We’re going to the Big Apple! To the heart of New York City. Manhattan.
Home to the one of the world’s best restaurants, Eleven Madison Park.
In 2006, Swiss chef Daniel Humm and front of house specialist Will Guidara joined the team and started to shake things up.
In 2010, EMP received the first Michelin star, in 2012, they went directly to three stars.
Eleven Madison tops the world’s 50 best restaurants list in 2017.
After the pandemic, Chef Humm decides to focus on a new challenge. Scrap the old menu and totally redesign it. This time 100% plant-based. That made Eleven Madison Park the first vegan 3 Michelin star restaurant in the world.

Next stop: Gordon! 🔥
Subscribe if you don’t want to miss it!
Been there twice and thoroughly enjoyed it (assuming you're talking Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in London). Will be interested to see how someone with more experience says it holds up!
Love the channel! Please keep up the amazing content!
Gordon..haha..will definitely watch
WOOOOO LETS GO FINALLY
RGR is great. It's not so much about creativity but if you want an intimate meal with refined, outstanding food, it's up there with the best. I went there in December last year (menu prestige) and it was brilliant.
Can't fathom how few subscribers this channel has. Excellent, top-of-the-line content. No unnecessary flare, no showing off, genuine opinions without dragging people through the dirt. Exceptional channel, I look forward to every video.
A lot of casual viewers prefer standard mukbang content, or more affordable reviews. Michelin-rated reviews is a pretty niche content vertical, but I agree.
The channel us just a few weeks old. Give it time.
@@wiltmarlonelao agree.soon 100k. Wait. Teh only problem-Alexander will be out of restaurants 😂😂
few people have good taste
Feels like a channel with at least 500k subs
Just ate here yesterday as a single. I'm a vegan so naturally I was quite curious. Impeccable service and presentation. The bread and deserts were incredible. I also had the non-alcoholic pairing. Incredibly -- because I was alone they gave me a brief tour of the kitchen as well! I was shocked to see how intense and focused everyone was; not like any kitchen I'd ever been in ❤ I have to admit the menu served in this video is much more to my preferences than the one I was served. Guess I'll have to go back for a different one!
Wow
Man, I am loving your content.
I keep following your feed.
I got shocked (in a good way) with fact madison eleven park restaurant is doing purely vegan food. It is amazing to see one of the best chefs in the world changing their food concept and not following the masses holding the highest Michelin standard.
So inspiring :)
A big props to Daniel Humm.
Yeah.. It isn't the easy way to intrigue people.
For sure. But I imagine for someone like chef Daniel Humm he might just found the new challenge he was looking for. :)
$300 a person for vegan food...no thanks.
@@thedoublea147 It is more than that. About $370 not including drinks (minimum $200) and tips, per person. To each his own.
@@thedoublea147 You're paying for taste pleasure, an experience. Who cares if it contains meat, is keto or is gluten free. In the end, it's about what you felt from the experience. If they manage to appease harsh critics like Michelin and other demanding customers like Alexander, it's worth the price. Talk about close-minded.
Truly an exceptional achievement. Getting 3 Michelin stars is a masterpiece, doing it without animal protein is even more of a landmark.
It's really cool to see a fine dining approach to vegan cuisine. I love that that Chef Humm was clearly not trying to just replicate meat based dishes but wanted to use plant based ingredients in a way to express themselves without that restraint. I find with vegan cuisine (I'm not vegan so just my limited experiences) the attempt to create "faux" meat/cheese both doesn't work and doesn't need to happen. There's so much unique texture and flavour and richness that can be expressed without a reminder that you're not eating meat/cheese. Bravo again Alexander & crew, really enjoyable content as always.
I totally agree with you!
Very well said. I couldn’t agree more on your point that vegan imitations are unnecessary because they can be interesting in and of themselves. Nice to see EMP breaking through the pretense that vegan cuisine has been about.
I agree that for a high-class restaurant making imitations would feel cheap and unnecessary but as a vegetarian I am still happy to be able to have, e.g. burgers when I feel like it, and my bouef bourgignon is a highlight every winter. Then I am grateful for the imitations to exist.
@@mikaelplaysguitar Good point. I think from a vegan/vegetarian's perspective it's nice to have those faux meat/cheese substitutions. I guess for myself and other omnivores (some at least) we enjoy vegan/vegetarian food more when it doesn't try to imitate meat & dairy. But totally see where you're coming from :)
We demand MORE, Alexander!!! Love your videos!!
I went to EMP in March and had the exact same menu (minus the maple syrup taffy) - absolutely stunning service and the food was remarkable. Truly the meal of a lifetime. The Yukon potato covered in the black truffles was mind blowing as was the main course mushroom dish. EMP deserves its three stars. (I also ate at the 2-star Atomix the same week so I actually had two meals of a lifetime that week).
$1000 pp for vegetables and fruit ...
