Haven Farm + Table
1200 Fox Point Farms Lane, Encinitas, CA 92024
Why Go
Opened last year at Fox Point Farms in Encinitas, Haven Farm + Table is the centerpiece of a 21-acre regenerative organic farm that blends hospitality with agriculture. The restaurant was created as a collaboration between farmers and chefs, with the goal of showcasing nutritious, seasonal produce grown just steps from the kitchen. The setting — complete with orchards, vegetable beds and a farmstand — makes it one of the most authentic farm-to-table experiences in North County.
What to Order
The menu changes frequently to reflect what’s in season. Highlights include wood-fired flatbreads topped with just-harvested greens, pasture-raised chicken with roasted root vegetables and inventive vegetarian dishes. Brunch is especially popular, with options like farm-fresh frittatas, heirloom tomato salads and sourdough bread baked on site. Local craft beers and natural wines round out the experience.
Details
Haven sources directly from Fox Point Farms’ regenerative fields and orchard, as well as neighboring small farms and producers. Nearly everything is made in-house, from sauces to breads, with an emphasis on sustainability and zero-waste cooking. The airy dining room overlooks the farm, and there’s a patio for al fresco meals. A market and café on the property sell produce, eggs and pantry staples, so visitors can take a piece of the farm home.

Wildcraft Kitchen
345 Jordan Road, Sedona, AZ 86336
Why Go
Former raw food chef and health coach Summer Rose opened the grab-and-go Local Juicery (featured in our Local Picks: Sedona video) with her business partner Mike Sanders in 2014. Rose trained under plant-based expert Matthew Kenney and, nine years later, Wildcraft Kitchen followed. It has the same organic principles and wellness focus while combining the sit-down dining experience with a made-to-order juice bar.
What to Order
The menu has a wide variety of breakfast and lunch options from pancakes and frittatas to veggie-packed salads. Bestsellers include the breakfast sandwich filled with melted raw cheddar, tomato, poached egg, lemon caper aioli and arugula on sprouted sourdough. Another top pick is the honest bowl made with quinoa, cucumber, kalamata olives, house-made hummus, roasted sweet potatoes, pickled onions and a vegan caper aioli.
Details
Wildcraft Kitchen’s smoothies and shakes have uplifting names like “utopia” and “fountain of youth.” The coffee menu features different milk options, including easier-to-digest A2 whole milk, as well as oat and almond milk. Owner Summer has a passion for supporting organic and local farms, inspired by her father’s work as a farmer, and she picks up compost daily from Local Juicery for his land.
Where to Stay
In the upper Sedona Plateau with epic desert views, Sedona Summit, a Hilton Vacation Club is perfectly positioned for backcountry adventures. The resort has an outdoor pool and several hot tubs, as well as a bocce court and hammock area.

Bloom Plant Based Kitchen
1559 North Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago, IL 60622
Why Go
When James Beard Award-nominated chef Rodolfo Cuadros’ Latin American restaurant Amaru temporarily closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, he adapted by adding Bloom Plant Based Kitchen as a ghost kitchen. It was such a success that a brick-and-mortar space opened in Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood in 2021.
What to Order
Serving only dinner during the week, the modern plant-based cuisine focuses on vegetables rather than meat substitutes. Try their inventive quick bites such as turnip causa served with potato croquette, nori and soy caviar; besitos de yuca bread balls with parmesan rosemary foam and spring tart with almond pesto cheese and beetroot. The ube cheesecake with Oreo crust and caramel popcorn topping is a dessert favorite.
Details
Other menus include the “2’s Tuesday” — a three-course dinner for two on Tuesdays. Visit on the weekends for brunch or stop by for happy hour from 5–6 p.m., Sunday to Thursday.
Where to Stay
Inventive dishes like turnip causa have made Bloom Plant Based Kitchen a Chicago must-go
Within walking distance of many of Chicago’s blockbuster attractions, Hotel Blake is in the historic yet hip downtown district, Printer’s Row. Suites feature soaring ceilings, modern bathrooms and city views.
