The Best New Restaurants in New York City of 2025 (So Far) | Condé Nast Traveler

"I found Chez Fifi—a two‑story, dimly lit French bistro on the Upper East Side from the Foulquier brothers—to be pure class: fresh bread with radishes and salty French butter opens the meal, and starters range from buttery bluefin au citron with Ossetra caviar to an omelette à plat with Périgord truffles. Mains like a generous dover sole à la plancha and crispy frites maison with caviar‑topped aioli impressed, and for dessert the chocolate mousse was silky while the crème brûlée ranked as perhaps the best I’ve had in the city." - Charlie Hobbs
