The Best Restaurant in New York, USA

The sleek, wood-paneled interior, complete with pink and blue ceiling lights, is an inviting venue in which to  indulge in a fusion of Basque and southern French fare. Eel Bar has a tavern or gastropub vibe—a place you'd come to sip on a \"gin tonic\" or a glass of Rioja Alavesa as much as to snack on inspired dishes like the shrimp-and-egg gilda, a 'roided up version of the classic Basque pintxo, or squid-ink-laced grilled black rice patties.
