West Village cafe & wine bar serving seasonal vegetable dishes
"I go to St. Jardim for a mellow, wine-forward all-day experience — it transitions from café to bar-restaurant around 5 p.m., and its small plates (notably the carpaccio with smoked oyster emulsion) are fantastic." - Matt Ortile
"A natural wine bar run by owners who have been active in the neighborhood’s restaurant scene and who recently expanded their footprint by reviving a historic subterranean space into a French-leaning bistro." - David Farley
"St. Jardim is the living room you don’t currently have, complete with a magazine rack, a record player, and entire walls stocked with low-intervention wines. There are only around six tables, in addition to about 10 bar seats, so this isn’t the best place to bring a group, but if you want to read a book or chat with a friend, it’s perfect. Eat some cavatelli, drink a sazerac, and enjoy the mellow atmosphere. You can also grab a sidewalk table when it’s warm out." - bryan kim, neha talreja, carina finn koeppicus
"When you’ve lost faith that you’ll find a West Village bar that isn’t overcapacity, turn to St. Jardim. The place only has seven-ish tables and a small bar—behind which you’ll see a record player and a collection of obscure spirits—but it’s usually easy to find a few seats. Get pasta or tuna crudo, or stick to their straightforward, perfectly executed cocktails like the classic sidecar." - will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja
"Starting at 7:30am most days, the dollhouse-sized St. Jardim functions as a cafe, serving lattes, toast, and breakfast sandwiches to a West Village crowd that seems to have few daytime obligations. At 5pm, it transitions to a restaurant and bar, although the mood stays mellow, with pairs catching up over cheese and skin contact wine. You can get a full dinner here, with options that range from cavatelli to wagyu hanger steak, but you can also just drink for an hour or two. The place is as casual as a living room, with magazines to browse and a library of low-intervention wines on the walls, and, though it does get crowded, there are usually a few open seats. If it's warm out, grab a sidewalk table, and enjoy some of the best people-watching in NYC." - Bryan Kim
