Summer brings a new batch of fresh ingredients from farms across the Queen City. Several restaurants are celebrating local farmers while offering diners a unique experience.

L’Ostrica, 4701 Park Rd., Ste. D, Charlotte
Each Sunday, L’Ostrica hosts “Supper Sunday,” a casual dinner built on themes. Each course features ingredients from local farms + the farmers will attend. Tickets are $85.

Restaurant Constance, 2200 Thrift Rd., Charlotte
Diners will share new dishes with the farmers behind the components of the dish.

Mark your calendars for:

  • Thursday, June 27
  • Thursday, July 25
  • Thursday, Aug. 22

“These farms are the heart of what we do, they are the whole reason we exist,” Chef Sam Diminich says. “The goal of this series is to showcase the local bounty we have and support our farmers.”

Tickets are $100 with communal seating.

Prefer a different night out? Stoke Charlotte and Haymaker also use locally sourced ingredients from Carolina farms. Pro tip: Reservations are recommended.
