The newest and fifth location of Maison Kayser opened last week on the Upper East Side. Featuring 120 seats and an extended coffee bar, it opened with a seasonal menu including chilled soups and Provençal dishes such as Mozzarella and Olive Tapenade Tartine, a Melon & Serrano ham appetizer, and new cocottes such as a Braised Lamb casserole. Master baker Yann Ledoux has created breads for the summer, including crusty, thin ficelles and buckwheat kalamata bread.
