Meaning “second born” in Balinese, Ma•dé is an Indonesian restaurant by Chef Cédric Vongerichten, his wife Ochi Latjuba Vongerichten & their friend and business partner Ezra J. William. ​ Drawing inspiration from the coastal province of West Sumatra, Indonesia, Ma•dé is in the heart of SoHo at 22 Spring Street just next door from their beloved first restaurant Wayan (which translates to “first born”). At Ma•dé, diners can experience Padang-style dining, a unique culinary experience where dishes are served family-style, all at once. The menu is influenced by Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine, and consists of three main elements: gulai (curry), lado (chili pepper), and bareh (rice), and often uses coconut milk and spicy chili. Traditionally eaten with hands (though utensils are welcome), Padang at Ma•dé emphasizes sharing and connection over bold flavors.
