Nothing says “fine dining” like a stash of really fancy kitchenware. And the pros from our Best Restaurants 2015 issue know a thing or two about setting a table:
Linger in that post-prandial happy place over coffee: Metropole serves theirs in Acme & Co. black latte cups, and keeps warm-ups hot in a Frieling insulated French press.
Boca’s antique brass salt cellar, from Two’s Company, is tempting for those with sticky fingers. Resist the urge and purchase one at HighStreet instead.
Orchids gets the job done with this duo for fish: a Winco flexible fish spatula for flipping, and a Sant Andrea silver-plated fish knife (knife-cum-spatula) for filleting cooked fish tableside.
Go ahead, judge by appearances. The Turkish coffee Abigail Street brews in this hammered copper pot has all the flavor and character its delicious patina implies.
Local artist Stephanie Rose makes these one-of-a-kind ceramics for Salazar, while the wood boards are straight forest-to-table—cut on demand by the man behind Kentucky Gold Produce.
Bouquet is known for quality ingredients with a nod to tradition; the storied Laguiole steak knife fits both bills. From France’s Aubrac region, it’s either adorned with a Napoleonic bee or a regional fly— depending on whom you ask—at the junction of the handle and the blade.
