"Opened in 1937; closed in 2019 for five years NYC has had enough iconic restaurant returns to warrant a city-specific version of this guide. But Le Veau D’Or is the one we're most excited about. After closing down in 2019, the classic French bistro that hosted Audrey Hepburn is once again home to New York’s hottest table. The team from Frenchette and Le Rock may have updated the teeny Upper East Side room a bit, but the stock- and butter-drenched food and prix-fixe format have stayed largely the same. It’s a pain in the butt to get a table, but, in a city where exclusivity is oversold, Le Veau D’Or’s is genuinely earned." - anne cruz
