KG-NY Group is a New York City–based hospitality company founded in 2000 by chef-owner Kurt Gutenbunner. It manages a curated portfolio that interweaves Austrian-German cuisine, wine, art, and culture across its venues. Wallsé Restaurant presents modern takes on traditional Austrian dishes and holds a Michelin star, highlighting the group’s focus on refined, technique-driven cooking. Café Sabarsky, housed inside the Neue Galerie on the Upper East Side, channels the Viennese café tradition with authentic pastries, cakes, and specialty beverages in a setting tied to art and intellectual history. Another concept in the portfolio is Upholstery Store: Food and Wine, located at the same corner as Wallsé in the West Village, offering an intimate dining experience centered on seafood and pasta, complemented by a global wine list and inventive cocktails. The group serves diners seeking high-quality, culturally informed experiences that blend cuisine with art and heritage. As a small, boutique operator within New York City’s hospitality landscape, KG-NY Group maintains a focused footprint across its venues.
