Daniel vs Per Se
Per Se and Daniel are both considered among the very best restaurants in NYC by professional reviewers; and both represent the crème-de-la-crème of haute French cuisine. Boulod’s Daniel is located on the Upper East Side and features a stately, Venetian themed interior.Thomas Keller of French Laundry fame heads Per Se, located at Columbus Circle near Central Park. While both have outstanding scores and creative tasting menus that won’t disappoint, Daniel is ranked #1 by our expert critics.

"A tasting menu for two at superchef Thomas Keller's plushly impersonal 16-table dining room overlooking Columbus Circle will last three hours and set you back a cool 500 clams."
