Blue Hill
Row 1
Sure, you can travel all the way upstate to Stone Barns to experience chef Dan Barber’s exquisite brand of farm-to-table cooking, but at its sister restaurant, located on a quaint and charming block just off Washington Square Park, the farm comes to you. There are few other restaurants in the city that sing the praises of super-fresh, super-seasonal produce and pasture-raised meats quite as reverently and stunningly as Blue Hill does (and for as long as it has, since 2000), and a glance around the room at those who come to worship at Barber’s altar in various states of quiet contemplation should tell you all you need to know. Take a bite of the goose egg pasta with sea urchin, ginger, and black trumpet mushrooms; the Berkshire pig with sweet potato, miso, peanuts, and yellowfoot chanterelle mushrooms; or the braised hake with apple, fennel, soy beans, pine nuts, and clams, and you’ll find yourself at a loss for words as well.

Dan Barber's fresh, eco-friendly food is driven by the harvest at his farm upstate. The room located just below street-level on quaint Village block has the same casual grace as the eats. -
Very kind to the stomach, but not to the wallet! Do splurge on This Mornings Farm Egg and the Blue Hill Farm Pig. -
This place is great. You love it, I love it, everyone loves it. But have you been to the real Blue Hill at Stone Barns? Make a reservation for you and your special someone today. -
One Michelin star. -
How can you not support an elegant restaurant that serves food from its own farm in upstate New York? It just doesnt get any fresher than that. I love that you can get a simple egg dish on the dinner -
Its all local here, from veggie sliders and house-made charcuterie to roasted Brussels sprouts and braised hake. Green Guide Editor -
The menu changes daily, but if by chance you spot the parsnips, cut and cooked to look and taste like risottowellget them while you can. -
An elegant hole in the wall serving up fresh meals. Only downside is it can lighten your wallet a bit. If you indulge, go for This Morning's Farm Egg. -
Transcendant! even without the POTUS imprimatur. -
One of the 10 best vegetarian restaurants in New York according to Village Voice -
Everything is amazing. Warm feeling, incredible food, great service. -
We made a meal of six Farm Snacks. One was the Vegetables on a Fence of assorted raw baby veggies tossed with lemon vinaigrette. -
The pork belly farm snack is amazing.
-
Great food and even better service. Get the Farm Egg appetizer. -
The back room is super cute. perfect date spot. :) -
Try sitting at the bar and not ordering off the menu - let the team decide your menu for you. -
Supplied by their farm a few hours north of Manhattan, Blue Hill in the West Village serves fresh, seasonal veggies at the peak of their deliciousness. Splurge on the vegetarian Farmer's Feast. -
one of the best places to go on a romantic date! Locally sourced menu, loved the asparagus "just picked". -
Greatest service in NYC. Enough said.... -
Sit at the bar on Friday nights - Allison or Peter will be tending the bar. Give them total control of what you eat and drink (outside of major dislikes). Amazing.
