With so many options for fantastic and amazing restaurants in New York, it's sometimes hard to decide on which one to visit. We found ourselves with only a few days left on our amazing Manhattan holiday and wanted to go out with style. We had already been to two of the best restaurants in New York, and coincidentally the world, in Eleven Madison Park and Le Bernadin, so how could you top that? There are six three Michelin Starred restaurants in Manhattan, so that left four for us to choose from.

We had already been to two of the best restaurants in New York, and coincidentally the world, in Eleven Madison Park and Le Bernadin, so how could you top that? There are six three Michelin Starred restaurants in Manhattan, so that left four for us to choose from.
The Michelin guide has two ratings, one is the well known 'star' rating, but there is also the lesser known 'comfort' level. The highest rating for comfort is five ribbons and is considered 'Luxury in the traditional style' and there are only two restaurants with both the 3 star and 5 ribbons. So that left our choice between Thomas Keller's 'Per Se' and Daniel Boulin's 'Daniel'. While we really wanted to check out Per Se, at the end of a month long holiday to one of the most expensive cities in the world, and at $290 per person for food only, sanity prevailed.
Not that Daniel is inexpensive, but Daniel offers both Degustation and a la carte, which provided a much more sensible option for us. The tasting menu kicks in at $220 per person and there is a three course prix fixe a la carte option at $116. Even better, because we were booked in for an early start, there was an option of a three course prix fixe, with matching wines, for only $130 which is amazing value.
