Galanga
There's no need to be a guest at the lovely Monsieur George hotel to enjoy the many delights of chef Thomas Danigo’s romantic Art Deco–style dining room, where he earned a Michelin star last year. Danigo plays on unexpected and exotic flavor pairings, texture, and color in refined but unpretentious dishes like tender skate lacquered in a nutty beurre noisette and served with Jerusalem artichoke purée with hints of apple cider vinegar to boost the mellowness of the fish and vegetables. Desserts like apples caramelized in salted butter with buckwheat ice cream over flecks of vanilla bean are not to be missed. This is a hot ticket, and the cozy dining room seats only 30, so sure to reserve ahead of time.
