César

New York, US

Chef César Ramirez channels nearly four-decades-worth of culinary experience into his eponymous restaurant, housed in a former printing press. Both tables and counter seating allow a clear view of the kitchen, whereRamirez is present most days to lead the pass and greet guests. He brings to the thirteen-course menu a seafood-centric approach that morphs classic dishes into novel packages. A classic fish rillette, made of eel, salmon or trout according to the season, is piped into a cigar of pastry as a snack. Equally charming is the rendition of fish and chips where the fish is woven into a single potato crisp. Many of Ramirez’s fans return for his version of a frozen soufflé, which might be described as a bite of flavourful, "frozen air”. For ultimate luxury, opt into shaved truffles with your tasting experience.
