Bar Artisanal is a Mediterranean-inspired brasserie playfully reminiscent of a timeless European food market, The grand and airy 4,500-square feet space features unexpected contrasts in black and white, 20-foot floor-to-ceiling windows and elegant iron latticework covering the ceiling and monumental columns, Bar Artisanal is theatrical in scale and details. The geometry of the latticework ceilings is reflected in the dramatic floors, playfully using different-sized tiles to create a visual game for the eyes. Moments of distortion and playfulness are carefully designed throughout the space, like the floor to ceiling mirrored walls in the dining room and bathrooms. The vast space and distinctive materials -- stone, steel, brass, mirrors -- reflects both the classic turn-of-the-century food market that inspires the restaurant's cuisine and TriBeCa's history as an industrial district dominated by warehouses, all infused with a sense of humor and animation. The space is divided into distinct areas for a variety of experiences. It's a mix of modern and traditional, sophisticated and dramatic while being warm and inviting. These include a relaxed, almost-decadent space around a brass bar with a back lit iron curtain as a backdrop. A large antipasti table offers diners a front-row view of the striking earth-stone hearth. And the main dining area illuminated by the glow of three grand and distinct, custom-made deconstructed chandeliers.
