Eleven Madison Park is an American restaurant located at 11 Madison Avenue, at East 24th Street, in the Flatiron District of Manhattan, New York City. It ranked third among The World's 50 Best Restaurants in 2016,[4] and topped the list in 2017.[5]
The restaurant, designed by Bentel & Bentel, is located in the landmark Art Deco Metropolitan Life North Building, facing Madison Square. The restaurant originally opened in 1998 and was owned by restaurateur Danny Meyer. In 2006, Chef Daniel Humm and Will Guidara began working at Eleven Madison Park and in 2011 they purchased it from Meyer.[6] Humm and Guidara also own and operate the NoMad restaurant in the NoMad Hotel, opened in 2012, and Made Nice a counter-service restaurant in Manhattan. Their restaurants are under the Make It Nice group.
In 2017, Eleven Madison Park closed for renovation between June 9 and October 11, mainly to revamp the kitchen which had not been updated in nearly 20 years.[7]
The restaurant offers guests one multi-course tasting menu inspired by the agricultural bounty of New York and its culinary traditions.[8] This concept has come under occasional criticism. In 2015, Tanya Gold wrote of the menu, "It is not, to me, food, because it owes more to obsession than to love. It is not, psychologically, nourishing. It is weaponized food, food tortured and contorted beyond what is reasonable; food taken to its illogical conclusion; food not to feed yourself but to thwart other people."[9]
The Eleven Madison Park Cookbook was published in 2011;[10] Humm and Guidara have released additional cookbooks including: I Love New York: Ingredients and Recipes,[11] The NoMad Cookbook,[12] and Eleven Madison Park: The Next Chapter.[13]
