Colette, the massive French restaurant in the Thompson Hotel, is opening this week

The new restaurant—formally named Colette Grand Café and Bakery—is owned by The Chase Hospitality Group, the same corporate entity behind The Chase, The Chase Fish and Oyster and soon-to-open Little Fin. Colette will encompass a posh, 150-seat bistro and a more casual grab-and-go café, both overseen by executive chef Michael Steh. The restaurant makes its debut on Thursday, July 31.
