More than a celebration of taste, it is a celebration of time—bringing together timeless classics, guest favorites, and inventive modern creations that have shaped The Met’s culinary reputation over the years.
“Our 25th Anniversary menu is a heartfelt homage to our culinary evolution,” shares Executive Chef Swapnadeep Mukherjee, the creative force behind this gastronomic tribute. “We’ve revisited the most beloved dishes from our archives and elevated them with today’s finest techniques. Each plate tells a story—a blend of nostalgia and innovation.”
Guests can indulge in this menu at the hotel’s flagship restaurants:
