Drew Nieporent is an American restaurateur based in New York City. His company Myriad Restaurant Group owns and operates numerous restaurants. Nieporent's Nobu and Nobu London both earned two Michelin stars.

Career

Nieporent's first restaurant, Montrachet (1985), earned three stars from The New York Times and kept that rating for 19 years.[1] In 2008, the restaurant reopened as Corton, reinstating its three-star New York Times status and receiving an unprecedented two Michelin stars with chef-partner Paul Liebrandt at the helm.[2]

In 1994, again with partner Robert De Niro and sushi master Nobu Matsuhisa, Drew launched Nobu, which would earn worldwide acclaim. Nobu NYC,[3] Next Door Nobu,[4] and Nobu Fifty Seven[5] have all earned the three-star rating from The New York Times. Nobu NYC was voted Best Restaurant in America by The James Beard Foundation.[6] Nobu has gone on to open restaurants all over the world.[7]

In 2002, Tribeca Grill joined Rubicon and Montrachet (previous award-earners) on the exclusive list.[8] In 2005, Myriad opened Crush Wine & Spirits, which was named the best new wine shop by Food & Wine Magazine, and made Food & Wine's 2017 list of The World's Best Wine Shops.[9]

Bâtard won the 2014 James Beard Foundation Award for Best New Restaurant.[10] Bâtard closed in 2023.[11]
