L'Accolade

16 NYC Restaurants Where You Can Get an Affordable, Fancy Meal | Eater

"For those looking to learn a bit more about natural wine, L’Accolade is a great place to test out some pours. Aside from the long and varied wine list, the food that’s made to pair with it is punching above its price point (and cooked by alums from the Modern and Aquavit). Think sustainably farmed ingredients in seasonally changing dishes like crisp lamb belly with pistachios, pomegranate chimichurri, and yogurt; scallops with corn, bacon, and chantarelles; and pickled mackerel with tomatoes. Best of all, you get two courses for $52 or three for $65, leaving you plenty of cash for that glass — or bottle — of natural wine to drink alongside." - devorahlevtov
