Daniel - Top New York Restaurant - View this location on map Classy yet warm, refined yet earthy, Daniel is a knockout French restaurant with the soul of a small cafe. The almost overwhelming menu offers tough choices: will it be the cod in a black-truffle jacket, the amazing braised pig belly and stuffed trotters or the squab with spiced pineapple and a giant French fry made from cumin-spiced chickpea puree? After a slow start, Daniel has reached the top according to the New York Times. 60 E. 65th St., New York, New York Restaurant
