Located in the heart of New York City is the fine dining restaurant, Eleven Madison Park. The restaurant overlooks the beautiful Madison Square Park and sits at the base of a historic Art Deco building on the Corner of East 24th Street and Madison Avenue.

Owned by Swiss chef Daniel Humm since 2011, the restaurant has evolved tremendously in both food and experience. With tasting menus of entirely plant-based courses that are guaranteed to want you to visit every day. If you prefer a light snack or a more abbreviated version of the menu accompanied by a drink, guests are also encouraged to visit the bar.
If this doesn’t sound amazing already, every dinner purchased at Eleven Madison Park allows them to provide meals to New Yorkers experiencing food insecurity, served in the Eleven Madison Truck.

Chef, Ricky Saward tells Michelin Guide “My cuisine was not “born” vegan, but has developed in that direction, especially thanks to the great produce from our own field. As a result, concepts like regionality, seasonality, “farm to table”, “root to leaf” are just as natural to me as the effort to conserve resources.”
