This was my second visit since 2023, and I’m so happy to be back just before officially moving to NYC. Every dish I ordered was exceptional and never disappointed. Each ingredient was thoughtfully paired and complemented the others beautifully, exceeding my expectations. Definitely looking forward to coming back again for another wonderful culinary experience!

They have very reasonable prices compared to other similar fine-dining restaurants. I also love that the space and seating are not cramped, and the restaurant has a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. I was especially impressed that one of the waiters speaks excellent Mandarin. He is learned Chinese in college, and even spent some time in my hometown, which made the experience feel extra special

I came here for my birthday and the staff was so incredibly nice to me! Everyone really welcomed me and the food is beautiful and delicious. I had the corn soup and Merlu and loved it. The dessert is out of this world

Had our anniversary dinner here, very sophisticated and great service. The oysters app and lobster main were great! The cheese was nice as well. We did the 3 course prefix and I thought I would leave hungry but honestly I was stuffed by the end. I did also get a bottle of wine.

What a stunning find. The Pavilion transports you the moment you walk in — the interior design is breathtaking, with lush greenery and natural touches that genuinely make you feel like you're dining outdoors in a beautiful park, even though you're in the middle of the city. It's such a refreshing, immersive atmosphere. The food was every bit as impressive as the setting: creative, thoughtfully composed dishes that were as delicious as they were beautiful to look at. Every course felt like it had real intention behind it. A special shoutout to our server, Hudson, who elevated the whole evening. His wine pairings were spot-on with each course, and his knowledge and warmth made the meal feel that much more special. Attentive without being intrusive — exactly what you want from great service. This is a rare combination of atmosphere, food, and hospitality all firing on all cylinders. Can't wait to go back.

From ingredient to plate at Le Pavillon. Dover sole, mango, and escargots, transformed through the skill and creativity of our chefs. A look at how exceptional ingredients take shape in the kitchen and become the finished dish. #danielboulud #nycmichelinstar #nycrestaurants

The Noisette | Jivara: a classic at Le Pavillon. Milk chocolate mousse, praline croustillant, and hazelnut nougatine delicately come together into a beautiful work of art. #nycmichelin #nycdesserts #danielboulud

Bar en Croûte de Sel 🐟 The final touches on a Le Pavillon signature. Harold plates our Atlantic sea bass en croûte de sel, served with ratatouille farci, Camargue rice, and a vibrant sauce vierge. Wrapped in fragrant bamboo leaves and baked in a delicate salt crust, the sea bass emerges beautifully tender before being finished tableside. A French classic, shaped by technique and brought to life through every detail. #DanielBoulud #MichelinStar #FineDiningNYC #NYCRestaurants
