About Eleven Madison Park
Eleven Madison Park has held Three MICHELIN Stars since 2012, and in 2021 chef Daniel Humm pulled the room in a direction almost no three-star kitchen had tried at that altitude: an entirely plant-based tasting menu, meat and dairy removed from a repertoire that had built its reputation on duck and foie gras. The room still does the things it always did — a slow, choreographed procession of courses under soaring windows facing Madison Square Park, service that anticipates rather than reacts — but the plate in front of you is now built from a beet tartare pressed and cured like something that used to be animal, or a celery root cooked whole for hours until it carries the density of a roast. It reads as a genuine kitchen argument rather than a marketing pivot: vegetables pushed through the same technique — reduction, lamination, smoke — that used to be reserved for proteins. Whether or not you agree with the premise, the execution has not slipped.

The celery root course alone justified the trip from Boston — texture like a braised short rib, not a hint of the vegetable it started as. Service paced the four hours perfectly.
Response from Eleven Madison Park
Thank you, Priya — that celery root has become one of the courses the kitchen is proudest of. We hope to host you again soon.

Genuinely impressive technique on the vegetable courses, though I missed the richness of the old menu in a couple of spots around course six. Still one of the best rooms in the city.

How far in advance should I book Eleven Madison Park?
Reservations open on a rolling basis and prime Friday and Saturday evening seatings typically fill within minutes; plan to book four to six weeks out, or aim for a Tuesday or Wednesday if your dates are flexible.
Is the tasting menu really entirely plant-based, and is that noted anywhere before I book?
Yes — since 2021 the entire tasting menu has been plant-based, with no meat, fish, or dairy on the standard menu; this is disclosed at booking, and the kitchen will discuss further allergy or preference adjustments in advance.
