The Hottest New Restaurants in Manhattan, February 2025
"The $95 tasting menu at Acru comes from Daniel Garwood, a former sous chef at Atomix, joining a number of new tasting menus keeping the price under $100 (there’s also an a la carte menu at the bar). The menu aims to take a fine dining look at Australian cooking with some Nordic influences. Damper bread is served with a grilled greens sabayon, and there’s a dish with “seamite,” Garwood’s take on Vegemite. Save room for desserts like a reimagination of a Golden Gaytime bar, pops of bruleed pretzel ice cream made with toasted hay, says Eater writer Jaya Saxena who stopped by in its early months." - Emma Orlow, Eater Staff
