Best Restaurant Dishes Eater NY Editors Ate This Week, November 17, 2025 | Eater NY

"Mexico City’s two-Michelin-star Pujol has popped up in Manhattan for a 12-day run at WSA until Saturday, November 22; the event is in honor of the restaurant’s 25th anniversary. It’s a $295 experience (you can still snag cancellations) that’s less expensive than making the trek to Enrique Olvera’s restaurant in Mexico. Here, there’s a good chance you’ll see the chef behind the pass. “It’s nice getting back in the kitchen,” he said the night I was there. The dinner includes a sweet potato sope with caviar, a glorious rock crab chileatole, lamb birria, and the classic mole madre (the darker aged sauce) and mole nuevo (the brighter version), served on a plate in concentric circles. It comes with some of the best tortillas I’ve had in a while, pressed with hoja santa, a licorice-scented leaf. Like any excellent restaurant, the dessert did not disappoint; this one was a peanut financier with dark chocolate and the perfect amount of salt." - Bettina Makalintal
