In an exciting development for Montauk's vibrant dining scene, Gosman's Dock has officially entered into a partnership with Bagatelle Group, a premier French hospitality brand renowned for its luxurious restaurants and beach clubs. This collaboration is set to redefine dining experiences at the historic Gosman's Dock, focusing on curating offerings that celebrate the region's rich maritime heritage and culinary excellence.
Gosman's Dock, a beloved landmark known for its picturesque waterfront setting, has been a staple of the Montauk lifestyle for decades. Owner Stephen Deckoff expressed his enthusiasm for this new collaboration, highlighting Bagatelle's unique understanding of local communities. "This collaboration is focused on embracing the qualities that made Gosman's a mainstay of the Montauk lifestyle scene through preservation over renovation," he stated. The goal is not only to maintain the charm and character of the property but also to enhance its appeal through innovative dining experiences.
The partnership comes as Gosman's prepares to reopen its highly anticipated restaurant and fish market for the 2025 season. Under the guidance of Bagatelle Group, the venue will be revitalized while remaining true to its roots. Remi Laba, co-founder and chairman of Bagatelle, expressed excitement about honoring the legacy of this family-owned establishment. “We aim to enhance the charming features that come from knowing this incredible space intimately," he said, emphasizing that the enhancement will not detract from the restaurant's historical essence but instead elevate the dining offerings for new and returning visitors.
Planning is already in progress for a new Gosman's Dock experience, which is scheduled to debut in time for the summer season. This evolution will feature a design curated by the celebrated designer Sam Baron, promising stunning, unobstructed views of the legendary Montauk Harbor. Guests can look forward to culinary creations spearheaded by Corporate Chef Rocco Seminara and a team of culinary masters focused on locally-sourced seafood derived from Gosman's own fish market. The menu is set to include an array of delightful lunch and dinner options, complemented by special brunch offerings on weekends.
In addition to its commitment to high-quality offerings that patrons have come to expect, Bagatelle Group is prioritizing fresh, locally caught ingredients for the menu. Laba explained the significance of freshness and community values stating, "We're investing in the details that we know matter most, like being able to eat something fresh that you know was caught earlier that day.” The emphasis on relaxed yet elevated dining experiences is in alignment with what many locals and visitors cherish about Montauk.
Bagatelle's venture into Montauk has been a thoughtful endeavor, taking over a decade to ensure they found the right opportunity that resonated with the area's essence. The team's commitment to respecting Montauk’s values underscores their dedication to not just a restaurant, but a vibrant community hub.
With over 15 establishments worldwide, Bagatelle Group is expanding its footprint and aims to make a lasting impact on Montauk's culinary landscape. The partnership with Gosman's Dock exemplifies their vision of upscale dining infused with a sense of place—celebrating the spirit of the South of France while embodying Montauk's unique charm.
For guests and residents alike, the upcoming summer promises not just a return to a cherished locale, but an elevated experience that honors the past while looking forward to the future.
