NYC Restaurant Week | Gorgeous Fine Dining at a Michelin-Starred Spot

Last Friday night, I enjoyed another Restaurant Week meal—nothing beats a beautiful weekend dinner in summer! This time, I visited Ai Fiori, an Italian-French fusion fine dining restaurant on Fifth Avenue that used to hold a Michelin star. The experience was delightful! The decor is elegant, the Restaurant Week menu felt thoughtfully designed, and the desserts were absolutely amazing. At $60 for three courses, it’s definitely worth it! 👏 🔥 Appetizer: We both ordered the Beef Tartare. The portion was generous, and the seasoned raw beef paired perfectly with crispy baguette slices and tangy pickles—light and refreshing! 🥩🍞 🔥 Main Course: The 6-Hour Braised Short Rib was incredibly aromatic and tender—truly excellent braised meat! The accompanying corn side was also delicious. Another standout was the Campanelle Pasta—a summer special that completely won me over. Even though it’s meatless, the flavors were outstanding, and the addition of pistachios added a perfect crunch. I loved it so much that I started planning how to recreate it at home! 😂 🔥 Dessert: The Hazelnut Chocolate Cake was a dream for this chocolate lover—so refined and delicious that I didn’t want to share even a bite with my boyfriend! 🍫❤️ 📍 Ai Fiori 📍 Using Inkind Pay, you can get 20% cash back—making this Michelin-level meal just $48!
