Eleven Madison Park

The best restaurant in the world deserves my most accurate and thoughtful review. Came here as a group of 4, including one food critic. Ubiquitously, we found this dining experience one of the best in the world to our knowledge, plant-based or not combined!! I'm very confident about giving this place a 5-star rating! 1- Food: Food was absolutely delicious and healthy, and I discovered new tastes that I had never experienced in my life. The true meaning of the art of culinary! The combination of tastes and the origin of the raw materials were truly magical!! 2- Vibe: The environment is fantastic, pretty calm and relaxing! Also a lot of art work around. The music was very nice and I give the environment 10/10. 3- Pricing: for being the best restaurant in the world? Worth it! 4- Cleanness: REALLY neat and clean. Germophobe approved!! 10/10!!! From the table to floor and bathroom, everything was very neat and clean! I visited the kitchen and I was shocked how clean and organized it was! 5- Staff: super nice and friendly, and very polite and respectful! 6- Food diversity: the food was amazing with a ton of different courses. Each course had its own personality!! 100% recommend for vegans and non-vegans! Many people there weren't vegan and everyone was having an amazing time. This restaurant has my highest recommendation!

Impressive texture to each dish but flavor was too salty and overall experience lacked depth, which is sad for the price. I had heard people rave about this place before it went vegan and loved the owner’s rationale for changing it. Individually, each dish in the winter menu (went 3/29) was delicately prepared with impressive technique and tasteful, unique ingredients. The wine pairings were excellent. The bread texture was incredible (though flavor was salty), the turnip and white potato dish was the one big relief until dessert. The two small desserts were fantastic and the bright flavors were more than welcome. Together as a meal however, the salt accumulation was overpowering and decreasingly enjoyable. By the end, my tongue was nearly raw from all the salt and our tastebuds were pretty bored of mushrooms (and we love mushrooms). One dessert would have been nice as a palette cleanser mid-meal (though I’d rather have more ingredient variety and less salt overall as well). For the price, I was disappointed as we were really looking forward to it and it’s rare to be able splurge on an experience like this. Overall, appreciate what the chef is doing here but would not recommend the winter menu.

We found this restaurant from a list of best restaurants in NY. The first thing that struck us was their polished precision service. My wife who recently completed a cooking academy program kept raving about the food's craftsmanship. We were both deeply impressed. When we reached the dessert course we finally realized it's a vegan restaurant. It's our most memorable star dining experience ever.

I had heard great things and decided to book reservations to celebrate my husband and my birthdays. I wish I had read more of the honest reviews posted here...if the bread rolls and take home museli become the standouts of your dinner something has gone terribly wrong. For this price point, I had high expectations for both flavour and presentation. Like another reviewer mentioned, the overwhelming taste of salt masks any other delicate flavors presented. Not worth the price, the time, and disappointing experience. 2 stars only given to the serving staff and the freshly baked bread rolls.

Chef Daniel Humm is a culinary genius! A journey through food, conversation and senses. Loved the summer menu (not pictured) but the winter menu was a completely different experience. Highly recommend going every 6 months. Great sustainability and mission driven brand story that is sure to inspire. Cheers!

Amazing meal! I’m usually a meat eater, but I wanted to try something different and healthier. We did the bar tasting menu and it was the perfect amount of food. I personally am not a fan of 10+ courses because I leave feeling too full. The lemongrass and radish soup is probably the best soup I’ve ever tasted. They accommodated gluten free requests perfectly and we don’t feel like there was any taste sacrificed at all. I usually hate beets because beets are gross, but they made them delicious and I ate the whole meal. If you’re a meat eater that wants to be introduced to how good vegetables can be, I highly recommend coming here.

Service-Excellent Ambiance-Beautiful in the main area, underwhelming in the bar area Food-Good, but not “mind blowing, top 50 in the world” good. Value-Not really. One doesn’t shell out for a tasting menu here in search of value, but I can’t help but compare it to other tasting menus. We had 3 in one weekend, and this came out on the bottom in more than one category. I’d give it 3.5 stars if I could, but I couldn’t bring myself to give it 4.

Worth the money? Definitely not. Was it good? Yes. I’d say for the ambience and the food it’s probably worth about $150. The cauliflower and bread dish was by far my favorite. Good but not great : onion butter, fried mushroom Not great: turnips
