Jean-Georges

Flawlessly executed French fare
VERIFIED LUXURY
The minimalist dining room at the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Jean-Georges restaurant defines sexy — it reminds us of an extra-large egg, thanks to the curved white seating, soft round lighting, pale white walls and sheer drapes. Housed inside Trump International Hotel & Tower New York, the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star restaurant has a soaring ceiling and windows that contribute to the delicate, airy feeling.

But that's as far as your attention will veer from the real star of the show: Jean-Georges Vongerichten's ethereal Asian-influenced French cuisine (lobster tartine with a lemongrass and fenugreek broth; young garlic soup with frog's legs). Vongerichten is a master at layering flavor, making each bite a hit parade of taste — striking you first with smoky, grilled sea bass, chasing it with tartly acidic ruby red grapefruit juice, then following with peppery-sweet caramelized radishes. Savor his flawless technique in a three-course meal or a seven-course procession of signature dishes.

  • If you want to dine at Jean-Georges, we highly recommend making a reservation. As one of the most renowned French eateries in New York City, the dining hot spot suggests making preparations in advance with a phone call or online reservations at OpenTable.
  • You can order from the restaurant's three-course, signature or seasonal tasting dinner menus. With either selection, expect plating to be minimal, yet elegant, allowing the essence of the ingredients to shine through.

  • A darling of critics and foodies alike, Vongerichten receives credit for helping reinvent classic French food using fresh juices and light broths rather than heavy butter and cream sauces.
