Let me point you in the right direction!

Featuring a vegetable-forward menu served in a stylish dining room that seems plopped down from the future, the Le Jardinier is, indeed, a vegan's haven!

Headed by Michelin-starred Chef Alain Verzeroli, Le Jardinier boasts local, seasonal produce, fresh herbs, and greens complemented by sustainable protein sources and cooked with a different spin and flavor.
