OPUS Hospitality Group is a dynamic New York-based restaurant development and management firm founded in 2024. Born out of the infrastructure of Legeard Studio, a renowned hospitality design firm, and OPUS Interior, a respected development firm, OPUS was created to bring incredible design and craftsmanship into its own restaurant concepts. With a focus on creating impactful culinary brands and neighborhood destinations, OPUS is committed to shaping dining experiences that resonate with both local communities and visitors. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant New York City dining scene, the company blends innovative concepts with a deep understanding of its audience, ensuring each project is not only a culinary experience but also a hub for connection.

In addition to its development and management expertise, OPUS offers comprehensive consulting services to help restaurateurs and investors navigate the complexities of the restaurant industry. Whether it’s concept creation, operational optimization, or brand positioning, OPUS provides tailored solutions to bring visionary ideas to life.

The firm’s first venture will be the re-imagination of the iconic "The Paris Cafe" at the South Street Seaport—a beloved New York institution. With a modern twist on its historic charm, this revitalized destination will pay homage to its legacy while introducing a fresh, vibrant energy that reflects OPUS’s approach to blending tradition with innovation.
In addition to this exciting debut, OPUS Hospitality has recently taken over the food and beverage operations at the Hyatt Union Square, further expanding its portfolio. The firm is also preparing to launch three new concepts this year, including a fresh Italian concept on 55th Street in Midtown and an elegant cocktail bar on Christopher Street, continuing its mission to create destination-worthy experiences that shape the future of New York’s dynamic culinary landscape. Through these ventures, OPUS Hospitality Group aims to set a new standard in the city’s restaurant scene, creating lasting impressions and fostering a true sense of community.
