The covered garden of Bar Lento: white beams and glass roof, hanging plants, the long wooden counter and the small tables by the windows
The covered garden · open all year

Two gardens · one address

A private garden in Chelsea. Two, actually.

Rare in New York, and we have both: a covered garden you can sit in all year round, and an open one for when the city finally warms up.

All year round

The covered garden

Glass overhead, plants all around: warm in January, airy in July. The best seat in the house on a rainy night.

Spring & summer

The open garden

Tables under the sky, from the first warm evening of spring to the last one of autumn. In winter it becomes the view, and we seat you inside where it's warm.

When you book on Resy, write "garden" in the notes and we'll do our best to seat you there.
