Minetta Tavern is one of New York City’s most iconic restaurants. It is a French restaurant that has both a tavern and a fine dining feel. You feel like you are stepping back in time when eating here. They are known for many items, but the Minetta Tavern bone marrow, and the Minetta Tavern black label burger are two of the most iconic dishes there.
Last time we had the black label burger and it was fantastic! It’s one of the best burgers in NYC in my opinion! But they are also very much known for their steak. While they are called a tavern, they have an impressive selection of dry-aged steaks! The Minetta Tavern côte de boeuf is frequently cited as one of the best steaks in NYC, but today we try their dry aged New York strip steak and see how it stands up against the best steakhouses in NYC.
This is a French restaurant, and to me I will always think of it as more of a French restaurant than a standalone steakhouse. With so many great steakhouses in Manhattan alone though, is Minetta Tavern really all it’s cracked up to be when it comes to steak? Or is it just getting praise because of its atmosphere and history? We’ll find out together!

Great video as always! I do find it odd that a restaurant in 2024 would be against filming inside. The way to get new customers these days is social media. People in their 20s and 30s aren't reading food and travel guides!
i cant lie the black label burger is just so simple but good at the same time. it has such a strong dry aged flavor along with the caramelized onions. Definitely one of my favorite burgers out there if youre willing to cough up the money.
22 dollars for onion soup, those onions must be from pure gold or what?
Glad you made it all the way through this time. They asked us to stop filming too so at least they're consistent! We tried their seasonal ribeye which was amazing as well. Outstanding restaurant but tough for us YouTubers!
If the face don't squint, the place ain't sh!t
Finally, a restaurant that appreciates a solo diner. I love it!
Food portions and quality look great for the price as well
Ugh, the fact they made you stop filming I’m probably never going to try it.
Eat that fatty bite UA! FATTY BITE FATTY BITE FATTY BITE.
That stack of bone marrow was definitely worth the price of admission.
Nice crust on the NY strip… yums! Only reason I watch your vids is for the honesty, never lose that.
love your reviews, great channel! minetta was my favorite steak in the city before i found Rocco. check them out on madison, btw 27th and 28th
I did the Marrow and the Black Label Burger. The home made pickles got my attention too. Overall good.
Minetta and Peter Lugers are my two favorites.
The face this guy makes when hes eating makes you think the food was horrible lol

You are getting too famous lol. They know you😂
My favorite area of nyc. Miss it
Your efforts are appreciated, UA! The ability to vicariously participate in the dining experience is so much better than the alternative, too.
Great vid as always. Minetta was ten minutes from my office and as such I was there many times. Great spot!!! Down the block there was Tomoe sushi which was absolutely outstanding. Around the corner Blue Note for some jazzy entertainment. All in all great location!
A note to you: As a video creator you have to respect others. Not everyone wants to be filmed. Not every restaurant will allow filming as to protect the privacy of their patrons. It's not a given freedom to do whatever we want…Respect others and you will be respected.
The steak would be more tender if you cut it correctly. You should probably know this buddy.
Please try halal carts again! Or Adele’s famous again, thank you I love your videos
UA come to Australia.
