Overall scores are based on factors including critics\u2019 reviews, guidebooks, many types of media coverage and social-media postings.<\/p>\n<p>Ripert said\u00a0La Liste packs a punch with visitors\u00a0from Asia, especially Japan, South Korea and China \u2014 a clientele that provides 30% of Le Bernardin\u2019s dinner business.<\/p>\n<p>The survey has also gained traction in Western Europe \u201cand, of course, in France,\u201d Ripert said.<\/p>\n<p>Le Bernardin, which Ripert owns with longtime partner Maguy LeCoze, has enjoyed singular staying power among high-end restaurants since it opened in New York in 1986. It repeatedly earned four stars from the New York Times. After narrowly avoiding doom during the pandemic, its 110-seat dining room seats remain as much in demand as nearly four decades ago.<\/p>\n<p>Visitors from Asia provide 30% of Le Bernardin\u2019s dinner business, Ripert said.
