, as was my cocktail. Highly recommend if you’re looking for the full experience.

The only problem with Le Monde this time was the huge number of people there at 5:45pm and on. It was completely full and despite our early reservation we had to sit in a table for 5 next to the bar. Very noisy and hard to have conversations across the table. The food was as delicious as usual though :-).
