As the only plant-based restaurant in the world to hold three Michelin stars, the fine-dining stalwart continues to push the envelope, offering a dining experience like nowhere else in the world. Owned and operated by Chef Daniel Humm, it has retained its stars since 2011, making history as the first restaurant to retain its stars after changing to a plant-based menu. The exceptional attention to detail goes beyond the food \u2013 every element of the experience is custom made, from the staff\u2019s uniforms to the handblown water vases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michelin stars aren\u2019t the only accolade EMP holds \u2013 it was also crowned #1 in The World\u2019s 50 Best Restaurants in 2017 and now sits in a prestigious list of the \u2018Best of the Best\u2019. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>11 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10010<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">State Bird Provisions, San Francisco<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>State Bird Provisions in San Francisco is out to prove that Michelin-starred food need not cost the world, offering an eclectic menu of Californian ingredients served dim-sum style for very affordable prices. In fact, it\u2019s the most affordable Michelin-starred restaurant in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A constantly evolving menu means there\u2019s always something new to try, but Asian flavours are a recurrent feature, with the likes of nori, yuzu, daikon and miso appearing across the small and large plates. The drinks offering is equally as varied, with everything from skin-contact wine and Belgian beer through to sake and non-alcoholic sodas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1529 Fillmore St, San Francisco, CA 94115<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ariete, Miami<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/The-Farmer_Photo-Credit_-Antonella-Re-4.jpg\" alt=\"-\" class=\"wp-image-15267\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: Antonella Re<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The breadth and depth of Miami\u2019s diverse food culture is centre stage at Ariete, where Executive Chef and Owner Michael Beltran tells a story of the city\u2019s past, present and future through his prix fixe and tasting menus.

Every evening, Chef Grant Achatz and his team offer three distinct hospitality experiences \u2013 The Kitchen Table, The Gallery and The Salon \u2013 each with their own measures of theatre and pleasure. Watch the chefs at their best from the Kitchen Table with an immersive and cutting-edge tasting menu, or ready your senses for an experience like no other in the Salon or Gallery, where experimental moments meet the very best of fine dining. With no menu available prior to your visit, you\u2019ll have to put your trust in Chef Achatz\u2019s starry hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1723 N Halsted St, Chicago, IL 60614<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Le Comptoir, Los Angeles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Vegetables take centre stage at Le Comptoir, an intimate 10-person counter experience hidden inside the historic Hotel Normandie in the heart of LA\u2019s Koreatown. Chef Gary Menes sources seasonal ingredients from his own kitchen garden in Long Beach to create an eight-course vegetable-led tasting menu that bears all the hallmarks of Michelin-starred dining, without any of the pretence. With a direct view into the kitchen from your counter spot, watch as the passionate chefs bring each dish to life and then explain it \u2013 it doesn\u2019t get much more personal than that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3606 West Sixth St, Los Angeles CA 90020<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pineapple &amp; Pearls, Washington, D.C.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Scott-Suchman-Photo-1-1-1024x907.jpeg\" alt=\"-\" class=\"wp-image-15274\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: Scott Suchman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Forget white tablecloths and silver service \u2013 Pineapple &amp; Pearls puts the party first!

Just don\u2019t forget your glad rags \u2013 there&#8217;s no official dress code but if there was, it would be fancy!
