NYC’s Most Beautiful New Restaurants of 2025
As featured in Robb Report’s national roundup
Each year, Robb Report curates a list of the 21 Most Beautiful New Restaurants in America, spotlighting spaces where architecture, ambiance, and culinary artistry converge. In 2025, New York City claimed seven of those coveted spots, with restaurants that range from serene hideaways to maximalist marvels — each one a feast for the eyes as much as the palate.
Whether you’re planning a girls’ night, a solo indulgence, or a special dinner, these design-forward destinations offer more than just a meal. They offer mood, magic, and a moment to savor.
The Seven NYC Standouts
Huso, Tribeca
A sculptural oasis in oak, cream, and deep blue. Curved corners soften the space, while artwork by Keith Haring and porcelain installations by Valéria Nascimento add contemporary elegance. It’s serene, intimate, and quietly breathtaking.
ABC Kitchens, DUMBO
Jean-Georges’ first Brooklyn restaurant glows with antique chandeliers, pink lava stone, rose quartz, and lush florals. Overlooking Jane’s Carousel, it’s a romantic dreamscape with a feminine touch.
Limusina, Midtown
A maximalist Mexican fantasy where every detail feels like a celebration. Velvet banquettes, mirrored ceilings, and a vintage lime-green limousine parked inside the dining room set the tone — playful, theatrical, and unapologetically bold. The space pulses with color and texture: hand-painted tiles, gilded accents, and dramatic lighting evoke the spirit of Mexico City nightlife with a New York twist.
Semma, Greenwich Village
South Indian fine dining in a space that honors the Taj Mahal and traditional Indian craftsmanship. Intricate woodwork, jewel tones, and hand-carved details create a regal, immersive experience.
Bar Miller, East Village
A minimalist sushi counter with just 10 seats, wrapped in warm wood and soft lighting. It’s intimate, meditative, and a masterclass in restraint.
Coqodaq, Flatiron
A Korean fried chicken temple with golden arches, dramatic lighting, and a sleek, futuristic vibe. It’s bold, buzzy, and built for celebration.
Naks, Lower East Side
A Filipino tasting menu served in a moody, art-filled space with deep colors and layered textures. It’s soulful, stylish, and full of heart.

The tomato behind The Three Tomatoes.
Cheryl Benton, aka the “head tomato” is founder and publisher of The Three Tomatoes, a digital lifestyle magazine for “women who aren’t kids”. Having lived and worked for many years in New York City, the land of size zero twenty-somethings, she was truly starting to feel like an invisible woman. She created The Three Tomatoes just for the fun of it as the antidote for invisibility and sent it to 60 friends. Today she has thousands of friends and is chief cheerleader for smart, savvy women who want to live their lives fully at every age and every stage. She is the author of the novel, "Can You See Us Now?" and co-author of a humorous books of quips, "Martini Wisdom." Because she's lived a long time, her full bio won't fit here.
