Le Bernardin

Le Bernardin: New York

Recently added to the 2014 International Five-Star Restaurants honours list, Le Bernardin holds several records in New York: it received its four star review from The New York Times only three months after opening and is the only New York four star restaurant that has maintained its status of excellence for more than 20 years.

Le Bernardin has received more James Beard Awards than any other restaurant in New York City. In 1998, Maguy Le Coze won the coveted James Beard Award for “Outstanding Restaurant" in America, and in May 2003 Eric Ripert was named “Outstanding Chef" by the James Beard Foundation.

In 2009, Le Bernardin was honored with the James Beard Award for “Outstanding Wine Service," and most recently, in 2012, it received the award for “Best Restaurant Design." The Michelin Guide, which made its New York debut in 2005, honored Chef Ripert and Le Bernardin with its highest rating of three stars in 2005 and each year thereafter, and the restaurant ranks 19 on the S. Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants list.

The New York Zagat Guide has recognized Le Bernardin as top rated in the category of “Best Food" for the last eight consecutive years and the 2011, 2012 and 2013 editions awarded Le Bernardin a 29 food rating: the highest in New York City and the first restaurant to earn this since 1996. In the 2012 and 2013 Zagat Guide, Le Bernardin is named the most popular restaurant in the city. New York Magazine also rated Le Bernardin #1 in its annual ranking of the 101 best restaurants in New York City in 2006.

In his year-end dining feature, Frank Bruni of The New York Times selected Le Bernardin as the “Best Meal of 2008."
