Cafe Chambord

Cafe Chambord was an American restaurant that served French haute cuisine. Original owner was Roger Chauveron who opened it in 1936 then sold it in 1950 to move to Deviat Charente France.

History

The Chambord was opened in 1936.[1] It was located at 803 Third Avenue before moving to 5 East 55th Street in 1963; it closed in August 1964.[2]

Ownership

By the mid-1950s, the Chambord was co-owned by Henry Margolis, a New York entrepreneur and theatrical producer, and his partner Phil Rosen, who ran the restaurant on a daily basis. Margolis was often seen there entertaining theatrical friends like Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten, Margaret Sullavan and Martin Gabel.
