The Best Michelin-starred Restaurants in New York

So heaven is made of plantsThis legendary 3 Michelin star institution turned to plant based only (vegan) a couple of years ago, maintaining its stars and position as one of the world’s best restaurants. Serving only a tasting menu consisting of 10 unbelievable and innovative dishes. Makes you wonder, how this all is possible from plants only. One of the most amazing culinary experiences of my life. Future? Time will tell. Wonderful wine list and service. Worth the 380 $ if you compare the price to other top NYC institutions.

One of the most celebrated fine-dining restaurants in NYC.This three-star Michelin restaurant offers a French and globally influenced menu with a focus on seafood. With Chef Eric Ripert at the helm for over two decades, the restaurant has become world-renowned for its exceptional hospitality and expertly executed dishes. If you're looking for an outstanding classic fine-dining experience in New York, Le Bernardin should be high up on your list.

For special occasion, you can’t beat this 3 michelin starred restaurant. Their signature dish, oyster & pearl, is total indulgence. They give you 6 different types of salts to taste with your food. And their Fois gras is out of this world yummy.

One of the best Japanese restaurants in NYC, love the food, the ambience and the great service. Nice selection of great sake.

I have always loved Korean food but thought it was only limited to bbq. Didn’t know there was so much more to Korean food until Jungsik. And have never seen or tasted such an exquisite meal from start to finish, hands down the best tasting menu ever. It was beyond a delicious meal. It was creative, luxurious, authentic yet next-level foods. We were blown away.

Chef James Kent’s spectacular fine dining restaurant on the 63rd floor of an Art deco building.This is chef James Kent’s fine dining restaurant, that he opened after his first place, Crown Shy. Saga is located on the 63rd floor of the Art Deco building at 70 Pine Street, with Crown Shy at the street level. The view from the restaurant is for sure one of the best in NYC and there’s a beautiful cocktail bar and an outdoor terrace. James Kent’s menu is a spectacular multi course seasonal tasting menu that they change quite often.

Very nice ambience and wonderful service. A wine list that really appealed to me. The food was fantastic. Complex dishes with delicate taste and density.

Another power couple I think are doing amazing stuff is Ellia and JP Park. They've been very brave to go outside Korea and start a little restaurant empire in New York and what they've achieved has not been easy. The flavors and everything else is perfect in their restaurant. I really believe they are one-of-a-kind.

Like walking into Japan off the streets of New York.Beautiful experience. Like walking into Japan off the streets of New York. Top quality ingredients are prepared with extreme precision. Probably the best sushi in NYC right now!

Well executed and thoughtful small dishes by Ignacio Mattos and great vibe in Nolita. Estela in Nolita has been open for almost 10 years, but it’s still one of my favorites on the New York dining scene. The kitchen, led by Ignacio Mattos, is doing amazing small dishes, kind of tapas style. It's well executed, thoughtful and looks very simple, but there's so many different flavors and textures going on in the same dish. And also a really good wine list, and the vibe is great. I would always order the endive salad and also the beef tartare with sunchokes is amazing.

Michelin level Southern Indian Cuisine Stunningly precise and delicious flavors from Chef Vijay Kumar. Casual comfort food utilizing fantastic ingredients and skillful technique.

Some of the best pasta in NYC. Truly one of the best.Some of the best pasta in NYC - simple, but incredibly well executed and absolutely delicious. And it has service and a wine list to match. Truly one of the best.

My favorite sushi spot in NYC, chef Shion Uino's place is like a typical Japanese sushiya. Love the sea urchin tasting.New York has been known for a lot of expensive high end sushi, including Sushi Noz, Masa and Yoshino. But my personal favorite sushi spot in New York is Shion 69 Leonard Street. It has the style of a typical Japanese sushiya and is run by chef Shion Uino. One of his specialties is uni tastings, where he, depending on the season, serves 3-4 different types of sea urchins that he’s sourcing from Japan or from Maine or the West coast. The tasting is amazing.

Amazing new American cuisine by James Kent, in the Financial District.At Crown Shy chef James Kent, who used to work at Eleven Madison Park, is cooking some amazing new American cuisine. It’s located on the ground floor of an art deco landmark tower in the Financial district. On the 63rd floor is restaurant Saga, also by James Kent, which is a restaurant more into fine dining.

Masterclass in unique flavors and techniqueA seminal addition to a scene already rife with top flight restaurants. Quiet sensibilities of an ex Robuchon chef show — and eat — on the plate. Turbot was faultless, sauces are bright but don't lance, and the seasoning pitch perfect. The Michelin star is well deserved — and then some.

Dirt Candy is a must-visit restaurant for vegetarians in Lower Manhattan. Amanda Cohen and her team create imaginative "fine dining-ish" dishes that please both the eye and the palate.The seats by the bar overlooking the open kitchen are fantastic.
