La Caravelle Restaurant:
An Iconic Address in New York

La Caravelle (once located in Midtown Manhattan), the iconic NYC restaurant and symbol of the New World discovery, offered over four decades fine dining to a high-profile clientele —Kennedys and Rockefellers—and the Parisian elegance with its highly praised murals, painted by Jean Pagès (including the logo and sketch of La Caravelle ship), famous artist, former Vogue Magazine illustrator.

 Rita and André Jammet, NYC restaurants legends, owned the restaurant for its last two decades and delivered the sense of food and “saveurs” discovery, the Art of hospitality and of the table, as well as graciousness with a twist: the creation of Champagne La Caravelle in 1997, catering to the discerning palates of the world’s Who’s Who.

 After the closing of the restaurant in 2004, the nostalgic patrons requested the maintain of its acclaimed Champagne line. Today, 3 Brut Non-Vintage cuvées are produced in Epernay, honoring the Caravelle ships, symbols of discovery, as well as the ultimate food and wine experience.
