2011 Forbes Travel Guide 5 Star Restaurant Awards

Forbes Travel Guide has announced the 53rd Annual List of Four- and Five-Star Award winners for 2011. Forbes Travel Guide, formerly Mobil Travel Guide, is the original rating system for the best hotels, restaurants, and spas in North America. It has provided comprehensive ratings and reviews since 1958. In October 2009, Mobil Travel Guide became Forbes Travel Guide as a result of partnership with Forbes Media LLC.

For the 2011 ratings, 23 restaurants have been awarded five stars. This year's five-star restaurant list remains almost unchanged from the previous year.

Both of the new additions are located in New York City. Daniel, a spectacular contemporary French-style restaurant run by the fabulous Chef Daniel Boulud finally regains the 5 star status it lost back in 2004.

Eleven Madison Park features a French-influenced greenmarket cuisine prepared masterfully by Daniel Humm who won the 2010 James Beard Foundation Award for Best Chef New York City.
