ELEVEN MADISON PARK’S DANIEL HUMM IS OPENING A NEW RESTAURANT DOWNTOWN

The chef behind Eleven Madison Park, the three-Michelin-starred restaurant once called the “best in the world,” is opening something new.

Chef Daniel Humm has signed a lease for a 5,000-square-foot restaurant in the West Village, at 435 Hudson Street, between Leroy and Morton streets, Crain’s New York Business reports. The property, built in 1931, is a nine-story office with storefronts from Adidas and L’Oreal. The restaurant will open on the ground floor of the building next year, per a spokesperson for Humm.

The West Village restaurant is in addition to Bar Clemente, a “first-of-its-kind cocktail and culinary experience” that was announced by Humm last month.

Eleven Madison Park has been open in Flatiron since 1998, originally under Danny Meyer. Daniel Humm and Will Guidara took over in 2011, and in 2019, Humm bought out Guidara: “It was clear they were both ready for the relationship to change,” the New York Times reported at the time.

In 2022, Humm shocked the world when he announced that Eleven Madison Park would become a vegan restaurant. Early reviews were scathing, but the restaurant has retained its three-Michelin-star rating. This spring, Humm rolled out a (less expensive) alumni series marking the restaurant’s 25th anniversary, with chefs that included Connie Chung of Milu. the late James Kent of Saga, Crown Shy, and Overstory; and chef Flynn McGarry of Gem.
