For our upcoming dinner on November 2, we’re creating a special ofrenda to honor the pets we’ve loved and lost.

If you’re joining us, we’d love to include your beloved companion. Send us a photo of your pet, and our team will print it and place it on the ofrenda, ready for you to see when you arrive.

We’d be honored to remember them with you. 💚

Día de los Mu***os at Avant Garden 🌼

On Monday, November 2, join us in the East Village for a special dinner celebrating Mexico’s flavors, memories, and traditions.

Chef Juan Pajarito has created a five-course menu inspired by his heritage and the regional cooking traditions he grew up with. From picaditas and pozole rojo to enchiladas, mole encacahuatado, and churros, each course brings a little of Juan’s Mexico to Avant Garden. The menu will be served family-style, with tequila and mezcal pairings available for the occasion.

Swipe to see the full menu. We’d love to have you join us!

We’ve added six new dishes to the menu, bringing together sweet and savory flavors, a little heat, and some unexpected combinations. Think grilled peaches with almond ricotta, jackfruit with guajillo and chimichurri, kale and pear with black lime, and a blueberry tart worth saving room for.

All from Chef Juan Pajarito’s kitchen, and all ready for you to try.

Come see what’s new and find a new favorite.
