Antique Garage Rye Opens This Thursday – A Taste of the Aegean Comes to Westchester

We are thrilled to share the exciting news—Antique Garage Rye will officially open its doors on Thursday, April 24th!

Chef Utku Cinel, the visionary behind the beloved Antique Garage SoHo and Tribeca, is bringing his soulful Aegean and Mediterranean cuisine to the heart of Rye, and we couldn’t be more excited. Housed at 100 Purchase Street, this stunning new space carries all the charm, history, and culinary artistry that has made Antique Garage a cherished NYC destination for over two decades.

We had the incredible honor of being among the very first guests to enjoy lunch in the brand-new Rye location—and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment you step inside, you’re transported. The antique-filled interiors, warm hospitality, and the unmistakable aroma of fresh seafood, herbs, and olive oil (sourced from the Cinel family’s own groves in Turkey!) promise an experience unlike any other in Westchester.

The opening of Antique Garage Rye is more than just the launch of a new restaurant—it’s the continuation of a heartfelt journey. After relocating to Connecticut with their three daughters, Utku and his wife, Evrim Cinel, dreamed of creating a space closer to home where they could share their passion for food, art, and hospitality with a new community. That dream is now a reality—and Rye is all the better for it.

Expect the same high standards and thoughtful details that define the Antique Garage experience:
✔ Fresh, never-frozen fish delivered overnight from the Aegean and Greek coasts
✔ Seasonal, locally sourced ingredients
✔ Handcrafted dishes that celebrate traditional Turkish, Greek, and Mediterranean flavors
✔ House-made olive oil straight from their grove in Northern Aegean
✔ A setting that invites celebration, connection, and maybe even a little dancing by the end of the night

Whether you’re planning a date night, a long lunch with friends, or simply craving something delicious and unique, Antique Garage Rye is ready to welcome you like family.

Make your reservations now—this is sure to become Rye’s newest hot spot.
