Blue Hill at Stone Barns Named among World's 50 Best Restaurants

Blue Hill at Stone Barns, the renowned restaurant on the Rockefeller Estate in Pocantico Hills, was named one of the 50 best eateries in the world by William Reed Business Media.

The ranking, sponsored by S.Pellegrino & Acqua Panna, lists Blue Hill at #49.

“A new entry to The World’s 50 Best Restaurants this year, Blue Hill at Stone Barns is a restaurant offering a dining experience so unique and special, it has the power to change your perspective on food,” writes the publication.

“Located at the Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture – a working four-season farm and educational facility some 30 miles north of New York City – co-owner and executive chef Dan Barber’s goal is to evoke a consciousness about the effect of everyday food choices. Using all of the farm’s bounty, he not only sources produce locally from the Hudson Valley, but is pushing his own boundaries by growing and cross-pollinating plants to create experimental cultivars,” it adds.
