Demo is a restaurant in the West Village serving modern, Europe-inspired cuisine from Executive Chef Quang Nguyen and Sous Chef Dina Fan. Inventive seasonal dishes—like wax beans with bottarga and boquerones—share the menu with updated classics like beef tongue tonnato, alongside a carefully curated list of wines by glass and bottle. The sleek interior, tastefully adorned with red marble and dark wood, hosts a front bar for walk-ins as well as a chef's counter in the back.

Please note: We are a small restaurant. Reservations in the dining room and at the chef's counter are intended for dinner. For drinks and snacks we accept walk-ins at the front bar. Thank you for your understanding.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Quang Nguyen

From the OpenTable editors: When alums from the wildly creative Wildair open a restaurant, you take notice. That's true of this buzzy West Village spot that Eater called the most exciting new wine bar in Manhattan. Head over during the day for coffee and pastries, and then return at night for aperitivo and French-, Spanish-, and Italian-influenced food, like thinly sliced beef tongue, all while seated at glossy red marble tables and espresso-toned booths.

    Every dish was wonderful and the nebbiolo by the glass was a delight. Staff was attentive and every dish was explained by a chef down to the smallest detail. Great vibe. Great date spot. Thank you!

    This is the fourth client of mine that I have recommended to Demo simply due to its exceptional service, food, and feedback I have received. What a great find of a restaurant and special thanks to Pierre who has left an extraordinary impression. Please continue doing what you’re doing!

    It was incredible! All dishes were delicious, especially the focaccia, the duck pasta and the desserts (banana pudding and sesame ice cream). Pierre, who was our server, was spectacular!! I went with his recommendation of wine, and he also helped us choose what to get (even though it was hard to narrow down!!)
