The Michelin Guide's review
LittleMäd is making a rather large splash on this unexpected stretch of Madison Avenue. The décor is cool and cutting edge, showcasing the likes of concrete floors and a glass case gleaming with wine bottles. This narrow, industrial space hums with energy from both the young, hard-working team as well as the chatty diners.Chef Sol Han has created a menu that offers freedom of choice in its à la carte compositions, all of which delight with endless—even some Korean—surprises. The Mäd toast with beef tartare, or the radicchio Treviso, topped with lardo and uni, make for great apps; but barbecue eel rendered as a riff on "galbi" is clearly the shining star. Desserts are limited but the Paris Brest is properly prepared and mustn't be missed.
