Candle

9 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in New York City | Condé Nast Traveler

"I appreciate that the Candle concept — resurrected in 2023 after the long-loved Candle 79 and Candle Cafe closed — now stands in Kips Bay and serves a diverse, hearty, slightly indulgent menu drawing from Mexico to the Middle East. Standouts include one of the city’s best salads, a grilled kale tossed with string beans, lentils, kabocha squash, avocado, red onion, sunflower seeds, and spelt berries, plus a memorable za'atar roasted cauliflower; on weekends the brunch menu offers vegan french toast, huevos rancheros, and breakfast burritos." - Kyle Beechey
