Caf\u00e9 Mulberry \u2014 a cozy French restaurant in downtown New York City \u2014 has quietly emerged as an exclusive escape for high-profile figures like Rita Ora, Jason Momoa, Ed Sheeran and so many more.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve tried to create a place that is discreet and intimate, but also a place where they know us and they know that we can make sure that they\u2019re safe, that they\u2019re happy, and that there\u2019s a fun place to be,\u201d Sievers said.<\/p>\nCaf\u00e9 Mulberry co-owners Leo Jacob and Justin Sievers (above) took Page Six on a tour of their Nolita restaurant. Brian Zak\/Page Six<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cWe\u2019ve tried to create a place that is discreet and intimate,\u201d Sievers told Page Six of the French restaurant (pictured above). Brian Zak\/Page Six<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<\/aside>\n\u201cIt\u2019s an intimate place. It\u2019s not a huge club downstairs. It\u2019s not a huge restaurant upstairs.\u201d <\/p>\n
The pint-sized, 25-seat candlelit dining room is lined with exposed brick walls showcasing photos of celebrity guests and regular customers who have wined and dined there over the years.<\/p>\n

Fortunately for A-listers, there aren\u2019t many rules to follow, creating a laid-back, private setting where elite diners can truly let loose.<\/p>\nMargot Robbie (seen here at The Mulberry in 2025) hit the hot spot after a film premiere.

JosiahW \/ BACKGRID<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cWe have the ability to kind of say [to a celebrity,] you want to throw an afterparty, no problem,\u201d Sievers said. \u201cWe\u2019ll close the books that night. And you have a beautiful space here to hang out and be intimate with your friends and family and cast.\u201d <\/p>\n
Along with its effortlessly cool ambiance, visitors get to enjoy a refined French menu dreamed up by Chef Nicole Gajadhar. The dishes most beloved by the stars include French onion soup, steak au poivre with a side of pomme pur\u00e9e and their 48-hour brined chicken (the latter was a favorite for Momoa and his \u201cThe Wrecking Crew\u201d cast and crew). <\/p>\n
Initially, the founders envisioned Caf\u00e9 Mulberry as a daytime caf\u00e9 and coffee destination that would transition to wine and light bites in the evening, but strong customer demand quickly created an appetite for a full dinner service.<\/p>\nThere is a casual caf\u00e9 at the front of the restaurant (pictured above). Brian Zak\/Page Six<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe walls are lined with photos of celebrities who have stopped by the intimate joint. Brian Zak\/Page Six<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nA cozy VIP booth has been the dining spot for several A-listers over the years. Brian Zak\/Page Six<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe dining room (seen above) seats just 25 people. Brian Zak\/Page Six<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cWe got Chef Nicole involved and she was able to work some magic in that tiny kitchen and started cranking out some beautiful dishes,\u201d Sievers said. <\/p>\n
Their caf\u00e9\u2019s roots remain evident at the front of the space, where a small counter serves lattes, sandwiches and pastries for customers on the go.<\/p>\n
Tucked behind the restaurant, a secret garden offers notable patrons a stylish outdoor getaway from the noisy city streets and prying eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe wanted it to feel old-world and special, like you feel like you\u2019re in the South of France,\u201d Sievers said of the patio, where scalloped umbrellas, brick flooring and abundant greenery evoke a French Riviera-inspired atmosphere.<\/p>\nJon Hamm once performed with Beck at The Mulberry (seen above). Brian Zak\/Page Six<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nRita Ora (seen here at The Mulberry) is a regular patron. Brian Zak\/Page Six<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nChristian Siriano has also enjoyed the nightlife destination (seen above). Brian Zak\/Page Six<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nEd Sheeran has rolled through with friends (seen above). Brian Zak\/Page Six<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nJason Momoa hopped behind the bar to serve beer (seen above). Brian Zak\/Page Six<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe sun-drenched setting provides the perfect backdrop for kicking back with a chilled glass of the restaurant\u2019s signature Fros\u00e9.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis summer marks the 10-year anniversary of when I invented Fros\u00e9 at Bar Primi,\u201d Sievers said, recalling, \u201cIt went viral all over the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
