This video convinced me to eat at home for $5.

Your videos never disappoint👏🏻 I like that you guys weren’t being biased (not blatantly saying everything is perfectly delicious) with your opinions and I’m sure your audiences will appreciate your honesty👍🏻

Comparing this to some of the 1-2 star meals I've had in Europe, it feels like Michelin gives out stars way easier in America. You could have an amazing tasting menu here for the price of just that truffle risotto!

The white truffle risotto was so expensive you could buy another Michelin starred restaurant experience, haha! Thank you for the video always, looking forwards to another video.

This video is the only positive one I have seen about NY and actually made me want to visit again, despite all the news. That's an accomplishment.

Those little comments truly top-up the video. Perfect improvement. Especially those few remarks that pleasantly calibrate it all with a pinch of sarcasm. It really makes the laboratory over-seriousness of the contemporary fine food scene more fun, and down-to-earth, so to speak. Well done! I mean .. medium rarely done!

That was a very accurate presentation of the dining experience at Per Sé. I also appreciated your rating of the supplements and why. Very useful for my next visit. I enjoyed the experience thoroughly.

Superb video ❤️ I'm getting used to with your no-commentary videos, so this is kind of surprised.

me eating frozen food while watching this

I appreciate the critical approach unlike previous videos where always everything seemed great..(even gods deserve critique).also commentary feature is appreciated

I have enjoyed numerous Michelin starred experiences over the past 30 years in my country of residence Belgium but also in my native The Netherlands as well as in France and Germany. Most of our meals in top restaurants cost a fraction of what I saw in your vid and although it's not difficult to spend similar amounts of money in top restaurants, especially in Paris, Berlin or London, we usually avoid such places because I'm simply not prepared to pay so much money knowing I can eat something maybe a bit less fancy but equally delicious for much less. And it's not what I can afford but what I want to pay for good food. Nearby my town of residence is a 1 star Michelin place where the tasting menu costs 80 euro. A classically trained chef serves tasty dishes made with first class ingredients. The wine pairing comes in at 30 euro but the menu price leaves enough space in the budget to splurge on a good bottle. My wife have been dining there with our kids on every occasion worth celebrating the last five years and we were never disappointed. And I would have left there and then, had the waiter asked me if I wanted any "upgrades"! What kind of question is that??? Maybe that's normal in the US (where my father lived, we've been over to visit them and do holidays there at least 15 times) but in normal places in Europe it's simply unheard of and felt as "pushy" by customers. Conclusion: interesting to see what Per Se has to offer but I don't expect to dine there anytime soon!

I like your honest evaluation of the experience!

What a beautiful in depth glimpse of the full dinner! My favorite dish will always be oysters and pearls!

Those In-Game purchases add up quick

Whoa, holy shit. I had to go get my second monocle to watch this.

Thomas Keller is the REAL DEAL

Thanks for sharing! Per Se looks like quite an experience. Your videos are always wonderful and honest. Love your work!

Love your channel. Gives everyone a taste of what to except

Super helpful. Thank you!

great video, shares the atmosphere and the dishes at Per Se in a wonderful way!

You guys made me cry on this one. Nice to see Chad on the pass, he used to me my sous chef at the Commis kitchen back then. But I must say the menu when I worked there was superior

I was at Per Se many years ago (2008). Had the lunch menu. It was pretty good, but not spectacular. I'd go back and try again, though.

I spy Ayaka Guido on the pass, pay attention to that chef! Keep her on your radar…

Gorgeous plates and cutlery

Great video~ Thanks to me, chef's table at Brooklyn fare was amazing~

the commentary is an amazing addition! great video as always guys

That is very expensive. Great video and nice to hear your thoughts. .

Great video!

Looks great! Thanks for another great video! Funny thing is that perse means ass in finnish 😁

This hits home I worked at Per Se for one year. Was the best year of my life. But im talking about 2015/16

Super cool that they let you film in the kitchen.

I’ve had some REALLY expensive meals but damn, $180 for truffle risotto is next level. I’ve had some incredibly good whole tasting menu meals for less than that price 😂

Very similar dishes to what we had at the French Laundry which makes sense with both being Thomas Kellar restaurants.

So AWESOME THANKS FOR SHARING

I get that everything is top quality and that all of what you've shown is, no doubt, made with a lot of effort. But for more than 700 dollars I would expect decently generous portions and perhaps some zing to the experience. This doesn't really get me excited. Then again, who am I to talk, I'm nerdy dude on a phone on a bus that can't even go to a restaurant. Reeeeeeeeeeee

Really enjoyed the editing on this; subscribed!

What cameras did you use and was the staff ok with you taping?

No matter the total cost of a restaurant bill, it's unfortunate when you spend a lot of money, (especially on upgrades), and walk away not feeling completely satisfied. The desserts did look really tasty though.

When the toilet consumes more money than my wallet as of now... (Nice video! Keep it up!)

Very helpful thanks

Just scored a reservation for next week! Really looking forward to it!

