New York City – Le Bernadin
Le Bernadin has brought top-rated seafood to New York City’s richest foodies for over two decades. While this isn’t a sushi joint, chef Eric Ripert insists that each meal be minimally cooked, hardly fiddled with and relatively raw! This staple of New York cuisine enjoys three Michelin Stars, well deserving of its place as a household name. The sampling menu here costs $225 a head, well worth the charge with its historical delights.
New York City – Jean-Georges
Jean-Georges Vongerichten is the proud owner of various leading restaurants across the globe, but the restaurant tycoon and chef calls “Jean-Georges” his crown jewel. With two Michelin Stars and a rather irregular positioning, this restaurant brings current haute cuisine to the New York fine dining scene like no other joint. Jean-George’s exclusive menu goes for $238 a head, well worth the adventure for such opulent French dining.
