Eleven Madison Park | New York’s Michelin Three-Star Vegan Experience

A legendary restaurant that has held three Michelin stars since 2012. 🌸 This place has groomed many of North America’s Michelin chef teams. However, during the pandemic, it made a highly controversial decision to switch to an entirely vegan menu. 🌟 It became what many consider the world’s only vegan Michelin three-star restaurant. 🌸Online reviews are mixed—some lament the switch to vegan, while others see it as overpriced, especially given the relatively easy reservations and the hefty price tag. This has left many, including myself, hesitant yet curious: Is it a rip-off or truly deserving of its accolades? 🤔 🌇 The restaurant’s ambiance is lovely, and the service is impeccable. 🌸The wine selection is decent but nothing extraordinary—it doesn’t quite reach the level of recommendation. 🍷 The dishes are interesting: Only one dish aims to replicate the savory flavors of meat, while the others focus on fresh ingredients from their own farm, emphasizing the natural flavors of plants. As a result, most dishes rely heavily on sauces. 🏙️ Overall, the food is just okay—nothing particularly memorable or impressive. 🌿The appetizers were too acidic, and the main courses were overly salty, leaving me with more questions than answers. It felt like the most perplexing episode. 😕 It seems to be a lower-priority recommendation among Michelin three-star options. After finishing the meal, I got a quick tour of the kitchen and received a small gift. 🌺 Full course: $365 | Wine pairing: $195 #VeganRestaurant #NewYork 🌸
