The best new restaurants for 2017

Made Nice (New York)
Daniel Humm and Will Guidara need no introduction to New York gourmands thanks to their three-Michelin-star Eleven Madison Park.
Their newest venue Made Nice, set to open in the summer, promises meals based around seasonal vegetables and proteins for just $15 per person.
Diners can also expect more of the sense of theater and legendary service that's made Eleven Madison Park such a favorite with diners and critics alike.

Top chefs on tour: 10 culinary pop-ups

Fifteen years in the making, Ultraviolet opened in May 2012 offering an avant-garde 20-course menu to 10 guests per night from a mysterious building somewhere in Shanghai (guests are escorted from a designated meeting point).
This immersive dining experience from French chef Paul Pairet takes shape within a bare-bones room with no décor, no artifacts and no views.
Instead, 360-degree wall projections, table projections, scent diffusers and a multichannel speaker system set the tone, enhancing diners' experience of flavor through a meticulously controlled atmosphere.
Ultraviolet landed at No. 24 on the coveted World's 50 Best Restaurants list in 2015, making it even more difficult to get into.
Ten seats become available at midnight Shanghai time each night for bookings 90 days in advance.

Not just tastes: These restaurants hit all five senses
