The best American restaurants The United States Of America

Vincent is first and foremost a restaurant with an excellent wine list and serves platters of local cheeses for aperitifs. It is also the favourite place for young couples from the neighbourhood to dine. This charming neighbourhood bistro is located in a small, discreet street perpendicular to North Clark Street. Its cuisine is American with European influences. We like the simplicity of the dishes and the generous cuisine. Cheese platters are a must but also try duck confit or steak with shallots and mushrooms for example.

Timber Steakhouse has long served the best meat in Portland. But the Covid crisis shuffled the deck. The owner changed his concept and transformed his restaurant.

You will also have the possibility to eat some welcome appetizers.

In the Lake View district, this restaurant, with its pub atmosphere, good-natured atmosphere and dimmed lights, hides its game well because it is also a good gastro table that has even been rewarded with a gourmet Bib from the Michelin guide.

The best burger in Downtown is here! We didn't come here for the place, a modest estaminet decorated with photos of burgers, all hidden behind a simple red awning. Nor for the neighborhood, the Tenderloin, which is teeming with homeless people. But for these burgers that pack a steak... You can count on juicy, well-cooked meat and ultra-crispy onion rings. And don't forget the mushroom, avocado and pistou toppings... Tip: take it to go and eat it on the steps of Union Square, just a few blocks away!

This restaurant opened in 2015 and has quickly become one of the city's most popular original addresses. Chef Ravi Kapur, a native of Oahu, draws from the Hawaiian culinary tradition to bring you the delights of his island, adding touches of Asian cuisines; Korea, Japan and India thus often come together with Honolulu flavors.

The name says everything. This restaurant is an institution where traditional dishes from the South of the United States are served. Fried chicken, waffles and other dishes full of fat and sugar: we know it's bad for health, but it's so good! With good value for money, this formula attracts local musicians, the Afro-American community (especially families) and young students.

This address does not need to make tons to impress, since it is already in a "castle", the one of the stars. It is indeed in this hotel that many celebrities from all over the world stay when they come to L.A.; the restaurant, accessible to everyone, is therefore full of famous heads. The cuisine is rustically inspired (duck confit with mushrooms, beef bourguignon, sea bass...) but remains elegant. Even if, in the end, no one really comes here exclusively to eat. We go to Le Marmont to be seen, especially if we work nearby, in Hollywood for example. Prices are not as high as we think.

This cafe on Main Street is simply over time. Local ambiance and a full breakfast. Hunting trophés and western land atmosphere. Very photogenic!

It is one of the institutions in the neighbourhood. The menu wants America old school (shrimp cocktail, chicken pie, meatloaf), and it attracts the Hollywood creative band.

Noé, located inside the Omni Hotel, has won the heart of the Downtowners by playing the map of sophistication. The dishes are not only delicious but also served with great elegance.

The chef's office comes from gastronomic cuisine. He decided to open this pub to start the creation of the best hamburger on earth. Come test by yourself! Among its hot breads, beef is crowned with roquefort, bacon and caramelized onions. The bar has only very few tables, but the tail often rises in front of the door. Selection of beers varies with seasons: one more reason to wait. On the other hand, since alcohol is forbidden under the age of 21, we will have to leave the children at home!

A typical and cheap table. At the entrance, a humorous sign greets visitors: " Hot Beer. ! Food. Bad Service» (Hot beer. Poor food. Poor service). In reality, beer is deliciously cool, food is simple but tasty, and the service perfectly correct. Special mention for breakfast and meat (fried chicken, ribs or the inevitable hamburger). Finally, the décor, although slightly aged, is worth a detour, with hundreds of frames paying tribute to the death. A truly authentic establishment!

The best restaurant in this small town of 2 000 inhabitants. Season's differentiates itself from its neighbours offering international and refined cuisine. Some tables have a nice view. Prices are certainly a little high for the region, but the service and presentation have nothing to do with the good San Francisco tables. Extremely tasty dishes, be it salmon, elk or traditional New York Strip Steak.

This worthy representative of the farm-to-fork movement offers a nice map whose dishes are very oriented around meat. The beef, pork and lamb ribs are made perfectly.

Inside the interior surfers with surfing boards to the ceiling and plates of all American states on the walls. Get ready to queue a good time by day and day.

Located south of Bossier City, this coffee has nothing special except it is particularly patriotic. With such a name you can eat only good burgers. Certainly, the decoration, composed only of American flags and other objects to the country's glory, is downright too much and the atmosphere is not always very distinguished, but this coffee is a cheap and fast option in the neighborhood.

