Día de los Mu***os at Avant Garden 🌼

On Monday, November 2, join us in the East Village for a special dinner celebrating Mexico’s flavors, memories, and traditions.

Chef Juan Pajarito has created a five-course menu inspired by his heritage and the regional cooking traditions he grew up with. From picaditas and pozole rojo to enchiladas, mole encacahuatado, and churros, each course brings a little of Juan’s Mexico to Avant Garden. The menu will be served family-style, with tequila and mezcal pairings available for the occasion.

Swipe to see the full menu. We’d love to have you join us!

We’ve added six new dishes to the menu, bringing together sweet and savory flavors, a little heat, and some unexpected combinations. Think grilled peaches with almond ricotta, jackfruit with guajillo and chimichurri, kale and pear with black lime, and a blueberry tart worth saving room for.

All from Chef Juan Pajarito’s kitchen, and all ready for you to try.

Come see what’s new and find a new favorite.

The perfect Avant Garden dinner starts here: the Baby Gem.

Charred gem lettuce, Caesar, roast tomato, avocado, garlic & nori crouton. Possibly one of the best salads in the city.

Next, you’re getting the Avocado. Trust us.

Crispy rice, carrot ginger dressing, miso glaze & blistered shish*tos. One of our most-loved dishes for a reason.

Obviously, there needs to be a toast.

The Artichoke Toast is a house favorite, with spinach artichoke purée, black truffle vinaigrette, jicama & cashew.

Then, something a little more serious.

Scorched cauliflower with toasted garlic, fried capers & cauliflower puree.

And you always save room for this.

Almond cake with pastry cream & apple butter.

Always save room for our almond cake. Especially when there's a Queen of Hearts waiting next to it.
