If you’re searching for restaurants in the City of Oaks that incorporate farm-to-table practices or source ingredients locally, look no further. We’ve gathered a few Raleigh restaurants to get your taste exploration started.

Crawford & Son | 618 N. Person St. | This eatery sources its ingredients almost daily from the farmers market, and the menu changes seasonally. Heads up, the next menu change will occur in September.

Irregardless | 901 W. Morgan St. | Irregardless of if you’re searching for dishes featuring fresh chicken, catfish, or seasonal produce, this place has it. Pro tip: try the Chicken Normandy paired with cipollini onion, sour apples, and a vadouvan sauce.

Mandolin | 2519 Fairview Rd. | Bask in local tastes for brunch, lunch, or dinner. When you go, check out the catch of the day paired with locally sourced heirloom tomatoes.

Poole’s Diner | 426 S. McDowell St. | Catch the freshness while you can — the menu changes daily and weekly depending on what the farmers market can provide. City Editor Danyale here — I’m rushing to try the cornmeal-fried NC flounder.

    Rosewater | 110 Park At North Hills St. | From the housemade bread made daily to the farmer’s Greek salad, get a taste of freshness with every bite.
