Le Bernardin, New York

Chef Eric Ripert's Le Bernardin in Midtown Manhattan has held 4 New York Times stars for over 30 consecutive years — the longest streak of any New York restaurant — and 3 Michelin stars since the New York guide launched in 2006. Founded in Paris in 1972 by Gilbert and Maguy Le Coze before relocating to New York in 1986, the restaurant specialises exclusively in seafood prepared with classical French technique. Le Bernardin's longevity — maintaining the maximum rating across two continents for over 35 years — is unmatched in fine dining history, outperforming even Geranium, which earned its third star 30 years later, and with a 100% retention rate of its 3 Michelin stars since 2006.
