Olmsted
New York, US
The restaurant's name is inspired by the architect Frederick Law Olmsted, who was behind many urban parks including nearby Prospect Park. So it seems only fitting that chef Greg Baxtrom has created a seasonal, vegetable-driven menu that sources ingredients from the restaurant's pretty back garden and local farmers' markets. Baxtrom puts a wealth of experience clocked up at The World's 50 Best regulars Blue Hill at Stone Barns and Alinea to good use. Colourful snacks and vitamin-packed appetizers include cauliflower okonomiyaki, summer squash som tum and the signature carrot crepe, while greens-led mains include heirloom tomato schnitzel and rutabaga 'tagliatelle'. It's not all veg, chicken and seafood also feature. There's a wine pairing, but for cocktails that take inspiration from the great outdoors with ingredients like lavender, fennel and raspberry, this is the place.
