The Best Restaurants In New Haven

2 months ago | theinfatuation.com | Ciera Velarde

Olea is one of those restaurants where you’ll say “That was the best part of my meal” five different times.

All of the ramen bowls are comforting and jammed with noodles longer than your arm. But our favorite is the vegan tomato yasai bowl, which has a surprisingly savory punch thanks to the dashi-pickled tomato and shiitake mushrooms.

2 months ago | theinfatuation.com | Ciera Velarde

The menu changes almost daily at Tavern on State, an American restaurant serving the most inventive dishes in New Haven. In fact, they don’t even print menus—most nights, the chef will add something to the lineup right before opening. What is consistent here though is a commitment to seasonal ingredients.
