Of the dozens of Jean-Georges Vongerichten restaurants around the world, Perry Street is the only one that teams the prolific chef with his son, who is a restaurateur and chef in his own right (running Indonesian restaurants Wayan and Ma-Dé), and Perry’s been around for over 20 years and counting. As the executive chef of the West Village institution, Cedric Vongerichten highlights what he does best with his father’s touches: a melding of French, American, and pan-Asian touches into elegant dishes.
The corner semicircle booth is the best for views of the Hudson River right outside and good natural light when it’s daytime.
Couples looking for a quiet space to eat; post-work friend groups; lingering weekend brunches.
The six-course $148 tasting menu offers surprising value. For those looking for simple quality meals can order from the “simply prepared” section, with plainer entrees like fish and beef tenderloins. Likewise, you can order takeout and delivery.
