Worth it
  • Address60 E 65th St, New York, NY 10065
  • From my guide, updated June 2024.

You’ll have a hard time finding a more romantic restaurant in New York City than Daniel. The two-starred Michelin restaurant is known for its exquisite atmosphere, exceptional service, and outstanding cuisine. While dining at Daniel is undeniably a luxurious experience, it’s important to note that it comes with a high price tag.

From the moment you step in, you’re greeted warmly and surrounded by elegant decor. The menu offers a delightful array of dishes, from foie gras to duck and a unique corn-themed swordfish. Each course is paired perfectly with wine, enhancing the flavors.

The staff goes above and beyond to ensure a personalized experience, making every visit special. And don’t miss out on the delectable desserts! Despite its expense, many find the visit well worth the cost, as Daniel offers a truly unforgettable culinary experience and a pretty epic date night in New York City.

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