The most expensive place in NY - "wOuLd yOu lIkE tO UpGrAdE?" The cheek of them lol

Makes my day when y’all upload new videos!!

seems like New York is a decade behind from Scandinavia and some of Europe. all might be tasty but overall feel is like, they have a catching up to do

It was interesting to see.

@ 1:44 do those prices include a diamond mine and an oil well?

Your video just came across to me and enjoyed a lot! Thank you. I have few questions. If you can answer, it would be super. I wonder if you prearranged it for shooting. Second, If you use flashlight during the dining in dining room cause video looks really high quality. Thank you!

There are 3 Michelin star restaurants costing half the price and looks much better than this over indulgence just because they can. Michelin handing out stars like they're cupcakes

Seems like the pastry kitchen is a level above the rest....

amazing video. the only one disturbing was, that the salat wasn't on the center of the plate. It looks like they forgot something.

We ate at le Bernadin this past year, and although its a wonderful experience. For normal working class people, forking over a $1000 and up for a meal is almost criminal. Sure a wonderful wine arrangement and unmatched hospitality are amazing to experience as you feel like a millionaire or a celebrity for a night. But if you, just like you guys, are familiar with the world of fine dining, you know that there are restaurants that offer similar experiences for a lot less money. The profit margins on the plates are beyond extreme and although I get that you pay for perfection in ingredients and execution, there is a point of diminishing returns. Plus at any NYC restaurant you pay for the fact that you eat in NYC cause everything in this city seems to be more expensive then the exact same thing somewhere else. If we ever hit the lottery we'll try all of them. If you make tons of money and you can afford it regularly , good for you. But if you work a 9 to 5 you will need to save up for this and you can do it a couple times in your life time. Makes it special though!!

This is a refreshing review compared to others that seem to glamorize the experience to the point of incredulity, that it may really be an overhyped money grab. I've wondered if there's a little psychology going on that causes a need to believe it's better than it really is just because I'm gonna need to sell a kidney when I'm done to pay for this thing. Lol. I love this review and the occasional hints of sarcasm swirled in.

LMAO @ The Jefferson's sunset intro in Central Park

I love this type of video. I would love to see you guys go to Japan

I was at Per Se a couple of years ago (sept 2019) and I felt disappointed. 3 stars should be worth the journey, as stated by Michelin, but my experience was not in line with that statement. Service was good but I can't share your opinion. Professional yes but warmth .... Dishes looked promising but i was never overwhelmed by any of them and none of them were surprising. If i compare it vis a vis the Spanish or Belgian top restaurants then either they need to revisit the star allocation or give the European restaurants even more accolades. For the amount of money paid you should have a special experience and it didn't materialize. It might be 3 stars in the USA but not in Europe. i would advise Thomas Keller to go and visit El Celler Can Roca, Noma, Geranium, de Librije, Hof van Cleve, ... to experience genuine 3 stars. Maybe his other restaurant can live up to the expectation but Per Se definetely not. Thanks for your high quality video's by the way.

Those prices are eye watering.

Thank you for the insight I'll hit the prime house because you made that feel like you got robbed and left disappointed in the meal due to paying $800

My favorite restaurant in New York is Mission Ceviche on 72nd between 2nd and 1st. Go there for lunch and get some ceviches, super light, quick and the BEST place for me. Such a great atmosphere and true Peruvian cuisine. The dishes I'd recommend are: Classic Ceviche, Yellowfin Tartare, Hamachi Tiridto (Must have), The Avechado is good but then you HAVE to get the Scallops in parmesan and the Arscoz Paella dish. Also such great mixed drinks, get the mojito and at the end of the meal ask for a VIP Shot with either the orange and purple liquid ;). By the way, my beef with these michelin restaurants is that at a point, it's really hard to get so much better. Sure, some bites are incredible, but they're just bites. I think it's a fun experience if you have the money, but really, places like Mission Ceviche are just as good for a FRACTION of the price.

One day when you make it to the French laundry would love a comparison

The attractive restaurant and the Michelin meals were excellent. Very expensive in NYC. I remember I ate in Singapore at the Michelin star restaurant in winter 2018. Didn't remember the name of the restaurant and was closed one year later. Small portions and expensive prices. The truffle risotto at this restaurant was outrageous. I ate the truffle risotto in Bellagio, Italy (Lake Como) was much better and cheap. It was around summer 2018 or 2019

Greetings! Nice to meet you, I love you content - You are doing an amazing job so far! I wish you good fortune! You have my support! 🙏🏻 +1 Subscriber 🌺

I've been to almost all of the Michelin star restaurants in NYC, Per Se was a very wonderful experience, I hope that you went to their kitchen, they have a live stream to the French Laundry in LA. But for the record, out of the many other Michelin star options, Per Se is low on the list honestly

I’m so jealous!

We had the full experience back in 2014. Most alcohol ever for a dinner. It was $650 back then

I've been to a few Michelin star restaurants .....what I can say is have a good lunch beforehand else you will need a pizza after. Miniature food I don't think is my style but ok to try 1 time (more than ok if I'm not paying)

The price on the white truffle upgrade is absurd. A few years ago I had the white truffle tasting at babbo for a similar price as the upgrade alone and that was 4 or 5 dishes of fresh shaved white truffles. Yea I expect a few premiums for being per se but that’s a bit much.

