As part of my journey to try every spot on the New York Times Top 100 list, I visited Daniel, one of NYC’s most prestigious Michelin-starred French restaurants. Helmed by Chef Daniel Boulud, a culinary legend known for his impeccable technique and innovative approach to French cuisine, Daniel is renowned for its elegant tasting menu and exceptional service. Every dish was crafted with precision and artistry, making it a truly unforgettable dining experience. Is it worth the hype and the price? Watch to find out!

I wish Daniel came to our table :/
AMOUCHE BOUCHE 😭
The chocolate dessert looks insane!
Amazing
Le Bernadin is better, and by a lot imo.
Faaancy 1 star
1 star like bad or like 1 michelin star
From what I can see, there were far more desserts… for that price, you better be serving me some damn good meat dishes! Sadly, the main dishes did not look appetizing.
I'll bet you were still hungry after 5 tiny size courses. $230 per person for those foo foo portions is insane.
Ate dinner at Daniel years ago, and had a similar experience. I don’t know why, but it seems that quite a few high-end restaurants have more interesting appetizers and desserts than mains. Daniel is a beautiful restaurant, but with so many other excellent dining options in NYC I feel no need to return.
You need a writing class or something. Weak verbs and limp adjectives. Spice it up!
I love Daniel.visited it a month ago but I believe La Bernardin it’s a bit better
I absolutely love this feature. It would be great if the NY Times did a write up about it.
$500 💀
If you eat fois gras you’re a shit person
Too fancy for me
Since I'm the only pro cook commenting & these are mainly bot replies it gets dry from that perfectionism of plating. Especially when we're adding flowers..it just sits longer than it needs to..
You and your partner should go out with Pete Wells at one of these restaurants!!
Just a note, miss, Foie Gras is pronounced fwa gra. Good job otherwise
Love dining at the bar here
