Read the full review

Think of Thomas Keller's Per Se as the urban counterpart to his famed wine country institution The French Laundry. At Per Se, he has won the hearts of New Yorkers with an artful, indulgent experience in an environment tailored to big-city sensibilities. While Per Se has blossomed, Keller’s Napa original thrives as the master spends time in both kitchens, ensuring that each coast receives his endless processions of culinary perfection—exactly why both restaurants share this spot on our list.

Reviews of the Week

Bastide in West Hollywood has added a new outdoor wine bar, whimsical design details, and à la carte menu options from chef Paul Shoemaker. New York City's Socarrat Paella Bar offers bold flavors from all over Spain along with a setting reminiscent of dining in a country home, while Anchor & Hope in San Francisco is a sophisticated version of a fish house.
