Sirio Maccioni’s infamous Le Cirque is shaking up the ordering options in its cafe, dining room and wine lounge. From now on, meals in the formal dining room are prix fixe–only for lunch and dinner; à la carte ordering remains available only in the cafe and wine lounge. The lunch prix fixe costs $45 and includes three courses, meanwhile dinner diners can choose between either a three-course meal for $92 or a four-course meal for $120 ($170 with paired wines). At the less formal cafe and wine lounge (where jeans are permitted and no jacket is required), there is a two-course lunch available for $28 and a three-course dinner for $48.
