An Elm Grows in New Canaan

When the likes of Jay Fielding (Town & Country Editor in Chief), mentions Elm, a local favorite, in the same breath as El Bulli, a Michelin 3-star restaurant on the Spanish Costa Brava (now sadly closed), you know it’s time to make a reservation… and fast!  While El Bulli’s chef, Ferran Adria, was known to cook the most “imaginative haute cuisine on the planet” and put molecular gastronomy on the map, Elm’s Brian Lewis is a bit more traditional in his approach.

With a vast network of farmers and artisans, Brian has the freedom to compose seasonal daily menus, and his highly personal and creative American style shines through in every dish.

While we would opt for dining in the charming restaurant, Brian does offer customized tasting menus and cooking classes in the kitchen.

And for those of you who don’t live in the area, a visit to Elm’s website which includes sample menus and a gallery of pictures will have your mouth watering…  We’re off to reserve now before it’s too late!
