Meju

Korean, Regional Cuisine · ★ Michelin

$$$$

Hiding behind a banchan shop in Long Island City, this chef’s counter is as much a classroom as it is a restaurant. Chef Hooni Kim is a worthy guide as he builds a deeply personal menu around traditional Korean ingredients that he’s been wild fermenting and aging for the last decade. Dazzling versions of doenjang, gochujang, ganjang and ssamjang shine with silky tofu, fried pancakes, Miyazaki beef and Niman Ranch pork. He brings the room together and impresses with carefully calibrated dishes that appear strikingly minimalist. Details are impressive, and many of the service pieces are handmade

Sushi Noz

$$$$

There is a certain energy that courses through this sacred space, where every detail recreates an intimate Japanese refuge. Some of the tools alone are marvels, and Chef Nozomu Abe is a meticulous and engaging craftsman. When booking, keep an eye out for his dates and time slots. Commence with dishes like grilled Norwegian king crab in a sauce mixed with Pacific cod roe, or Japanese rock oyster with rice vinegar and bonito. Miso soup is the perfect backdrop for silky-soft eel “noodles” with salted egg yolk cream and crispy tofu pieces, while sushi is jewel-like. This craft comes at a price: ex

Aquavit

scandinavian · ★★ Michelin

$$$$

Aquavit remains one of the city’s most polished expressions of contemporary Scandinavian cooking, set within a sleek dining room anchored by a striking open kitchen under Chef Emma Bengtsson. The tasting menus lean heavily into Nordic sensibilities, balancing pristine seafood, preserved elements, cultured dairy and bright seasonal produce with elegant restraint. Dishes may include beautifully cooked Norwegian langoustine with Meyer lemon sabayon and crisp shellfish tuile, or halibut paired with salt-baked celeriac and smoked whey beurre blanc. Desserts continue the restaurant’s refined style,

indian · Bib

This unassuming Indian restaurant on a quiet Sunnyside street remains a neighborhood essential. The menu is expansive and loosely pan-Indian, but the kitchen's strengths are clearest in its curries and tandoor, which arrive fresh, hot and well seasoned. The chef hails from Goa and brings particular focus to the "Indo-Portuguese" section, where dishes like lamb vindaloo stand out for their bright, vinegar-driven intensity rather than sheer heat. Elsewhere, vegetable dishes like saag paneer, lean green and restrained, letting the ingredients speak for themselves. Tandoori breads are well made, i

Café Boulud

French · ★ Michelin

$$$$

Café Boulud occupies a prime corner on the Upper East Side, where a polished Art Deco–inspired dining room sets the tone for an elegant experience. Under Executive Chef Romain Paumier, the kitchen draws on classical French foundations while incorporating seasonal and global influences. Dishes are thoughtfully composed and grounded in technique, from the classic black sea bass wrapped in potato with a rich red wine sauce to delicately balanced vegetable preparations. Desserts, such as a beautifully executed tarte Tatin, provide a fitting conclusion. With attentive service and a strong French-le

Oxomoco

$$$

Don’t let the casual ambience fool you: Oxomoco is a serious dining room capable of great things. The room is lively and packed but always conducive to conversation.Tacos are the main draw, especially when piled with the likes of chanterelle mushrooms or the catch of the day. However, this kitchen team doesn’t stick to merely one dish or area of Mexico. Instead, they reach widely across a myriad of regions, always balancing abundance with fresh and vibrant flavors. The menu thereby tempts and tantalizes with such large and small items as the tropical hamachi agua chile and tlayuda crafted from
