It all started with one restaurant.
One house, then five.
Fitzgerald was our first house. A Left Bank table, a hidden speakeasy, a certain idea of celebration, and above all, the desire to create the restaurant where we ourselves would have loved to spend time.
Then a second location arrived. Then a third. With each new house, we learned, tested, and built a common foundation around our restaurant teams: sales, events, marketing, guest relations, purchasing, food & beverage, HR, finance, technology, and data.
This foundation has become Fitz Group.
Today, our five houses each have their own personality, history, and clientele. Yet they share the same ambition: to create restaurants that people want to return to.

Making every visit to our restaurants a moment our guests want to talk about.
Growing without losing the soul of our houses.
We want to develop Fitz house by house, without standardizing what makes them charming. Our shared craft exists precisely to allow each location to remain unique while benefiting from the strength of a group.
