LE B

What LE B does

Restaurant Le B is a privately-held fine dining restaurant operating from 283 West 12th Street in Manhattan's West Village, owned by Three Horses Hospitality LLC under Chef/Proprietor Angie Mar. The restaurant opened on September 20, 2023, occupying the space formerly housing Les Trois Chevaux and positioning itself as a tribute to the legendary Beatrice Inn during its centennial year. Le B has been awarded Four Stars by Forbes — one of only eleven New York restaurants to hold that distinction — alongside Best New Restaurant accolades from Robb Report, Condé Nast, and the Financial Times, and an Esquire 50 Best Bars in America recognition for its beverage program.

The restaurant offers two primary service channels: a reservation-only dining room serving a full à la carte and seasonal tasting menu featuring Continental cuisine with French technique, signature tableside preparations, and luxury ingredients (osetra caviar, foie gras, dry-aged prime rib); and a walk-in bar area offering an abbreviated experience anchored by the 45-day dry-aged Le Burger, limited to one per guest per night. Pricing is pay-as-you-go with a $150 per-person cancellation fee after 12pm EST the day before, $250 no-show fees, and corkage fees of $100 per 750mL or $200 per 1500mL bottle. Demand is orchestrated through OpenTable (30-day advance reservations) and earned media, with operations Tuesday through Saturday, 5:00pm–1:00am.

The business model is direct-to-consumer fine dining with no technology platform, no disclosed revenue, no external investors, and a single physical location. Strategic creative partnerships with designer Christian Siriano, florist Raul Avila, architects BWArchitects, and chef-artist Jacques Pépin reinforce a culturally-curated brand identity, while a planned 2026 relocation of Les Trois Chevaux to an uptown Manhattan location signals portfolio expansion within the founder's hospitality group.
