Le Cirque was a French restaurant that has had several locations throughout the New York City borough of Manhattan for more than forty years. It is currently closed, with its future status unknown.
New York City history
Le Cirque was established in 1974 by Italian
Palace Hotel in 1997 where it remained a hotspot through 2002.[11]
In 2006, the restaurant moved to a location in the
Le Cirque: A Table In Heaven directed by Andrew Rossi.[16]
Le Cirque New York closed on January 1, 2018, due to rising rent costs and other operational challenges,[11][1] but operated private events on a boat in 2019.[17] Its future plans are unknown as of 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the restaurant industry[18] and the 2020 death of founder Sirio Maccioni.
Other locations
As of 2019, there were Le Cirque in Las Vegas and three
Michelin Star and an AAA Five-Diamond rating.[19] Their lower-end sister brand Circo has a location in Abu Dhabi, but the Dallas location closed.[17]
