Le Bernardin

Among the very best restaurants in New York, Le Bernardin creates a lasting memory of excellence. The dinner menu by chef Eric Ripert consists of exquisitely prepared seafood divided into sections titled Almost Raw, Barely Touched or Lightly Cooked. The dinner tasting menus give the full experience, while lunch can also be a splendid, and well-priced, option. Dining among New York's business elite, you’ll find the setting to be elegant and formal. The service is refined, yet warmly human. The Dover sole is majestic and satisfying, served as a filet which is paired with a luxurious and light creamy mousseline sauce. Highly recommended is the extraordinary tuna carpaccio with foie gras. An artistic signature of the kitchen, the carpaccio and its delightful plating is more akin to a Picasso artwork than to a mere plate of fish. An essential New York restaurant for any seafood lover.
