New York City already has one of the most impressive dining scenes on the planet, but somehow the Michelin Guide keeps finding even more restaurants worth obsessing over.
The prestigious dining guide just added 15 new NYC restaurants across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens to its New York selection, highlighting everything from buzzy newcomers and hidden neighborhood gems to elegant French dining and Korean-Cajun fusion.
While these restaurants haven’t earned Michelin Stars just yet, they’ve officially caught the attention of Michelin Inspectors—which means they could be among this year’s biggest winners when awards season rolls around later this year.
Here’s every restaurant that just made the cut:
