Business Insider recently released its list of the best restaurants in America, and for the second year in a row, Eleven Madison Park claimed the No. 1 spot.
We can see why. With Michelin-starred chef Daniel Humm at the helm, the French-influenced bistro serves exceptional Greenmarket cuisine that surprises and delights.
Food blogger Julian Fang captured the experience of dining at Eleven Madison Park in spring 2011 for his website Jewelz. He opted for the 11-course tasting menu, which today runs three and a half hours and costs $295 per person.
While the menu has changed, the decadence remains. We've shared a selection of Fang's photos with permission.

Daniel Humm's award-winning restaurant is located in Manhattan's Flatiron neighborhood, on Madison Avenue between 24th and 25th Streets.
The Art Deco-styled dining room features floor-to-ceiling windows and whimsical floral arrangements that reach to the high ceilings.
But let's get to the food. Eleven Madison Park only offers a tasting menu, preceded by light amuse-bouches. First up were these bite-sized cheese gougéres, served warm and sprinkled with salt.
