Foragers Table

Top choice in West Village, Chelsea & Meatpacking District


The owners of this outstanding restaurant run a 28-acre Hudson Valley farm, from which much of the seasonal menu is sourced. It changes frequently, but recent temptations included pan-roasted duck breast with poached pears, mushroom pappardelle with sherry and toasted almonds, and cauliflower steak with sweet-potato tahini and sumac onions.

Next door is the gourmet market (open 8am to 10pm Monday to Saturday, to 9pm Sunday), where you can browse goodies from organic produce to heavenly desserts. From 8am to 3:30pm Monday to Friday you're free to eat things bought here at the restaurant tables. There's also a wine shop with an excellent selection of natural wines from small producers.