To commemorate the milestone, The Mulberry is introducing a new twist on the beloved frozen drink: the Fratcha Fros\u00e9, a matcha-infused version created especially for the occasion.<\/p>\nThe restaurant is known for their chicken (pictured above). Brian Zak\/Page Six<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe steak au poivre (seen above) is a favorite on the menu created by Chef Nicole Gajadhar. Brian Zak\/Page Six<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nDescend a narrow staircase below the restaurant, past the velvet rope, and you\u2019ll find The Mulberry, one of Manhattan\u2019s most exclusive nightclubs.<\/p>\n
The subteranean cocktail lounge boasts a disco ball dance floor, DJ booth, sleek bar and a preserved 200-foot bread oven dating back to the 1800s. Tucked behind curtains is a private space known as the Whisper Room, named for both its remarkable acoustics and the many secrets said to have been shared within its walls.<\/p>\n
Jacob said the late-night hub came to life nearly four years ago when the owners\u2019 actor and musician friends kept turning to them for recommendations on where to go after hours. <\/p>\nFrench toast (seen above) is a big brunch item. Brian Zak\/Page Six<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe shrimp cocktail (above) is best served alfresco in the summer. Brian Zak\/Page Six<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cWe\u2019ve had everything from wrap parties here to engagement parties, birthday parties. We\u2019ve had, you know, nights that never ended to where we don\u2019t even know necessarily what time they ended, where the sun came up,\u201d Jacob said.<\/p>\n
Last year, Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell celebrated the premiere of their film, \u201cA Big Bold Beautiful Journey,\u201d by hitting the dance floor. Two years prior, Chris Evans had an impromptu afterparty following the premiere of his 2023 film, \u201cGhosted.\u201d<\/p>\nThe secret garden (seen above) is decorated with a French Riviera feel. Brian Zak\/Page Six<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nSievers (seen above) is celebrating 10 years since he invented Fros\u00e9. Brian Zak\/Page Six<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201c[Chris is] like, \u2018Hey, we want to come by, just my close mates,’\u201d Jacob said. \u201cAnd I was like, \u2018cool.\u2019 And we just closed the bar and they just came in, put a card down and had their after-after here.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat kind of stuff is what happens here,\u201d he added. \u201cAnd then we have a regular, nicer service that, you know, cater to the New Yorkers that can get in.\u201d<\/p>\n
Getting in isn\u2019t so easy. Even one of the club\u2019s investors couldn\u2019t get in when a certain actor from \u201cOceans 11\u201d came through one night, Jacob said, without naming any names. <\/p>\nThe Mulberry (seen here) is the exclusive nightclub below the restaurant. Brian Zak\/Page Six<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThere is an old bread oven by the dance floor (pictured above). Brian Zak\/Page Six<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe Whisper Room (seen here) is a curtained-off private space. Brian Zak\/Page Six<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe bar (seen above) is designed to serve creatives, fashonistas and the \u201ccool kids,\u201d Jacobs said. Brian Zak\/Page Six<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cThe door is pretty tight. We try and keep it tight as possible,\u201d Jacob said, before explaining, \u201cWe\u2019re geared towards the creatives, the fashion [people], the cool kids, the club kids, but also just people who want to listen to good music.\u201d<\/p>\n
While the venue continues to draw stars like Taylor Swift, Sophie Turner,<\/a> Jenna Ortega and Saweetie, Jacob and Sievers ultimately aim to cultivate the multifaceted property into a go-to destination for locals as well.<\/p>\n\u201cI think we\u2019re looking forward to becoming a staple in the neighborhood, and really just being a place where people can come hang out, have a good time and have some delicious food, drink Fros\u00e9 and have fun with their friends,\u201d Sievers said. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
