Jean Georges

Jean Georges Review

This culinary temple in the Trump International Hotel and Towers focuses wholly on chef celebre Jean-Georges Vongerichten's spectacular creations. Some approach the limits of the taste universe, like foie-gras brûlée with spiced fig jam and ice-wine reduction. Others are models of simplicity, like slow-cooked cod with warm vegetable vinaigrette. Exceedingly personalized service and a well-selected wine list contribute to an unforgettable meal, as do tattooed celeb pastry chef Johnny Iuzzini's rock-and-roll desserts, like a lemon ice cream filled with house-made pop rocks. For Jean Georges on a budget, try the prix-fixe lunch in the front room, Nougatine.

Diners are treated to a world-class meal at Jean Georges Vongerichten's namesake restaurant at the Trump International Hotel. Multicourse prix-fixe menus (three- or seven-courses at dinner) feature refined French dishes with international flair, such as sea urchin on black bread with jalapeno and yuzu, foie gras brulée with dried cherries and port wine gelee, and smoked squab à l'orange. The personalized service is stellar; the modern dining room is dazzling.
