Elm - Review - New Canaan - Fairfield County - The Infatuation

"Downtown New Canaan, with its walkable tree-lined streets, has that quintessential small-town Connecticut feel, and sitting right in the middle of it is Elm. This American restaurant is how Fairfield County does a neighborhood spot—families with small children sit alongside couples on date night, in a perpetually packed, low-lit, minimalist dining room. They have a big menu of small plates, salads, pasta, and seafood, but you’re here for their massive burger—it’s got two thick patties, half sour pickles, a sesame and poppyseed bun, and melty cheese. It can get messy, and you might need to unhinge your jaw to eat it, but once you pick it up, you’ll neglect everyone else at your table until you’ve finished every last bit. photo credit: Sam Schwab photo credit: Sam Schwab photo credit: Sam Schwab Pause Unmute" - Ciera Velarde
