Chasing Sage

A lot of spots talk about being farm-to-table, but Chasing Sage takes that label very seriously. The Cannonborough-Elliotborough restaurant uses a lot of ingredients from the owner’s very own family farm, which dates back to the year Beethoven was born (that’s 1770 if you're not an expert on the German Romantics). All the dishes on the menu are small plates, but you can also choose the “Let Us Pick For You” option for a five-course meal curated by the chefs, along with optional beverage pairings. Start with the excellent sourdough that comes with cultured butter because you are, indeed, also cultured, and never skip the spring onion dumplings.
