- EL Ideas★ Michelin Channeling all the ease of an underground dinner party, Chef Phillip Foss invites guests into his literal home (he lives upstairs). There is but one seating, everyone is served at the same time, and people are encouraged to bring as much wine as they want. The warehouse space feels most like a test kitchen, and guests can wander about, explore the pantry, and practically stand next to the chefs as they cook and plate. The cuisine is creative, starting with a shrimp cocktail croquette with shrimp snow that must be licked off the plate. Maybe there’s a play on oysters Rockefeller or maybe there'12.4km
- Smyth★★★ MichelinWorld's 50 Best #4 Smyth offers a polished yet welcoming dining experience, where chefs John Shields and Karen Urie-Shields present a highly personal and ingredient-driven tasting menu. The open kitchen and warm, understated room create an atmosphere that's both refined and relaxed. The cooking is thoughtful with a focus on seasonal products: ingredients are thoughtfully sourced, including elements foraged or gathered locally. Dishes are creative without excess, showcasing a clear point of view while allowing the ingredients to remain at the forefront. A meal here reflects both technical mastery and a distinctiv15.5km
- Birrieria ZaragozaBib Note: This restaurant is temporarily closed.This Mexican institution specializes in a single item—birria—tender, stewed goat accompanied by diced onions, cilantro, and house-made salsa. In fact, goat is all that’s on the menu, though you’ll get a few options as to how to enjoy it: on a plate or in a bowl, in a small or large portion, bone-in or bone-out. Opt for bone-in if possible, as it packs far more flavor. The bowl option drowns the goat in a generous dose of hearty goat consommé, while the plate is accompanied by handmade corn tortillas for build-your-own tacos, with a small side of cons8.5km
- Kasama★★ Michelin Drawing its name, fittingly, from the Tagalog word for “together,” Kasama unites the culinary talents (and fine dining pedigrees) of husband-and-wife team Tim Flores and Genie Kwon. Flores's background provides inspiration for this modern interpretation of Filipino cuisine, while Kwon’s pastry training elevates the sweet side of things. In a simple space, the two cook with striking originality. Homey traditional preparations are reimagined in elegant, inventive ways, as in an “adobo” of mussels and wild mushrooms that balances tangy, sweet and savory. Bold, original sauces like peanut with shr15.3km
- Ever★★ Michelin Ever sits on a quiet stretch of Fulton Market, where Chef Curtis Duffy runs a world of his own making. Venetian plaster, subdued lighting and a minimalist design set the tone for a dramatic, carefully staged room, where tables are spaciously spaced and service is precisely choreographed. This attention to detail carries through to the cuisine, which is technically accomplished and visually refined. Dishes are thoughtfully constructed, often combining multiple elements and textures with a clear emphasis on structure and presentation. The cooking shows a high level of control, with compositions 15.6km
- Feld★ Michelin It may be in the city—Chicago's Ukrainian Village neighborhood, to be specific—but Feld is focused on the farm, sourcing most products from within a four-hour radius. Their passion is clear, and all eyes are trained on the kitchen team as they work in the center of the room. Chicago native Chef Jacob Potashnick highlights in-season products, and the same ingredient may be highlighted in different forms, like raw asparagus with a cured lemon emulsion, tempura fried or as a juice accompanying fresh cheese, or in main dishes like poached Maine halibut with a maitake mushroom purée, maitake mushro14.9km
- Oriole★★ Michelin Guests enter this former warehouse through a converted freight elevator, a testament to Oriole’s unique brand of elegance, further exemplified by the striking ceiling collage above the spotless open kitchen. Chef Noah Sandoval and team execute a thoughtful tasting menu that blends French and Japanese elements. Small bites in the impressive bar are accompanied by a welcome drink, and might include a tartlet of Dungeness crab or Hokkaido uni. Then, a mouthwatering canapé of foie gras parfait with pickled strawberries is served overlooking the impressive open kitchen watching the kitchen team in 16.7km
- Elske★ Michelin Elske delivers a thoughtful, seasonally driven experience from Chefs David Posey and Anna Posey. The restaurant pairs a relaxed dining room with a charming patio, creating a calm and inviting setting. Guests may choose between a set tasting menu and an à la carte offering, both reflecting the kitchen’s ingredient-focused approach and subtle Danish influences. Dishes highlight vegetables, seafood and gently handled proteins. Items such as duck liver tart with salted ramp and composed vegetable dishes illustrate the kitchen’s style, where flavors are clean and thoughtfully layered without excess15.4km
- Next★ Michelin Whether you come to experience the cuisine of ancient Rome or Hollywood, a meal here is pure dinner theater. These culinary themes are unique and thoughtful, leaving diners wondering what's "next."While an earlier Italia menu showcased complex ingredients and flawless flavors and textures (think cacio e pepe and guanciale-wrapped branzino), the most recent "Paris 1906" culinary theme showcased celebrated French chef Auguste Escoffier's classic cuisine. Highlights included carrè d’agneau avec sauce choron, a well-executed plate of lamb and crispy sweetbreads with a vibrant sauce choron. The the16.2km
- Schwa★ Michelin Schwa is like a punky teenager who refuses to grow up. Year after year, the restaurant sticks to its guns with no servers, rap music booming overhead, and wildly imaginative, over-the-top cooking. Its divisiveness and fiercely independent spirit are memorable. As for what might come out of this kitchen, it’s anybody’s guess. How about gumbo but serve it chilled, aerated, and with a blue crab chip dotted with hoja santa aioli? A flaky, buttery cinnamon tart shell could arrive filled with foie gras ice cream and apples. Medallions of quail might be dusted in jerk seasoning and plated with onion 16.4km
