NEW YORK - The fifth annual edition of the Michelin dining guide for New York has anointed a new three star restaurant, awarding its highest honor to French chef Daniel Boulud for his eatery Daniel.

Boulud joins two other Frenchman with three star-rated New York restaurants -- Jean-Georges Vongerichten for Jean-Georges and Eric Ripert for Le Bernardin.

Rounding out the city's list of three star-rated establishments are Japanese restaurant Masa, owned by Masa Takayama, and Per Se, owned by California chef Thomas Keller.

There was bad news as well as good for the city's French chefs, with Alain Ducasse's restaurant Adour at the Saint Regis Hotel dropping from the two star rating it received last year, just a few months after opening, to one star.

Six restaurants received two star ratings, with four hanging onto the award from last year, including Momofuku Ko, owned by American chef David Chang.

Newcomers to the two star category were Alto, an upscale Italian restaurant on the Upper East Side, much-loved by the New York media, and Corton, in the Tribeca neighorbood, a favorite of food critics, run by young British chef Paul Liebrandt. - AFP/vm