@@markogaudiosi5243 Yeah. Some people are beyond stupid...
@@markogaudiosi5243 well that's the point of a vegan restaurant
And the menu is around 300 originally
How it inflated from 300 to 1k
@@zilverheartWine probably.
Absolutely love your content! Expertise, amazing storytelling, and critic awareness in every video, besides the strong cinematography of course.
Many thanks for the support!
I swear, every week your channel grows by at least 5k subscribers. This will be on of the biggest food channels on TH-cam before long!
I visited EMP in February 2018, incredible dinner with highly original and interesting food, service was impeccable and definitely an anniversary to remember. Really interesting seeing the new take on the restaurant and that none of the edge has been lost. Great video as well!
I am glad that you had a nice experience! Many thanks for the feedback!
Another great episode, thanks Alexander!
Love this video, love how you talk about the people behind the food and give your own honest opinion. I love this channel color me addicted.
Thanks for your Support!
This channel is criminally underrated! Amazing reviews
I believe that vegan food doesn’t have to be “worse” versions of non-vegan food. One of my recent most favorite restaurants is a vegan spot but their flavors are absolutely insane. For most of their dishes I forget I’m eating food that is entire plant-based
You can't just say that and then not drop the name of the restaurant ;)
I love your presentation Alexander. Concise, honest criticism however lauded the venue, and passionate. Thank you, :)
Not only not lowering the price but RAISING it after going fully plant-based felt like a real cash grab from Humm to me and that was disappointing. It’s no surprise the meal is still incredible but we all know the price of the inputs went down significantly being meat-less, so why did the price rise? I want to fully love EMP like I used to but it was just a bit of a slap in the face imo
Another great video! This channel deserves more recognition. The quality is off the charts, keep up the fine work!
Many thanks for the feedback!
This channel deserves more subscribers......so unique and honest
This show is sooo therapeutic! OMG! It's amazing 🤩. Thank you so much sir. May God bless you and give you many more Michelin stars - who knows maybe you will surpass the 17 Michelin stars ⭐ attached to Gordon Ramsay! 🙏😊
This one was a beautiful video, I liked it was a warm atmosphere, normally those are not family friendly places, more for showbut I like their concept a lot, very elegant ❤
Love this channel, thanks for sharing Alex!
this is one of the best channels on this platform keep up the good work
Thanks for the feedback!
An other great video liked it a lot! Amazing how Daniel Humm is creating these amazing dishes😮
Please post more videos my friend, probably best channel for luxury food.
Birth Of The Cool... great reference to include Miles... great video!
This channel is amazing! Soon more recognition will come your way!
This channel will blow up one day. Quality Videos 💯 loving this channel!
Thanks for sharing your experiences at these amazing restaurants. More importantly, thankyou for sharing your professional perspective. I really enjoy seeing the venue through your eyes. Keep the videos coming!
Big ups from down under :)
Many thanks!
Dude. Your quality is out of this world. Such a good review!
Thanks for the support 😊
Great content
USD $3000.00 could feed 250 homeless people for one day. Even so, I love these videos.
Love this channel! Keep it up!
Ah finaly I waited for this one
Very happy to see another exciting video of yours! I was already hoping you'd review the new vegan menu of EMP 😄
Great quality as always, please keep on producing videos!
Many thanks for the feedback!
Recently enjoyed EMP down in Sydney, when they took over Aria restaurant for two weeks. A great experience and interesting to see some similarities and differences in the menu. As a meat and BBQ lover I was pleasantly surprised that I didn’t miss meat at all during the meal.
I was in Vienna’s Michelin star restaurant (Tian*) and it was amazing as well. You’re video is fantastic as usual
just awesome ... the restaurant ... and your review ...
I like this channel a lot. Thank u for explaining all the details.
This level of channel needs more subscribers!!🙏
Great review again ! Last NY visit we want for Le Bernardin as we were a little sceptical about this ... Still a little sceptical, but far less now. So maybe next time .... Thanks Alexander !
Thank you for showcasing all of these amazing restaurants, Alexander!
I've been watching you for a few months now and I am so happy to see this amazing channel grow!
Awesome!
Best food Channel right here!
Dear Alexander, you have a new subscriber! Love your depth and context of your videos.
This content is better than anything on TV. You have a bright future sir.
Just found your channel. LOVE IT!
Fabulous. Interestingly Michelin-starred Restaurant Gauthier Soho followed a similar journey. During the pandemic, as a way of keeping the business going and valued staff employed, they created Vegan Boxes - 3 course meals for 2 - for delivery. Afterwards, when things started opening up again, they decided to operate as an exclusively Vegan restaurant.
Thanks for the interesting story!
I am gobsmacked that you do not have more subscribers. This channel is wonderful. Keep up the great work. Love and light from Laos!
Thanks!
Keep this stuff coming sir. Really enjoy the content
This channel is about to blowup fast
This looks incredible
Perfect - thanks!
