Eric Ripert's three-Michelin-star seafood temple in Midtown — the most precise fish cookery in America
Le Bernardin has held three Michelin stars since 2005 and has not given anyone a reason to question them. Eric Ripert's seafood kitchen on 51st Street operates with the calm precision that great cooking requires: fish is sourced at the highest level, treated with restraint, and plated with the conviction that the ocean provides enough complexity without interference. The 'Barely Touched' preparations — thin slices of fish dressed with olive oil, citrus, and one complementary element — are the most direct expression of the kitchen's philosophy. The tasting menu is the correct way to eat here. For a certain kind of formal dinner in New York, Le Bernardin remains the answer.
