Closed · Opens at 5:00 PM47 E Houston St 1st floor, New York, NY 10012

Estela sits on East Houston Street, a ten-minute walk from the Bowery. It is a modern, creative French venue that holds a Michelin star.

The space feels more intimate than the oversized dining rooms common to this corner of the city, which is why its 4.68 rating from over 1,300 reviews remains remarkably consistent. While the neighbourhood leans into casual, high-volume storefronts, the room runs smart and elegant. Choosing Estela over its neighbours is a decision to prioritize focused, experimental cooking over the frantic energy typical of the surrounding blocks. It is an expensive experience, but the precision of the kitchen justifies the cost against the more haphazard competition nearby.
