About Eleven Madison Park
Walk through the Art Deco lobby of the Metropolitan Life North Building on the corner of 24th and Madison, cross Madison Square Park in your mind, and you arrive at the most architecturally stunning dining room in New York. Eleven Madison Park occupies what was once the Met Life headquarters: thirty-foot ceilings, massive arched windows overlooking the park, geometric stone floors that carry a century of American ambition in their surfaces.
Chef Daniel Humm has presided here since 2006, earning and then holding three Michelin stars with an extraordinary level of consistency. The 2025 Michelin guide retained the three-star rating, and the Luxury Travel Book named Eleven Madison Park the most-searched Michelin-starred restaurant in the world that same year. The room has a kind of gravitational pull that transcends food criticism.
The tasting menu — seven to eight courses at $385 per guest — charts the landscape of American produce through Humm's philosophical lens. In 2021 the kitchen went fully plant-based; in 2025, in response to guest feedback and evolving philosophy, Humm reintroduced selective fish and meat options alongside the vegetable courses. The result is a menu of unusual breadth that retains Humm's characteristic delicacy and restraint. A black truffle en croûte. Celery root cooked in a pig's bladder and brought to the table whole. A honey and lavender ice cream that resolves the entire meal into something clean and final.
The Bar Lounge offers a four- to five-course tasting menu at $225 — accessible by walk-in, and one of the best value propositions in New York fine dining.
