Top Chef alum and 2024 James Beard Outstanding Restaurateur Award nominee chef Chris Viaud is known in New England for his colorful, farm-to-fork cuisine. Local and seasonal ingredients take the stage at his two restaurants (Greenleaf and Pavilion), but at Ansanm, his Haitian restaurant, he cooks recipes closer to his heart.
For this multi-course menu chef Viaud honors his heritage and classic recipes inspired by Haitian cuisine that feature ingredients commonly grown on the island. Each dish will highlight the bold flavors that are reminiscent of Haiti—spun with chef Viaud’s modern interpretation and unique and artistic presentation. Join chef Viaud for this singular dinner that channels his culinary voice which marries seasonal ingredients and his beloved Haitian roots.
