It’s no surprise how much we love visiting New York City, so we had to put together a list of the best organic restaurants NYC style!
Food is not scarce in the world of the city that never sleeps. If you are looking for organic food, there are a lot of options, too, but you have to know where to look.
Let’s cut down your research and take you straight to the top 5 best organic restaurants in NYC.
Top 5 Best Organic Restaurants NYC
Healthy and delicious food is abundant in The Big Apple. New York has multiple restaurants offering fresh, organic dining experiences. It’s all about finding the right place.
Atera
You can find this one in Tribeca. Atera is a Michelin-starred restaurant that showcases the finest seasonal produce on its menu. Every dish is a testament to quality, with each ingredient sourced from organic farms, including herbs from their hidden cellar garden.
To reserve a table in this popular restaurant’s dining room, you must do so at least six weeks in advance.
Burger Village
There is no better way to enjoy a break on a busy day than to delve into a delicious, organic meal at Burger Village. Whether you’re craving something meaty, prefer gluten-free, or are vegan… everyone can find a tasty bite here.
And, not to forget, the menu is loaded with versatility—think grass-fed beef hot dogs, gluten-free chocolate cake, super yummy veggie burgers, you name it.
Seasoned Vegan
It’s a major favorite, mainly because it’s located in Harlem, where you can’t find many organic options. This spot is committed to sustainability and is a go-to spot for anyone seeking a wholesome dining experience (including vegetarians and vegans).
Their menu takes comfort food to a whole new level; each dish is prepared with 100% organic ingredients. Our personal favorite? Harlem Chopped “Cheese” Burger. It’s one of the best vegan dishes in the Big Apple.
Trattoria Trecolori
We love Italian fare, so we had to add Trattoria Trecolori to this list. Located in Restaurant Row, NYC, their kitchen serves only the best organic food in the Theater District.
If you are vegan or vegetarian like us, you’re winning at this place. It is a bustling restaurant, so be sure to make a reservation so you can get a spot while visiting NYC!
Eataly NYC Downtown
We will die on this sword and don’t care what anyone says. Eataly is a very near and dear place in our hearts. It is the perfect place to grab organic food to go, and the Eataly Italian Restaurant also has organic fare on the spot.
The great thing about Eataly is that it is always fresh, from the greens to the organic free-range eggs used in its tagliatelle, fettuccine, and other pasta. It never, ever disappoints.
While we love Eataly in lower Manhattan, we must tell you that you have to, at some point, dine at the Eataly Flatiron rooftop restaurant SERRA by Birreria. Serra means “greenhouse” in Italian, and it truly is a seasonal rooftop experience where you dine amongst flowers. The menu and experience change with each season.