I’m about to watch the video but I already know this gonna be gold .
I just discovered this channel and I’m thrilled that I did. I’m on my 3rd video and my only question is how a channel & host of this caliber has relatively few subscribers. Well, count me in. 😎👍🏼
the bread there is also also so good. Best bread ive ever eaten.
what makes it good?
Love to see how you enjoy it, personally i need one plate filled with lots of food, but to see others enjoy is the best
Wickedly inspiring place … pricey even for nee york .. but this episode is nice and well-rounded in its approach
I love it!
Hey there, I simply wanted to thank you for the amazing content. I am mainly into high end cocktails & spirits instead of dine & wine concerning culinary endeavours (at least until now), but always loved to get inspired by high cuisine, loved Chef's Table for example and was so sad they changed their direction and then stopped. Finding this purely through the YT recommended vids I was amazed, love your commentary, sincere, kind but taking everything still serious, never arrogant etc. Sure, I'd love to see some more high end shots of the food as in Chefs Table, but you're not a NETFLIX production, haha. Keep it up, wasn't so sad having watched every "episode" in a long time, after watching through your channel, will share/recommend it a lot.
Many thanks for the feedback. It's always great to hear people opinion from the same passion 😊
As someone who appreciates high end cocktails, one of the holdovers from EMPs "New York" menu days, is the Manhattan service cart - which, if your drink is a Manhattan, is worth the deviation from the wine list.
Yep loving this content sensible with out being pretentious love it good work sir 👍👌
Fantastic and exquisite video as always!
Thanks!
If I don't go to this place once in my life, idk if it would be complete. Thanks to this video, I know about it. Hope your channel continues growing!
Get robbed
I love how the veggies and fruits shine on their own and on their own dishes. I was expecting plant base meat dishes and so forth.
Yummm, would love to try this food
This man chugs more wine than Gerard Depardieu 😆
Come to Chicago and check out Alinea, it’s been amazing after chef Achatz got his taste buds back
I'm actually binge-watching this rich guy's content, love the content bru!
What an amazing channel, I look forward to more content
Great channel and great content - keep it up!
dudes grown like 10k subs in a week I'm happy for u man
amazing, I adore this restaurant since 2013 and become the best restaurant in the world in 2017.
I love your content as well to explore 3 Micheline star restaurants.
maybe next you can explore the restaurant that no have michelin star but that worth to get michelin star
Thank you for your interesting reviews.
Thanks!
Thanks for the excellent content
Fantastic video.
You are awesome, this channel wil explode. Greets from Holland
We need longer format of the videos! :)
That's a lot of employees for one restaurant!
EMP had always been on my bucket list but no way will I spend that kind of money on a vegan meal :/
You deserve a million subscribers Alex🙌
Thanks for the support!
Interesting to say the least Alexander, thanks for the show haha. Indeed the food looks fab. like art and an artist 3 star chef at work Not my cup to tea as an ex veggie now enjoy different food. Subscribed.
Had this same menu with the reserve wine pairing….it was an excellent dinner.
This channel is going places.
6:18 in Quebec, we call it "Tire d'érable", it's super famous up here, especially in sugar shacks, and everyone has the same reaction as you did the first time 😄
I've also never seen such dark maple syrup, lowkey salivating just imagining the taste hahaha
Amazing review
Fantastic presentation
Great video!
Waiting for Alexander new episode every week like no other thing in my life
I have been binge-watching your videos since one popped up on my feed this morning. This one blew me away, as I am vegan and had no idea that a fully vegan restaurant has received three stars. If only it wasn’t so far away. Does 42 offer vegan options? A trip to Hungary is a lot closer :)
Great videos. I'd love to see you visit Inn at little Washington next time you're in the states.
Nice!
Thank you for reading our feedbacks and including the total price in the end.
Getting people to pay over 1k a head for vegan food - you're right about the chef being a genius
I suddenly felt 10 years younger to see Alexander use his iPhone flashlight to see the menu. I will never feel foolish again.
that maple syrup on snow thing is something kids in rural canada do with fresh maple syrup in the winter. absolutely never thought in my life i'd see that in a fine dining restaurant. lmao
except we don't get snow made from apples and pears up here in Canada ;)
For me one of the best three restaurants in the world.
Great Channel 🎉🎉🎉🎉
As someone who eats vegan it's really nice seeing these kinds of restaurants coming into the fine dining scene! Great video Alexander!
Many thanks!
Gorgeous.
3000 dollars what the fuck
He had a lot of fancy wine. That usually racks up the bill. Otherwise, I estimate it costs just over 300USD a person excluding tips and other charges.
Cost 2x more than my monthly salary..mind blown..just 1 meal.
The wine was 1.8K
3 grand is really really steep though, even for 3 Michelin stars.
The dishes look great though. Vegan dishes are often overly fermented takes in Nordic cuisine. This looks fun.
