Located in the heart of Manhattan, Gaia opened its doors in November 2024, offering a soulful blend of Mediterranean cuisine, rich history, and heartfelt hospitality. But Gaia is more than a restaurant — it’s a tribute to culture, resilience, and the power of coming together.

Housed in a historic building constructed in 1903, Gaia preserves original architectural details including century old window glass and over 100-year old flooring, offering a rare sense of character and timeless charm. These elements connect the past with the present, reminding us that history when cherished, can make even the most modern moments feel grounded and meaningful that carry the soul of the past and bring a unique charm to the dining experience.

Our Story

At Gaia, our cuisine is a celebration of the Mediterranean, where sun-soaked coastlines, fresh ingredients, and time-honored traditions come together on every plate. Rooted in simplicity and elevated with creativity, our menu honors the bold, vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean with a modern twist that’s uniquely our own.

Gaia offers a healthier, cleaner approach to Mediterranean cooking. Without butter or flour, we rely on olive oil, fresh herbs, and seasonal vegetables sourced from local farms. Our fish is flown directly from the Mediterranean, ensuring exceptional quality and authenticity in every dish.

From small plates to pastas, whole fish, grilled meats, and seasonal greens, our menu reflects both restraint and richness. It’s a balance of land and sea, tradition and innovation.

Whether you’re sharing mezze with friends, enjoying a quiet dinner, or exploring our wine and cocktail list, Gaia invites you to slow down, savor, and experience the soul of the Mediterranean.
