A SoHo original since 2003.
Rooted in Aegean recipes, antique charm, and a love for making people feel at home.
From hand-picked chandeliers to dishes passed down through generations, every detail invites you to stay a little longer.
Introducing you to a place that feels discovered, not designed.
Set among SoHoβs cast-iron corners, Antique Garage blends the flavors of the Mediterranean with the mood of old New Yorkβdim lighting, vintage charm, and jazz in the air. It's not just a dinner spot, itβs a feeling: lived-in, candlelit, and quietly unforgettable. A downtown original, made for nights that donβt follow a script.
Our Story
Antique Garage SoHo began in 2003, when chef and founder Utku Cinel reimagined a forgotten mechanicβs garage as a place for food, music, and memory. The menu draws from his Aegean rootsβfamily recipes, seasonal ingredients, and a deep respect for where each dish comes from. What we serve is personal: plates meant to be shared, flavors that linger, and a space where every detail has a story.
Private Events
Host your next gathering in a space that feels like old New Yorkβintimate, candlelit, and full of charm. With live jazz and vintage warmth, itβs ideal for romantic dinners, birthdays, or simply dressing up for the kind of night where life is the occasion.
