Foragers Table

The decade-old farm-to-table restaurant helmed by Chef Olivier Palazzo features his boldly reimagined “modernMediterranean” menu along with a far-sighted wine and cocktails program. Worldly and well-traveled, Palazzo’s influence also extends to Foragers Market’s beloved“grab-and-go” grocery, which serves as a home base for Foragers Table. Tucked gently just beyond the Market, the restaurant will soon debut an after-hours live music program with a relaxed and jazzy vibe. A Palazzo “musttry” is his elevated take on a classic Vitello tomato servedwith anchovy mayonnaise and capers, the eggplant confit with rich bottarga, as well as a beautifully steamed crispy artichoke delicately doused with garlic, citrus, oregano vinaigrette, and shaved parmesan. “The artichoke literally opens up like a flower,” Palazzo explains.Foragers Table is a bright spot on an under-the-radar Chelsea block beloved by locals and newcomers alike.ForagersMarket.com/restaurant