Opened in 2014 by chef Kerry Simon, Carson Kitchen is a very good Downtown eatery off Fremont Street. It offers inventive and refined gourmet cuisine at low prices in a modern, elegant setting with a relaxed atmosphere. Small but carefully thought out, the menu offers a nice selection of plates to share, some delicious burgers, several meat and fish dishes, as well as vegetarian options. For dessert, there are only three choices: banoffee pie, donut and brownie. A favorite!

A few steps from Fremont Street, this modern restaurant has a large room with an industrial style décor, open kitchen, brick walls, exposed pipes and black and white photos. There is also a small terrace outside. Reserved for breakfasts, brunches and lunches, this good address serves simple and hearty American classics with a touch of originality. The food is fresh and of high quality, ranging from traditional pancakes to sandwiches and a wide variety of egg dishes.

This romantic yet kitsch restaurant - as evidenced by the rose chosen for its logo - focuses on meats and seafood; vegetarians beware! House specialties include veal escalope, duck lacquered with Maple Bourbon, grilled chicken and beef Wellington served with foie gras and Bordeaux sauce. The icing on the cake: the help of a sommelier to select the right wine. Also, note that the Open Table website awarded Hugo's Cellar its Diner's Choice award in 2016.

A beautiful dinner, open at any time of the day and night, with a beautiful wooden counter, benches and traditional chairs in skai brown inspired by the interiors of the old American cars, serves a classic, simple and correct kitchen of breakfast at dinner: omelet, burgers, fried chicken, giant salads, waffles and pancakes… Rare in L.A., there are all sorts of social classes, from the Mexican worker to the hispter, to the families of the neighborhood. A permissable Los Feliz!

A marine atmosphere for this restaurant, as much on the menu as in the grey-blue setting enhanced by a little red to brighten it up. The result is rather chic. Chefs Douglas Paine and Christopher Lataille let their inspiration sail with the tides and revisit the great classics of the coast: crab cakes, Maine lobster in bouillabaisse, fish & chips, swordfish "ratatouille"... Meat lovers are not left out with a copious duck confit. Nice wine list, with some good French bottles. It is rather successful.

How do you get to Portland without giving in to the lobster song? For years, the Porland Lobster Company has been receiving awards for best lobster roll and best seafood in the city. Located on the Waterfront, this restaurant is always full on a sunny day and its terrace is quickly taken by storm. Lobster is served at market price, steamed, in salads, sandwiches, soups. You can also enjoy delicious fish and chips, burgers or clams. An institution in Portland not to be missed under any circumstances.

Welcome to the Burlington Dinner Temple. The establishment, open since 1925, has been run by the same family since the 1960s. The decor hasn't changed in a long time and the yellow skai bar stools or the long blue bar plunge us into swirls of twist and ice cream so 50's. On the menu, only the classics - from hamburgers to homemade corned beef - can be enjoyed early in the morning or during a lunch break. Coffee is all you can drink, of course. Take a seat in a booth or along the bar, and let yourself be carried away by the atmosphere.

This bistro is unquestionably the best in Wellfleet village. The oysters here are so mischievous that they can only be enjoyed at lunchtime, with a drizzle of lemon or a homemade cocktail sauce. That's right, Americans love their oysters with a tomato or spicy sauce! In the evening, the menu becomes more refined, with a focus on fish. Grilled, pan-fried or fried, it comes in many varieties: salmon, cod, sole, catch of the day... We preferred the main dining room to the veranda overlooking the parking lot. Friendly service.

This is a traditional American restaurant, with two rooms and two distinct atmospheres: the restaurant and the bar. Whichever you choose, you will be facing the sea as the Mooring is located at the foot of the Guilford Marina. The menu is faithful to the classics of the region: lobster roll, clam chowder, crab cakes... more original, the lobster paella, very very very refreshing. The atmosphere is relaxed and good-natured. The building that houses the restaurant, with its characteristic granite walls, dates back to 1838.

This restaurant surfs the wave of the trendy American bistro: bar, open kitchen, bare brick walls and wooden tables, for an industrial result completely in the air of time. The atmosphere is nice and relaxed and the menu is in tune with the setting. You can enjoy a burger, falafels, tempura or a pulled pork sandwich. If you are more hungry, you can indulge in the refreshing mac 'n' cheese or half a braised duck. One thing's for sure, you won't find anything better in North Adams.

This market also makes groceries and restaurant on the thumb. There is lunch on the spot, or order to take delicious louisianaises specialities, such as boiled crayfish, or the po-boy to shrimps, or the Muffaletta, this typical New Orleans sandwiche. Note that their gumbo was elected better gumbo of the US by the very serious Wall Street Journal.
