Daniel vs Le Bernardin
Eric Ripert’s exquisite French seafood menu at Le Bernardin has pleased countless critics for over two decades. Boulod’s Daniel, our currently ranked #1 NYC restaurant, also offers heavily praised French fare. Both restaurants feature elegant aesthetics, but Daniel’s Venetian theme adds a bit of glitz and glamor to the experience.

"Why go to Daniel? Because you owe it to yourself to experience the real thing at least once. French haute-cuisine restaurants are vanishing from New York, but Daniel, on the Upper East..."

"If this very grown-up Midtown place remains the one to beat despite astronomical prices and what many consider a too-sedate corporate decor, it's because of Ripert's always-evolving menu."

"Dining doesn't get much more "blissful" than at this "sublime" Midtown French seafooder via Maguy Le Coze and chef Eric Ripert."

"Eric Ripert is more likely to be globetrotting than preparing the orange vinaigrette that tops your warm lobster carpaccio, but seasoned staff knows its way around the fruits of the sea."