Fine dining . looks interesting ,an expensive but it Soo little food , .I do my own cooking since 8 year old ,never had fast food ,I'm 40 an never been in McDonald's nor any pizza store ever.il learn these recipes an fine tune it to my taste 😁😁

I would love to eat there, then I’d love to cook there.

Love this video so much! May I ask which camera you used?

700 plus dollars ???? are the wines included for that price ??? For me the best chefs are in Spain and Holland . There is a chef in Barcelona and one in Denia you should visit and encounter a 22 course fine dining meal with wines for the halt of the price in New york !!!!

What an experience!

$725, I rather give to my grandma and cook me her tasting menu instead...

should definitely try chefs table at brooklyn fare instead of perse lol the portion at perse has always looked like a joke and their pricing is even more of a joke than their portioning 😆

If you look up pretentious… this is what should pop up😂😂😂

They used to offer an extended menu… don’t know if they still do. It’s twice the length of their regular menu and lasts 5 hours. I had it six years ago for a career milestone celebration and I still remember it vividly to this day.

Thomas Keller is a national treasure.

Sounded as if you liked it, but would've loved it for 1/3 of the price.

I am guessing that asking for a doggie bag wouldn't go over too well. 😮

Brought out 3 plates for that tiny little green thing 😂. What’s that like 200 bucks

All I saw were snacks. Where is the food? 😂

Seeing the supplementary menu along with what was given in the normal tasting was disappointing to see due to it just being a copy and paste of French Laundry basic tasting menu items, This should’ve been a cutting edge experience but seeing what you were given is upsetting seeing how it’s not innovative or exciting just … safe. Thank you for sharing your non biased experience as now I can see this is a standard wagyu, truffle, and foie gras michelin restaurant

Nice

Fine dining is food for the brain and stomach but I prefer family style for my stomach only

How do you compare this experience to Jean-Georges and Eleven Madison Park? I want to try one of those but not sure which one is the best in terms of price/experience. Thank you for the video!

❤️ 🍽

Ouch Per Se. Curious if any of these dishes will make next years best list, if nothing makes it then safe to say not worth it.

satisfying！

There's a limit in life to everything and that price for a menu is totally over the top ridiculous. They should be totally ashamed of themselves for taking the piss out of the public with those prices.... for food. In this current world covid crisis it simply defies belief. The supplements add an extra "knife in the back"....unreal. Good video work as always guys 😘

100 bucks max, location and atmosphere included

Compared to any 3-Michelin-stars restaurant here in Europe, the whole experience seems OFFENSIVELY OVERPRICED! Not only any 3 stars restaurant in France or Italy will charge you basically half than that for their tasting-menu, not only it will serve you twice as many courses, what's truly concerning is the overall quality! Yes, they're all premium ingredients, but there is literally NO FANTASY, NO INNOVATION, NO WOW-EFFECT! Anybody can scoop caviar from a tin can or grill a piece of wagyu, I'm literally SHOCKED, they have no excuses to justify that price other than the view, which is the only unique thing in that restaurant, but by New York standards it isn't even so great! Michelin works differently in America, here that place would never, ever get the third star. Never, for no reason, ever. Wonderful video, thanks!

Jules Verne in Eiffel Tower is about as pricey as I've gotten. But this place is nuts in comparison. This may have passed into "Charge a lot just b/c we can" territory. Ironically, the most expensive dish, the truffles, is the only plate where the price can be justified.

Yes, everything looks good, and expensive it was. But all the food came out in such a small portion, do not know if you were full after all that food 😬

WOW! After that miniscule set menu I'll bet you got a couple gyros on the street at $10 each! I didn't see anything so, so special especially the upgraded dish, LOL! Yes, that was a waste of money! Per Se not the only game in town! Your money would be better spent elsewhere.

Have to say this looks like 1-2 Michelin star 150-250$ tasting menu. Ok, I cant say anything about taste.

Do you agree with Pete Well's 2/5 star review of Per Se?

I love you guys 😘 Thank you for so delicious 😋 vlogs ❤️ it's sensational 😘 Dear Kaitlin you are always stunning but in this video you give a lot of charming 😍👍

A lot of these videos shows the bill at the end. That would have been nice. Still . .nice video .. thanks

I'm curious, do you actually pay for your meals at these restaurants?

TBH it seems quite subpar compared to the price. I went to Lido84 in a week ago and it was an outstanding meal for less than a quarter of the price (oscillation menu + extra cacio and pepe in bladder was 120€). The only 3star I experienced so far is Guy Savoy which was half what Per Se cost, but maybe I'm not factoring the NYC price on top of it. Have you been too Guy Savoy? The Truffle Parmesan Soup is unbelievable Aside of the price, few dishes got my attention in this video. Cheers as always from your Italian follower from the start!

They were most generous with the desert hmmm
