What To Eat For Lunch At North Pond

While North Pond is a beautiful, special restaurant all year round, we’re of the opinion that the best time to visit is June through September. For these four brief, glorious months, chef Bruce Sherman unlocks the doors to his restaurant for the lunch crowd — and today’s the first day of service.

From 11:30 to 1:30, Tuesday through Friday, plant yourself at an elegant table in the restaurant’s enclosed patio, order something local and seasonal, and feel oh-so refined. The menu, which changes with the market’s offerings, currently has highlights like green garlic-sweet onion soup served with crisp pancetta, pickled greens, and pumpernickel croutons; braised pork belly with artisanal farro salad, sheep’s milk feta, ramps, asparagus, and pecans; squid cooked a la plancha with fresh egg fettucine, snap peas, garlic chips, and pepper flakes; and a grilled asparagus sandwich served open-faced on toasted ciabatta with caramelized onions, watercress, and a poached egg. And, of course, there’s a cheeseburger.

Check out the full menu, after the jump.
