Two NYC restaurants just cracked the World's 100 Best Restaurants list for 2025
New York City just added two more reasons to flex its culinary muscle: César and Le Bernardin have landed spots on the World's 50 Best Restaurants extended list for 2025, which ranks restaurants around the world from 51 through 100.
Released ahead of the main awards ceremony in Turin, Italy, on June 19 (where the top 50 dining destinations of the year will be announced), this year's 51–100 list spans six continents and features standout kitchens from 25 territories. Of the eight North American entries, two are right here in Manhattan and both are masters of the sea.
Making a splash at No. 98 is César, the elegant, seafood-focused restaurant from chef César Ramirez. Located in a century-old space at 333 Hudson Street, the sleek dining room, which has both counter and table seating, gives a front-row view of the kinetic open kitchen. Ramirez, best known for his Michelin-starred work at Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare, serves a 13-course tasting menu built on Japanese precision, French technique and impeccable ingredients from around the world. Highlights include Norwegian langoustine with shiso and caviar, and sawara paired with yuzu kosho. It's made for a confident debut for a chef known for holding himself to impossibly high standards—and meeting them.
Also holding steady is midtown's beloved Le Bernardin, coming in at No. 90. A mainstay of fine dining since 1986, the Midtown temple to seafood continues to reel in global acclaim under the stewardship of Chef Eric Ripert. The menus, which range from a vegetarian tasting to a chef's selection of greatest hits, strike a delicate balance of French sophistication and Asian influence. Nearly 40 years in, the restaurant remains one of the city's most consistent fine-dining experiences, with service and flavors as polished as ever.
This year's list welcomed 12 new entries from cities like Tulum, San Francisco and Queenstown, reflecting the evolving diversity of global dining. North America's strong showing also included Atelier Crenn in the Bay Area and Huniik in Mérida, Mexico.

But he has gained an army of fans outside the sport because of his account on the infamous adult site. In his biography, he describes himself as 'sexiest professional tennis player from France'. OnlyFans is a platform where people can post risque photos and images of themselves, some of which are semi-pornographic, and earn lots of cash from the public.

France's No.4 best player says the site organisers are trying to change their tardy image and he likes to show off instead behind-the-scenes footage from tournaments around the world. However, he is NOT allowed to post content from the Wimbledon locker rooms and can only show off facilities which are in public areas.

Then I showed them my platform and they said: 'Okay, it's very cool.' Everybody wants to sign up now. 'I started two years ago. After two-three months the ATP (the sport's governing body) told me to get the OnlyFans logo off my sleeve. 'They said it was not the image of the ATP and wanted me to stop.' Other tennis stars on the site include Australian maverick Nick Kyrgios, French ace Chloe Paquet and Spaniard Pedro Martinez, who faces Britain's George Loffhagen in the first round on Tuesday.

'When I go on OnlyFans there are only real fans who support me and send some nice messages even after some matches I've lost. 'I enjoy talking to these kinds of people and not the guys on Instagram. 'About 99 per cent of people who talk to me are very nice. There's no problem. 'DO I POST RISQUE PHOTOS?' 'People ask me about what happens behind the scenes, what does it look like, the gym, the courts. I just post things about tennis. 'Do I post risque photos? No, no. I don't do it. Because I don't want to. 'My job is a tennis player. Not making movies for adults. I received a lot of messages, saying: 'Alex, can you show me this?' But not my body. 'I like to show people where I go in the world, some nice places, my routine. 'It's not easy every day being a tennis player. We train every week. Not a lot of days off or holidays.
