Seasonal, Local & Artisanal Since 2001. That pretty much says it.
Co-founder and chef Jason Weiner creates seasonally focused ever-changing menus that are guided by a market driven ethos. We highlight our personal relationships with growers, fishermen, artisans and winemakers. Our menus are artisanal and market driven featuring some updated takes on classic french/mediterannean cuisine, ethnic street food and lots of stuff in between. We are obsessive about the handmade…We hang our own charcuterie, grind our own sausage, ferment our own kimchi, brew our own miso, spin our own ricotta, dry age our own steaks, and smoke our own fish & bacon.
In 2001 Jason Weiner and Eric Lemonides opened the doors. Almond became the “un-Hamptons” restaurant the Hamptons desperately needed. Jason’s commitment to straight forward, locally sourced cuisine and Eric’s commitment to being nice to people soon garnered a fiercely loyal following for the restaurant.
Right out of the gate, Almond became a go-to spot on the East End for farmers, local odd balls, celebrities, tourists, and fellow restaurateurs. The critics caught on as well. Almond garnered accolades from such esteemed publications as Wine Spectator and the New York Times.
And now 25 years later, we’re still here! Folks seem to still like us… mainly because Jason continues to cook good food and Eric is still nice to people.
