nyc’s priciest prix-fixe menus
Here is a list NYC’s priciest 3-5 course set menus. Gordon Ramsay took the top stop after it raised prices by twenty-five bucks to $135. Eleven Madison Park and Del Posto (tied with Le Bernardin) now occupy the #2 and #3 slots, in the wake of price hikes following four-star Times reviews. Check it out:
- Gordon Ramsay: $135 ($143 after bon bons).
- Eleven Madison Park: $125 (includes a billion freebies).
- Del Posto & Le Bernardin: $115
- Daniel: $108 (up from $105).
- River Cafe: $100
- Jean Georges & La Grenouille & The Modern: $98
- Gotham Bar & Grill: $95
- Le Cirque: $92
- Marea: $91
- Corton (with Liebrandt) & Gilt (post-Liebrandt) & Aureole: $89
- Gramercy Tavern: $88
- Asiate & Lincoln: $85 (previously longer $125 tasting menu at latter)
- Ai Fiori & Aquavit: $84
- Colicchio & Sons & Blue Hill & Annisa: $78
- SHO: $75
We food writers often focus on “the most expensive tasting menus in America,” and hash out the usual “Masa, Per Se, etc.” So I thought I’d so something different here, by focusing on the shorter, non-tasting menus. Included are links to Bloomberg reviews by Ryan Sutton (that’s me), Alan Richman and Richard Vines. Where appropriate, I have linked to reviews by Sam Sifton and Frank Bruni of the New York Times. This list is a work in progress. Please e.mail any suggestions so I can update this posting.
