Restaurant Clement imports the flavors of the Northeast to the heart of the city, at the Peninsula New York. Unveiled in October 2013, Chef Brandon Kida’s contemporary American cuisine blends perfectly with the urban, sophisticated and casual environment of Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue. Clement’s adjoining bar is a modern lounge area where guests can enjoy tasty cocktails and glasses of wine.
A Menu Inspired by the Seasons
Chef Kida, former Chef of Asiate and Lutece in New York, has developed a menu adapted to the seasons, inspired by products from the Northeast region.
Executive Pastry Chef Deden Putra prepares the Clement’s delicious desserts, also using local ingredients, depending on the season.

The restaurant features both an elegant, intimate bar and larger spaces, providing the ideal setting for breakfasts, lunches and lively dinners.
