Where Eric Ripert actually eats in New York

executive chef & co-owner, Le Bernardin (New York) · 16 picks

Where does Eric Ripert eat in New York? Eric Ripert has named 16 places in New York: Balthazar, Nubeluz, Le Veau d'Or, Peter Luger Steak House, ATOMIX and 11 more. Each one is listed below with the source, in their own words where they gave them.

Eric Ripert is the executive chef and co-owner of Le Bernardin, the Midtown seafood restaurant that has been the most decorated French kitchen in New York for three decades. This is the inverse of his own menu: sixteen places he named himself, gathered from his Michelin Guide city guide and a Cultured magazine round-up — a steak frites habit, a martini bar, and the Korean counter he shares with Boulud and Vongerichten.


Balthazar

I go to Balthazar two or three times a month with family or friends. I usually get steak frites, which are the best fries in New York.
