Per Se - New York (NY)

5 /5 Jeff Downing: We have been to French Laundry and had an opportunity to go to the Per Se cafe and loved it. It was a smaller pre fix menu and to be honest it was the right amount. There some familiar items such as oysters and pearls and ending with amazing desserts. The service was excellent and whole experience was fantastic. Highly recommend

4 /5 Weston Corbin: A memorable meal with family before Christmas. We celebrated my moms 70th birthday while dining as well. This was our second visit to Per Se and it was consistent with my first visit. While I wasnt blown away this time, the dishes were executed with high degree of skill and technique. This visit just felt average in terms of the menu making an impression. For the price tag I feel like there needs to be a bigger wow factor. The service is impeccable though! I would definitely recommend dining here for a splurge and a special treat.

5 /5 N J: Every dish was spot on. They are accurate and precise. The caviar echos with other ingredients in its dish, instead of a hard add-on that says “okay, now you have your caviar”. The dishes are very classy, and these dishes become common in other Michelin restaurants, but per se’s twists still stand out. The two meat dishes were simple but so delicious, for the first time after visiting tens of Michelins I feel the meat courses are not just positional but nicely executed and impressive. The grand finale of desserts is a bit too much. The interior of the restaurant could use some updates, as they have been Michelin three stars for decades. The new year ring was very much fun and nice. Memories were made.

5 /5 Peter Gan: Background Per Se is synonymous with a rigorously precise, French inspired tasting menu experience. Even its shorter menus are designed to reflect the full philosophy of the kitchen rather than serve as a compromise. Ambience The dining room is dimly lit and serene. While we were not seated in the main dining hall, our table faced the New York skyline, which added a cinematic calm to the evening. The space felt formal yet not stiff, elegant without intimidation. Service Service was impeccable and precise. Staff were attentive without hovering and thoughtful without excess. The presence of a vegetarian menu executed with equal seriousness deserves special praise. Food and drink The four course menu was skilfully crafted and coherent from start to finish. Each plate showed restraint and clarity. The true revelation was the dessert course. It was a masterpiece of balance and whimsy, arguably the most compelling and memorable sequence of the meal. It is one of the best if not the best dessert. Kudos Overall Per Se proves that greatness is not dependent on length or spectacle. Even a shorter menu delivers depth, confidence and emotional payoff.

5 /5 Julia Brown: I feel truly honoured to have had the pleasure of dining at this fine establishment. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with hospitality and were sat immediately (no wait at the door). Every little detail of this place was special. The delicious food, the impeccable wine pairings and world-class service makes this place an absolute stand out. I have been fortunate enough to dine at many Michelin star restaurants all over the world, but this place will always have a special place in my heart. It truly does deserve its 3 Michelin star rating! We left happily full from our meal, and they even packaged our dessert course for us to enjoy later at home. Thank you so much for the incredible experience and for making myself and my guest feel so welcomed. 10/10 highly recommend.
