UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — The patisserie inside the celebrated Ansonia building will toast its last Croque Monsieur this month after nearly 30 years of bringing French cuisine to the Upper West Side. Margot Patisserie has set its tentative closing date for Sunday, almost exactly 28 years after it first claimed the space on Broadway and West 74th Street in May 1994, owners said. "We want to thank you for your support, especially during the pandemic," Margot, the owner of the cafe, wrote on the website. "We hope our paths will cross again. In the meantime, take care and stay well." The cafe's lease ends in May, owners said. Margot Patisserie's products were heavily influenced by Southern French cuisine and focused on innovating and continuing to come up with creative recipes over the years. The menu included a smoked salmon platter, ham & gruyere cheese croissants, Parisian style breakfast, wine, low-fat turkey lasagna, duck leg confit, truffle mac & cheese, soups, salads and more. Online ordering will remain available until the cafe's last day, but many items are no longer in stock. The cafe will remain open until closure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, with available outdoor seating. You can find out more about Margot Patisserie on its website.
