Five Must-See Restaurants
Top restaurants in cosmopolitan neighbourhoods work to create a cool vibe with exceptional menus to satisfy the taste buds of food aficionados.
We've outlined five must-see eateries that have been creating quite the buzz recently.
ALINEA, Chicago
Topping the Elite Traveler’s Top 100 restaurant list is Alinea. The only three Michelin star restaurant in Chicago. Owned by master molecular gastro-nomist Grant Achatz, Grant is known for his excellent preparations of classic flavours.
He says,“It’s always nice to be recognized by your industry or your guests at the restaurant. It’s always good for morale. Although we can’t base our existence on accolades and recognition, it’s nice to have some reassurance that you’re doing the right thing and that people like what you’re doing.”
Since opening its doors nine years back, Alinea has achieved tremendous accolades and has continued its excellence in providing a culinary experience far from the norm. Jessizack, from Houston, Texas, quoted on tripadvisor.ca, “The food at Alinea is fabulous. It is better than Wd~50 and other molecular gastronomy places in the US. Not only is each dish beautiful and an unexpected combination of flavors and textures but the presentation is also very interactive.”
With an ever changing innovative platter, this award winning restaurant recent added ballon, helium and green apple to its wonderful creations.
DANIEL, NYC
A favourite with both locals and visitors, Daniel serves scrumptious french food with seasonal American flavors. Daniel Boulud’s eponymous restaurant, splendid architecture, impeccable service and delicious food makes it a favourite place to dine in New York.
THE FAT DUCK, England
Another Restaurant that specializes in molecular Gastronomy, The Fat Duck is one of the only four restaurants to have earned Michelin three star in England. The top picks on the menu are Snail Porridge, Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, Jelly of Quail and Crayfish Cream which showcases the creative scientific approach towards food sold here.
ELEVEN MADISON PARK, NYC
Since famed Swiss chef Daniel Humm joined Eleven Madison Park, the restaurant has accumulated a number of stars and accolades under his guidance.
With a multi-course tasting menu, dining at Eleven Madison Park is as elaborate as it gets. With the many choices of French delicacies, the restaurant’s contemporary French vibe and cuisine is an unforgettable experience.
LE BERNARDIN, NYC
If seafood is what you prefer, then Le Bernardin should be on your must-see restaurant list. Experience delectable underwater delicacies makes Le Bernardin completely gratifying. Sautéed Merluza, Wild Striped Bass, Pan Roasted Filet Mignon add to the perfect ambrosial menu. With an elaborate menu, Le Bernardin offers everything for seafood lovers.
