# Memorable Dining Experiences Le Pavilion Blends Landscape Architecture with Culinary Excellence By Francesca Mercurio | Published 2021-09-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-pavilion References: [designboom](https://www.designboom.com/architecture/le-pavillon-isay-weinfeld-chef-daniel-boulud-garden-restaurant-new-york-09-15-2021/) A new restaurant has recently opened in midtown Manhattan and doubles as a culinary center and garden. [Restaurant Le Pavillion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-family-loyalty-program) was designed by Brazilian architect Isay Weinfeld in collaboration with [renowned French chef Daniel Boulud](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daniels-room). Together, these two visionaries have erected a unique restaurant that embraces the natural environment. Upon entering Le Pavilion, guests are confronted by a curated space filled with [lush shrubs and trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plumbago) that encircle a series of dining tables. The dining room comfortably accommodates 120 guests and features high ceilings, which lend a feeling of grandeur. To create a warm and intimate atmosphere, spotlights are positioned around the shrubbery, and the walls are clad with a series of wooden panels. This design is unique; however, the space does not compromise service and offers a traditional restaurant experience in an unparalleled environment.
