Hi! Looking for the best tasting menu in NYC. Will be there in mid-March. Thanks!

Price no object, or are you looking for best price-to-performance?

[seven of diamonds]

Actually, both would be nice! A range of people's favorites would probably include both of these.

I'm pretty sure the responses will include Per Se, 11 Mad Park, Le B, Ko, Aldea...

If you look at the a la carte menu, you'll see that the pricing on the Aldea tasting menu makes no sense.

I love that place, but it doesn't pay to stray from the carte there.

My favorite tasting menus are: Per Se, Eleven Madison Park, Bouley, Momofuku Ko, and Picholine.

Per Se, Le Bernardin, and Jean Georges

In purely food terms, I'd say my first choice would be Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare for "price no object", and suggest you consider Degustation for a value-oriented "price-to-performance" pick. I'd put Per Se, Momofuku Ko, L'atelier de Joel Robuchon, and Jean Georges right after BK Fare for the no object category.

Also, if price is truly no object, and you're a fan of Japanese food, you probably have to consider Masa as well. (Also in the kaiseki vein, Brushstroke, Kyo Ya and the omakase bar at Morimoto are great. Note: the omakase bar is a totally separate experience and has a different menu from the rest of Morimoto and shouldn't be confused with ordering the "omakase" in the main restaurant.)

I really enjoyed our meal at Kajitsu. Shojin ryori style (Japanese vegetarian temple cuisine).
