Top 6 Restaurants in the USA
For a long time, America’s restaurant prospect has been flourishing at the very best. The culinary energy was sparking off the charts, thanks to the wondrous chefs.
They have been breathing new life into seemingly old- tasting menus, making it fun and interactive with diners, by using live fire cooking with the approach of fine dining.
But after the pandemic COVID 19 hit since last year, it forced the thriving industry to come to a close. The heartbreaking truth is that most say- almost 75 percent of them won’t be reopening in the future.
What made the restaurants good in the first place is what makes them frail to hold themselves in the pandemic. Since the best ones are usually more labor intensive, that is what holds them from flourishing in the pandemic.
However, even if an era might be coming to an end, neither our desire to go out and dine with friends will change nor the chefs will stop wanting to express themselves through their creations.
They will continue to source the best, farm- sourced organic ingredients, make more things in- house from scratch. With that, we conclude that even if some good things are coming to an end, it won’t be the end of the restaurant business.
And with that, we present to you the top 6 restaurants in the USA that combine mouthwatering food with fantastic service that stands the test of time.
1. Hestia in Austin, Tex.
Hestia’s open kitchen has an impressive 20- foot long hearth that runs along the back wall. The fire burning constantly imparts flavor to almost everything that’s being served on the menu.
From the char on imported Wagyu beef to the onion ash on the rolls, the smell permeating the atmosphere awakens something almost primitive in you.
Hestia closely resembles a modern steakhouse, but offers much more with lion’s mane mushroom that sits on a sauce of miso and smoked oil, and enclosed by thin rounds of Badger Flame beet.
2. Albi in Washington, D.C.
Chef Michael Rafidi grew up eating with his Palestinian family outside Washington and helps the diners understand the area without being too rigid in his recipes.
For some dishes, Chef Rafidi stays true to his grandfather’s recipes. For others, he takes the recipe for a twist and makes it his own.
Stunning dishes to try out include coal-fired beets with walnuts, fermented muhammara, and a lamb dish of molasses-covered ribs served alongside a kebab and minced-lamb kofta that’s molded around a cinnamon stick.
3. Demi in Minneapolis
Gavin Kaysen’s Demi is a 20 seat, tasting- menu- only restaurant that deeply reflects what he thinks fine dining is at its highest. It starts with a broth infused with lemon grass.
There’s also foie gras terrine with chocolate, Midwestern venison in the style of spicy Thai larb and a decadent delicacy of pasta filled with cauliflower, lobster and vadouvan.
After the desserts are done with, a surprise treat in the form of freshly made rice crispies in a sauce pan arrives to put a last smile on your face.
4. Kikko in Chicago
In Kikko, diners sit in an intimate setting of an 8-seat tasting counter, where they can enjoy the cheerful ambiance while the chef, Russell, and the sous chef prepare a delightful 7-course omakase experience.
Additionally, Try the osetra caviar with finger lime and yuzu kosho, a selection of sashimi and nigiri, crispy fried tofu and Miyazaki A5 Wagyu with parasitic mushrooms.
5. K’Far/Laser Wolf in Philadelphia
At the all day café K’Far serving Israeli cuisine, indulge yourself in pistachio sticky buns, flaky bourekas and mini babkas along with the spongy soft Yemeni bread kubaneh, that can have both sweet or savory toppings like smoked salmon or brown-sugar ricotta.
Laser Wolf has fine perfection to everything they do beneath the casual atmosphere. Moreover, treat yourself to flawlessly grilled chicken, complemented by the bartender’s expert pairing with a natural, unique wine. In addition, the restaurant’s attention to detail is evident in every aspect, ensuring an exceptional dining experience.
6. Kawi in New York City
Eunjo Park is a Seoul-born chef leaning into Korean tradition. There are spicy rice cakes, steamed whole chicken and Kimbap. She fills them with ingredients such as pickled vegetables, foie gras or pork belly.
Indulge yourself to thinly slice pickled brisket that is fall-apart tender and the raw crab in gochujang-based marinade served over rice with trout roe and toasted seaweed. The dish is an impeccable mix of flavors that burst like fireworks in your mouth.
