Two historic New York restaurants named "most legendary" in the world
Taste Atlas, a well-known online guide, has released its ranking of the most legendary restaurants around the world. The list includes such famous eateries as Bouillon Chartier in Paris and Pizzeria da Michele in Naples, Italy. These are not just places to eat but places that can be compared to the most famous museums, galleries, and monuments in the world. Each of them has stood the test of time, abandoning fashionable delights in favour of traditional, high-quality cuisine. To skip any of these distinctive culinary or cultural attractions is to miss out on the history, traditions, and local flavour of each city.
The online guide has analyzed all the world's establishments - from small eateries to sprawling 5-star restaurants - to compile an expert list. This year, two New York restaurants made it to the top 150 and officially joined the prestigious list. This was reported by wnbf.com.
No. 18 - Peter Luger Steakhouse
Located in Brooklyn, it is one of the oldest continuously operating restaurants in the state. It has been serving the finest cuts since 1887 and is world-famous for its dry-aged porterhouse. The Atlas of Taste explained why this steakhouse deserves such a high place on the list.
The star of the menu is the porterhouse, a perfectly aged and charred steak served in portions for one, two, three or four. This dish is known for its exceptional tenderness and rich flavour.
No. 11 - Katz's Delicatessen
Unfortunately, this famous place was knocked out of the top 10 by the famous Peter Cat restaurant in Kolkata, India. However, Katz's will forever remain number 1 in hearts around the world. Founded in 1888, this makes Katz's one of the oldest continuously operating delis in America.
Katz's Delicatessen is not just a restaurant, it is a living piece of New York history. Since its founding in 1888, the restaurant has been serving the quintessential New York cuisine, and the pastrami on rye sandwich has become an iconic dish. Perfectly dried, smoked, and seasoned pastrami piled high on rye bread has won over generations of visitors.
Katz's Delicatessen has become an integral part of the city's cultural fabric, recognized worldwide for its commitment to traditional cooking methods and its nostalgic, bustling atmosphere that truly embodies the spirit of New York.
A massive victory for New York
These are the establishments that remain relevant and highly regarded in an ever-changing culinary environment. The list celebrates the enduring icons of gastronomy, restaurants that favour substance over show, serving honest, no-nonsense food that is simply delicious.
As for the world's #1 most legendary restaurant, the guide gave the award to Figlmüller, a restaurant in Vienna, Austria that has been serving world-class schnitzel since 1905.
