Le Bernardin is a three-Michelin star restaurant located in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Born in Paris in 1972 by sibling duo Maguy and Gilbert Le Coze, Le Bernardin only served fish: fresh, simple and prepared with respect. After receiving its first Michelin star in 1976, and two more in 1980, the Le Coze’s set to open Le Bernardin in New York in 1986. Le Bernardin earned four stars from The New York Times three months after its opening, never having dropped a star throughout six reviews, and is the only restaurant to maintain this rating for that length of time.
Elite French restaurant offers chef Eric Ripert’s refined seafood, expert service & luxurious decor.

Le bernadin has been on my bucket list restaurants ever since I could afford to go out to fine dining restaurants. Just the legend behind it and the amount of accolades it has achieved over the years.
I finally went after all these years and came out of dinner thinking it was just okay. Nothing bad about any of it but also nothing very spectacular or mind blowing.
The service was excellent. I sat at the bar as a walk in and got the full chef’s tasting menu. My server / bartended was very kind and knowledgeable with the menu. She made me probably the best espresso martini I’ve had in my life.
The meal itself was fine. As I said previously nothing was bad. I felt like everything was one note. Maybe my favorite dish was the Peruvian chocolate tart.
Was I happy that I went? Yes extremely happy. Would I go back? Maybe just for the espresso martini.

Such an amazing Christmas Day dinner!! We have been planning for ages to come here when we are visiting New York and it was amazing!
We had the 4 course meal and the selection was insane, I think we took a good 20mins trying to decide what to eat but Angel our waiter was ready to give recommendations which helped ALOT. When the food arrived it was delicious, so light but at the same time decedent and so full of flavour. Barbara helped me and my sister out with some dessert wine and the rest of our drinks which was lovely and she was so friendly with us, made us feel right at home.
To finish we had some desserts and they bought out a little birthday tart for me and my mum which was such a lovely touch!! Oscar helped us out with the end of our meal and the bill and again he was friendly and asked us about England which was fun to discuss.
Overall an amazing lovely meal with amazing staff helping us every step of the way
We will definitely return if we ever get back to America again ❤️
Thank you Le Bernardin ❣️

Our Le Bernardin experience was truly amazing! We don’t have anything to complain. We were planning on having lunch, yet, we decided to try the tasting menu upon arriving. Everything was so perfectly prepared, truly flawless. Nobody rushed us, our lunch lasted almost 3 hours. The service, the environment, the dishes were all perfect. Best of the best. We don’t drink, the tasting menu for two was almost $1000 (with 20% tip). Worth every penny. What a memorable experience at its best!! Highly recommended.

I visited Le Bernardin on Christmas Eve and it completely exceeded expectations. I chose the Holiday tasting menu (8 courses) and the entire experience was flawless, beautifully composed seafood, perfect timing between courses, and an atmosphere that feels elegant but comfortable.
The highlight for me was the lobster dish, one of the best lobster courses I’ve had in my life.
Service was exceptional as well. Sean took great care of us and explained each course clearly, which made the tasting menu even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a true Michelin-level New York experience, this is it.

Le Bernardin is an exceptional French fine dining restaurant where Chef Eric Ripert’s refined seafood creations truly shine. Despite its Michelin-star prestige, the atmosphere feels relaxed and welcoming — even our young child felt completely at ease and enjoyed the experience.
The service was impeccable from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond, pampering us with thoughtful attention and perfectly timed food and drink service.
We chose the three-course prix fixe menu, and every dish was beautifully executed. The appetizer trio offered fresh, flavorful bites of seafood. The bread assortment was among the best we’ve ever had — warm, varied, and perfectly baked. For our main courses, the lobster in a rich, aromatic broth and the steamed Halibut with baby vegetables were both outstanding — truly the best halibut we’ve ever tasted.
Desserts, including a decadent chocolate tart and an assortment of small bites, provided the perfect sweet ending to a memorable meal.
Overall, Le Bernardin delivers an extraordinary dining experience — refined yet approachable, luxurious yet comfortable. We’ll definitely return every time we’re in New York.

