Le Bernardin
Contemporary elegance in the Theater District
VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Owned by Maguy Le Goze and the legendary Eric Ripert, Le Bernardin is one of the top restaurants in
New York. A sure thing since it opened in 1986, Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Le Bernardin has really hit its stride under perfectionist and celebrity chef Ripert.
Since he succeeded chef Gilbert Le Coze in 1995, Ripert has continued Le Bernardin’s tradition of serving luxurious French seafood with modern and international flavors. Think yuzu in fluke marinade or salmon served with a jalapeño emulsion.
Located in New York’s Theater District near Times Square, the restaurant sources its seafood daily and prepares simple yet flavorful dishes that often include Asian ingredients. Although it isn’t adjacent to the ocean, it is a seafood lover’s paradise.
