Nix

"Chef John Fraser, whose vegetable obsession has made a mark on the menus of both his Michelin-starred Dovetail and his second restaurant, Narcissa , has created an entirely plant-based menu at his latest New York City spot. In an inviting, minimalist dining room near the Union Square Greenmarket, where most of Nix’s produce is sourced, the seasonal menu is divided into two parts: “lighter” (baby carrots en papillote with Moroccan butter) and “bolder” (Yukon potato fry bread, topped with sour cream, cheddar, scallions, broccoli florets, and radishes). Don’t miss the desserts from Italivi Reboreda, including nun’s puffs with goat’s milk caramel dip, or Soraya Odishoo’s cocktails, such as the gin, sake, and honey-infused Honey Bee."

"Nix’s house-made take on naan, lightly seasoned with za’atar, was a popular starter at chef John Fraser’s bustling ode to vegetables located a few blocks from Washington Square Park... With or without eyebrow hair, Fraser attracted a ton of buzz to Nix and its meatless menu from the moment it opened its doors, in February 2016. The early attention and praise culminated in a Michelin star in 2017..." - Eater Staff
