Plant Based Plates and Cocktails With Seitan Piccata
Plant based dining pairs colorful presentation with cocktails and weekend brunch in a polished Manhattan room.
🍽️ Color on the Plate
Jorge Pineda and Angel Ramos, the chefs behind former NYC favorites Candle Cafe and Candle 79, steer this Manhattan room toward plant based dining with a polished, colorful finish. Plates arrive styled with bright sauces and careful detail, while the room keeps an upbeat edge that suits a slow meal.
The seitan piccata and saffron rice give the menu its clearest signature, with cocktails poured alongside. Weekend brunch runs Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and doors stay open until 10:00 PM Monday through Saturday and 9:00 PM on Sunday.
At 386 3rd Avenue, Candle holds a 4.7 rating from 188 reviews, with guests often describing the service as warm and professional. Order across the menu, leave room for the chocolate peanut dessert, and let the colors do some of the talking. The room has enough polish for a lingering dinner, with enough energy to keep the meal from feeling formal.
