NYC: Le Bernardin (Oct. 2012)
Author: Victor
Restaurant: Le Bernardin
Exec Chef: Eric Ripert
Date: October 11, 2012
Dinner (Chef’s Tasting Menu)
Notes:
1. Le Bernardin is Chef Eric Ripert’s flagship restaurant, and it’s known as the best seafood restaurant in North America (a temple of seafood, yadayadayada).
2. They gave us a free 2012 Zagat Guide to go with the menu at the end, so that was nice. Too bad the 2013 one’s already out :(.
Menu changes:
1. They replaced the arctic char dish with a black bass dish.

Dress Code: “Business Attire required. No jeans, sneakers, flip-flops, shorts or t-shirts are permitted in the dining room.”
Restaurant seats: 18 (with one cover a night each seat)
Notes:
-No pictures or note-taking allowed! Also, cell phones must be used outside.
-MAKE SURE YOU ARRIVE ON TIME. There are two “cycles” during the night; for us, one “group” of 10 started about 30 minutes earlier than our “group” of 8 (you eat the same dishes at the same time as the others in your “group”). If you are late, they’ll start without you and won’t give you any courses that you’ve missed.
-The restaurant has a wine program in place now. “Guests are permitted to bring a maximum of two 750 ml bottles of wine that are not represented on our wine list. There is a wine service fee of $70 per bottle. Liquor is not allowed in the dining room.”
