Seven New York City restaurants have made the list of the most beautiful in the United States.

They say we "eat with our eyes first," and this applies to more than just presentation. In a culinary-rich city like New York, it's not just the taste that matters, but the atmosphere as well. SecretNYC tells which seven restaurants in the city made it into the prestigious ranking of the most beautiful establishments in the USA.

Robb Report, one of the world's leading luxury and trend publications, has selected the most beautiful new restaurants in the United States for 2025. Of the 21 establishments that made the final list, seven are located in New York City.

From Jean-Georges Vongerichten's first restaurant in Brooklyn to an Indian fine dining establishment whose design hints at the Taj Mahal, these establishments impress not only with their cuisine but also with their space. A good restaurant isn't just about the food. It's also a feast for the eyes.

Huso, Tribeca

Modern kitchen

• Address: 323A Greenwich Street.

Huso began in 2019 as an intimate tasting counter inside Marky's Caviar on Madison Avenue. Over time, it moved to a larger space in Tribeca and became known for its modern tasting menus, emphasizing technique, seasonality, and attention to detail.

Under the direction of Chef Buddha Lo, the restaurant offers understated, creative cuisine. It has quickly become a favorite among New Yorkers, as evidenced by a Michelin star, a Wine Spectator's Best of Excellence Award, and inclusion in Robb Report's list of the 10 best new restaurants in the US.

Robb Report describes the space this way: "The Huso dining room is a tranquil oasis. Oak, cream, and gray tones create a sophisticated atmosphere. This is complemented by navy blue banquettes and rounded corners that add a soft touch. It's a warm space that makes you feel welcome from the moment you step in."

ABC Kitchens, DUMBO

American Cuisine

• Address: 55 Water Street.

Jean-Georges Vongerichten opened his first restaurant in Brooklyn, ABC Kitchens. He brought with him antique chandeliers, pink lava stone, rose quartz, and an abundance of flowers.

The restaurant is located across from the historic Jane's Carousel on the DUMBO waterfront. It brings together the best of three of the chef's New York projects under one roof: the farm-to-table approach of ABC Kitchens, the plant-based cuisine of abcV, and the international flavors of ABC Cocina.

Robb Report notes that the interior pays homage to the neighborhood. Two stone walls are made from slabs left over from the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge. The space combines vintage and modern furniture, as well as a stained-glass window inspired by Miami's Vizcaya Museum and Gardens.

Musaafer NYC, Tribeca

Indian kitchen

• Address: 133 Duane Street.

Musaafer NYC is the second restaurant of the renowned Michelin-starred Houston project. The name translates from Hindi and Urdu as "traveler." The concept is a declaration of love to India, inspired by Chef Mayank's 100-day journey across all 29 states.

The space is no less impressive. It combines reimagined Indian architecture with three formats: an elegant dining room, a Silk Road-inspired tasting menu, and the atmospheric underground bar Saaqi. From mirrored private dining rooms to a sweeping take on Indian fine dining, Musaafer brings drama, luxury, and a sense of travel to New York City.

Obvio, NoMad

Cocktail bar

• Address: 3 E 28th Street.

Obvio isn't your typical supper club. It's a sensual, cinematic cocktail lounge where every detail has been meticulously crafted by founder Juan Santa Cruz. From the silk giraffe-patterned walls to the Blade Runner-inspired amber lighting.

By day, it's a restaurant with signature cuisine and spectacular cocktails. At night, the space transforms into a neo-noir venue with DJs and dancing. It's classic New York nightlife, but darker, sexier, and intentionally over-the-top.

Limusina, Midtown

Mexican food

• Address: 441 9th Avenue.

The team behind a number of popular New York City restaurants has opened Limusina, a vibrant Mexican eatery with 225 seats. The menu is inspired by various regions of Mexico, with elements of Californian and Tex-Mex cuisine.

The space was designed by GRT Architects, the architecture studio known for Don Angie, San Sabino, and Cucina Alba. Robb Report writes that gold, peach, and red tones play a key role in the interior.

They are present in the draperies, chandeliers, and maximalist bar with floating marble slabs. The combination of textures and vibrant colors attracts guests' attention from the moment they enter and holds it throughout the dinner.

Yamada, Chinatown

Japanese food

• Address: 16 Elizabeth Street.

Japandi style—a fusion of Japanese and Scandinavian aesthetics—is widely represented in contemporary design. Yamada, a Michelin-starred Japanese restaurant in Chinatown, has perfected it.

Robb Report notes that Yamada perfectly combines wabi-sabi (the beauty of simplicity) and hygge (coziness and comfort). The centerpiece is the chef's counter, crafted from a single slab of Japanese hinoki cypress. The partitions are made using the traditional kumiko technique, and the tableware is created by ceramicist Shinobu Habauchi. The counter seats 10 people.

Cafe Zaffri, Union Square

Middle Eastern cuisine

• Address: 16 E 16th Street.

Cafe Zaffri is the third project from the team behind Raf's and The Musket Room. The restaurant is located in The Twenty-Two New York, a luxury hotel and private club. The menu offers modern interpretations of Levantine cuisine and its rich culinary heritage.

The space is divided into two rooms: one is bright and sunlit; the other is darker and more intimate. Robb Report writes that designers Alexey Kos and Che Huang of Child Studio transformed the restaurant into a vibrant oasis. An atrium floods the interior with light, while the wallpaper, warm wood elements, and rich textures evoke the restaurant's architectural past.
