Le Bernardin, a beacon of culinary refinement, has been redefining seafood dining since its arrival in New York in 1986. Originally established in Paris in 1972 by the Le Coze siblings, Maguy and Gilbert, the restaurant quickly earned acclaim in France for its singular dedication to fish, which seamlessly translated to its Manhattan location. Upon its debut, Le Bernardin garnered a four-star rating from The New York Times just three months after opening, a distinction it has maintained consistently for over three decades. Following Gilbert Le Coze’s untimely passing in 1994, Maguy Le Coze collaborated with Chef Eric Ripert, whose mastery has continued to uphold the restaurant’s esteemed reputation. The restaurant’s influence was further enhanced by a redesign in 2011 and the introduction of Le Bernardin Privé and Aldo Sohm Wine Bar.
