Eleven Madison Park, New York

Led by Swiss chef Daniel Humm, Eleven Madison Park in Manhattan's Flatiron district has held 3 Michelin stars since 2012 and was named World's Best Restaurant in 2017 — a feat 50% rarer than the average top-10 restaurant's top ranking. In 2021 it became New York City's first plant-based restaurant to hold 3 Michelin stars — a radical transformation that generated global culinary debate. EMP's reimagining of classic New York dishes and its gallery-like setting overlooking Madison Square Park, near 40,000 daily visitors, make it one of the most discussed restaurant reinventions in modern culinary history.
