Jean-Georges
Businessman, restauranteur and world-famous chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten has collected awards like others collect stamps. Born in Alsace, and trained in the South of France, he also spent some time in Asia, developing a passion for flavours and textures, and developing his signature “vibrant cuisine”. The elegant dining experience of Jean-Georges in New York, with a neutral colour palette, and views of Central Park, sets off the sophisticated menu to perfection.
