New York 🗽 | Hidden Gem Michelin One-Star That's Easy to Book

Estela 📍 47 E Houston St 10012 I managed to get a reservation without booking far in advance—a rare find for a Michelin one-star restaurant! The space is quite small and a bit cramped, and when I visited, it was fully packed. I highly recommend making a reservation. The dim lighting creates a cozy atmosphere perfect for enjoying a drink, but it might make it a bit challenging to get great photos. The dishes are quite innovative, and overall, I was satisfied except for the slow service. Definitely worth a visit! 🌟 OYSTERS with yuzu kosho mignonette💰$25 The combination of oysters and yuzu isn't new, but it works well as an appetizer. The yuzu kosho adds a nice twist to the classic oyster experience. 🦪 BEEF TARTARE with elderberries and sunchoke💰$25 The beef tartare is paired with elderberries and sunchoke, creating a dry yet layered texture. It's a unique take on a classic dish. 🍖 ENDIVE with walnuts, anchovy, and ubriaco Rosso💰$26 This sweet and tangy endive salad with walnuts is refreshing and palate-cleansing. The anchovy flavor is subtle, making it a light and crisp vegetable dish. The endive is sweet and crunchy, and it's a must-order at almost every table. Highly recommended! 🥬 #NewYork #NYCFood #HiddenGems 🌇🌟
