Expansive gastronomic restaurant with the view of the Central Park. The founder Thomas Keller believes in the balance between best ingredients and innovative cooking. His philosophy is about the journey to explore hidden pleasures of the creative meal. Per Se is not just the gastronomic venue, it’s also a place for crème de la crème to network, close deals and celebrate anniversaries. If you have a new evening gown or a set of diamond earrings that you didn’t have a chance to show off, this is the place to sparkle and shine. Per Se is a romantic spot; it’s all about nice posture, whispering, well-mannered behavior, and smart attire. Tasting menu will offer an adventure to a classic gastronomic experience; you can try all specials in nine servings. Fine china, perfect service, artistic presentation and expansive wine list are all part of Thomas Keller’s approach to fine dining. Most popular dishes on the menu are oysters and pearls, duck foie gras, pigeon, and langoustines wrapped in bacon. The menu is always changing, according to Per Se, the menu is about “exciting your mind and pique your curiosity”.
