The Relisher is where the world’s top chefs reveal their favorite restaurants in their hometowns. This week, I met with Gabriel Kreuther, the executive chef of the two-Michelin-starred Gabriel Kreuther Restaurant.
Chef Gabriel is one of NYC’s most influential chefs. As the Executive Chef at The Modern for a decade, he earned the James Beard Foundation Award for the Best Chef in New York City.
In 2015, he opened his eponymous restaurant, which has since earned three stars from The New York Times and was named one of the 100 Best Restaurants in New York City for 2023.
Below, Chef Gabriel shares his favorite NYC restaurants, where he had his best meal of the year, the spots he's excited to try, and more. (Note: A Google Map with all locations listed is provided at the end of the interview.)
