Eleven Madison Park is a fine dining restaurant located in the heart of New York City. The restaurant overlooks Madison Square Park, one of the most beautiful parks in Manhattan, and sits at the base of a historic Art Deco building on the corner of East 24th Street and Madison Avenue. Located here since 1998, it underwent a full-scale renovation and redesign in the summer of 2017.
The restaurant has been owned by Chef Daniel Humm since 2011 and during that time it has evolved considerably, both in food and in experience. Our tasting, five-course, and bar menus consist of entirely plant-based dishes. Guests can also visit the bar for light snacks, or simply for a cocktail or glass of wine.

The waiter makes a great show with another course, this time presented in an enormous tagine. He pours hot water into the funnel and marvels to see steam pouring from the neck.
Then a slimy mess of tofu and some scrapings from a green vegetable. Can it get any worse?
Finally - and this was the best part - a crispy yellow crust like a small saucer is served, perched over a plop of ice cream.
By this time we are starving. But what to do? We paid in advance for this showy nonsense which bears a very close resemblance to a fraud.
A word of advice. Save your money and eat out elaswhere.