We made reservations for Thursday, October 9th, 2025 at 12pm and both chose the Lunch Three Course Prix Frixe. The server was exceptional at explaining the menu options and he was very attentive. The service overall exceedingly made our first time there one to remember. The food was beyond anything we’ve both experienced and definitely savored every moment of our meal. The dessert was outstandingly perfection. We did add on an additional dessert “The Egg” and we’re glad we did. Service from beginning to end was stellar. We tried non-alcoholic beverages Lychee Nectar and Raspberry Nectar both were very refreshing and perfectly sweet. We enjoyed our first experience at Le Bernardin. Will definitely revisit in the near future.

Le Bernardin continues to justify its legendary status as one of New York City’s finest dining establishments. Our recent prix fixe lunch experience reaffirmed why this restaurant has maintained its position at the pinnacle of seafood cuisine for decades.
From the moment we were seated the service struck the perfect balance between attentive and unobtrusive. Every member of the staff demonstrated genuine warmth and deep knowledge of the menu. Our sommelier deserves special recognition and his wine recommendations were impeccably matched to our dish selections, elevating each course and creating harmonious pairings throughout the meal.
The culinary journey itself was extraordinary. The opening amuse-bouches set an elegant tone with refined, delicate flavors that showcased the kitchen’s precision. The caviar service was presented with theatrical flair, accompanied by perfectly executed blinis and traditional accompaniments. The raw fish course demonstrated the restaurant’s mastery of preservation techniques—silky, perfectly seasoned, and visually stunning.
The main course was a masterclass in technique: impeccably cooked fish adorned with toasted almonds, vibrant vegetables, and a sauce that brought everything together without overwhelming the star ingredient. Each element on the plate had purpose and demonstrated the kitchen’s respect for premium ingredients.
Le Bernardin’s continued excellence isn’t just about maintaining standards — it’s about evolution while honoring tradition. Chef Eric Ripert’s vision remains as relevant and inspiring today as ever. This is destination dining at its finest, and our lunch was worth every moment. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a world-class seafood experience in New York City.

Every single dish was amazing! Too many courses that I lost count. I wish it was proper to ask for a whole 8″ plate of their tiny portions, but that would be weird and waaay out of our budget. Cocktails are perfect. Left full & satisfied. Service is as-expected for the type of establishment. Interior and decor are a bit dated and dark. It is well-maintained and clean which is what matters most. Overall, we would love to visit again.

It can be tough to get a reservation here, but it’s definitely worth the effort! I recommend calculating how far out you can make it and being ready to try as soon as availability opens up online. It’s also worth noting that you can do their full tasting menu during lunch hours (this is what we did) if you’re having trouble getting dinnertime reservations.
The food, as expected, is all absolutely fantastic. The tasting menu is a tour of seafood and had some truly standout dishes, including the dover solar almondine and the yellowfin tuna carpaccio. I also really enjoyed the dark chocolate tarte dessert. We did the wine pairing with our meal and the wine was a great variety of some unique vintages that paired perfectly with each course. Be warned that the pours are quite generous (this is not a bad thing by any means but come prepared!) and there is one for each of the eight courses so you will definitely be feeling it by the end.

We had such a lovely time at The Lounge at Le Bernardin. We couldn’t get a table at the main restaurant as this was a last minute trip to New York unfortunately. The food at the lounge was still outstanding — the skate dish in particular was absolutely perfect, delicate and full of flavor, showcasing the precision and finesse the restaurant is known for.
What truly stood out, though, was the kindness of the team. Even though our son’s birthday is still a month away, they went out of their way to celebrate him and make him feel special. That thoughtful gesture meant the world to us and turned a wonderful meal into a beautiful family memory.
Thank you to everyone at Le Bernardin for such a warm and memorable experience — we’ll treasure it and can’t wait to return! We’ll make sur to make a reservation ahead next time to try the main restaurant.
