Angie Mar
Chef Angie Mar is renowned for her vision and unequivocally modern interpretation of classic fine dining. Her commitment to quality, ingenuity and pursuit of excellence in food and hospitality have earned her countless accolades.
She has spent the majority of her life finding new ways to fall in love with food. Early on in her childhood, she became enamored with French cuisine and tradition, and has spent the bulk of her career exploring the nuances of its cooking techniques, while integrating it with her deep rooted Chinese heritage and extensive travels.
Chef Mar’s highly anticipated second restaurant, Les Trois Chevaux, opened in July 2021 in New York’s Greenwich Village, to wide acclaim and numerous accolades, including being named Best New Restaurant in America by Esquire, Robb Report and Condé Nast Traveler.
Angie’s career in Greenwich Village has spanned the course of over 15 years. While deciding to relocate Les Trois Chevaux uptown, maintaining a presence in a beloved neighborhood was of utmost importance. Therefore, she opened Restaurant Le B. in Autumn 2023 in the original Greenwich Village location, with a sleek, downtown reimagined space.
Restaurant Le B. has quickly earned a coveted Four Stars from Forbes, and numerous Best New Restaurant titles from Condé Nast Traveler, the Financial Times, The Robb Report, and 50 Best In America from Esquire for its Bar Program.
A hallmark of Angie’s cuisine, is both refinement and elegance, and yet approachably familiar. Combining the flavors of Angier’s Asian heritage with French technique, the food remains firmly stanced in Americana, with an undeniably global perspective.
Angie is the niece of and shares the same birthday as the legendary restaurateur and politician Ruby Chow, who was widely known in the Seattle community for her tireless work in Civil Rights, equal opportunity for Asian Americans, women of color, and the LGBTQ community. Ruby was an integral figure in Angie’s early life, teaching her the values of community involvement, advancement of underrepresented groups, and charity work. Kin On Nursing Home, the Chinese Girl’s Drill Team, and City Harvest are all charities that Angie is involved with today, and the two former are legacies of the Mar & Chow Families. Angie’s father Roy, fostered her love of cooking and food, and many of her dishes today reflect his sensibilities in the kitchen. Her mother, Nancy, grew up between Taipei and Oxford, and Angie often credits her for her obsession with fashion, art, and travel. That endless curiosity for new culture has led Angie to travel the world over, spending time with some of the best restaurant industry professionals, artists and artisans in Europe, Asia, and America.
Angie’s stewardship of the Beatrice Inn began in 2013, she took over the helm of New York City’s iconic restaurant, later purchasing it from then owner Graydon Carter in 2016. Under her stewardship, her name became synonymous with the love of meat and game, and the nearly century-old restaurant went on to become one of the most coveted reservations in the city, immediately earning a glowing two-star review from The New York Times that year. She was named Food & Wine Magazine’s Best New Chef in 2017, and is a James Beard Foundation Nominee. Her innovative whiskey dry aging technique that she has developed and championed is Michelin recognized, and renowned the world over, earning her first restaurant, The Beatrice Inn, the reputation of being the standard for dry aged beef.
