Updated March 12, 2019

Christina Tosi, chef and founder of New York’s award-winning Milk Bar bakery, knows a thing or two about amazing food. Aside from her own culinary achievements (which have earned her several James Beard Awards), Milk Bar is an off shoot of David Chang’s world-famous Momofuku restaurant group, and she has worked in some of the city’s best restaurants. We wanted to find out where this adventure seeking business woman likes to eat when she travels around the country visiting her many Milk Bar storefronts, so we asked...

About the restaurant
My favorite restaurant of Jose Andres’ long before I decided to become a chef. This place offers an innovative menu inspired by Turkish, Greek and Lebanese cuisines - a true crowd pleaser.

About the restaurant
Breakfast, lunch, dinner or drinks, this is the Milk Bar crew’s home base in DC. A round of pommes frites for the table is a must (mayo + ketchup on the side, always & obviously).

About the restaurant
A slice of home away from my NYC home. This elegant eatery is sure to please your taste buds. Be sure to check out the Giannini Bar for a drink before or after your scrumptious dinner.

Love the ambience and food was good. Very little bit salty lobster for me, but that depends on person. Limited food selection. Parking wise there is valet.

About the restaurant
Nancy Silverton is a boss. I always get her chopped salad at Pizzeria Mozza, but her Ribollita Da Delfina, toasts/bruschetta and ALL the pastas at Osteria Mozza keep me coming back. Plus, I can walk to Milk Bar for dessert afterwards - huge win in my book!

Really awesome experience. We did the bread and Caesar salad as apps which were amazing. Our server did a really nice job pairing wines for us. Brown butter ravioli was decadent and excellent. Loved the butternut squash tortellini, sweet winter pasta. Pro Tip: save some bread to dip in the pasta sauce. Did the Bunet for desert, I didn't love it but my partner did. It was a little too overwhelmingly almondy for me. I would try something different next time. But overall, one of the best meals I've ever had. Every bite was a delight and I will definitely be coming back. Service was excellent. Great choice for a date night.

Classic, plus my pops used to run it and it was one of my husband's first jobs. This farm-to-table spot offers seasonal menus with the freshest produce there is!

From the moment we walked in, until we left, the experience was just spectacular! Jason E hosted us the entire time we were there celebrating my wife’s birthday. His attention to detail and service was just exemplary! Thank you spago team, for an unforgettable night! Both my wife and I, were simply amazed by your hospitality! Jay K.

About the restaurant
Gotta support my co-host, plus I'd order 6 beef Wellington’s to my room if I could. If steak is your thing, this is your place.

Everything was absolutely amazing and I would go back in a heart beat. The service was out of this world and the food and drinks were top notch. Recommend to anyone who is looking to have a nice dinner or celebrate an event.

About the restaurant
Jamie and Ken made Boston feel like home during our Milk Bar opening. Small plates inspired by global cuisines make for a unique dining experience...and I never leave without trying all the desserts.
