La Grenouille (French for "The Frog") was a French restaurant at 3 East 52nd Street between Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Founded in 1962 by former Henri Soulé apprentice Charles Masson Sr. and his wife Gisèle, later with sons Philippe and Charles, La Grenouille became a location of choice among New York, U.S., and eventually international diners, including designers from the nearby Garment District of Manhattan.
The restaurant announced in September 2024 that it would close permanently. When the closure was announced, La Grenouille was the last operating New York French haute cuisine restaurant from the 1960s, and it remained a highly rated restaurant. Staff at La Grenouille were represented by UNITE HERE Local 100.
