About this restaurant

  • Good for business meals
  • Charming
  • Great for creative cocktails
After four successful years on the Upper West Side, we are thrilled to be opening our second location, bringing The Consulate’s diverse and global concept to Midtown. We welcome our regulars, new neighbors and friends, to experience the space, which celebrates the French-style bistro of our sister location with a few surprises across the board, ranging from exciting additions to the food & beverage menu to a refreshed design. We look forward to Midtown discovering what The Consulate is all about,” said Restaurateurs Metodija and Kiril Mihajlov.

The Consulate captures the city’s rich diversity and vibrant mix of world influences throughout its concept, food & beverage and design. The idea of The Consulate was born from Metodija’s experience as a foreigner pursuing the American dream in New York City.

Executive Chef Alan Vargas, Beverage Director Jelena Maksimovic Welcome you at The Consulate Midtown

    The food was very tasty but the service was slow and not very attentive. The noise level was quite high as well. Maybe worthwhile going on a less busy night.

    Family dinner at the Consulate. The duck breast was good, the bone marrow better, and the truffle fries were the best we’ve had! Service was very good and the atmosphere was nice. The lighting is perfect as it lends ambiance, while still remaining functional. We enjoyed our Sunday dinner at the Consulate and would return!

    Excellent service and food beautifully presented. We were seated upstairs and the tables are too close to each other. We could hear every word of the conversation from the table next to us, even though we didn’t want to.

    Only got appetizer in over an hour. Left after an hour and 20 minutes with no food. Staff was kind, so don't know if something was off, but not an accetable wait.

    Celebrated my wife’s birthday with an amazing dinner. The service and our waiter Gustavo were great. We had the oysters and caviar to start which were fresh and tasted great. My wife had the sea bass for dinner which she found to be better than most others she has had. My filet was cooked to perfection, tender, and seasoned well. We could not have asked for a better night. The ambiance of the restaurant is perfect for a quiet and romantic dinner.

    We went for a dinner before our broadway show. The service was great! Loved that our waiter Gustavo was friendly and attentive, and was able to help us with any questions we had about the menu. Food and drinks were great!!! Only thing I could say that we prefer our steak not pre cut for us. I wish we were informed that that’s the way they present it.
