Black Trumpet Bistro

Popular local Chef Evan Mallett is known for his house-made charcuterie (he’s a great believer in using nose-to-tail meats). He’s also an expert mycologist, which accounts for the restaurant’s name and the abundance of foraged mushrooms on the menu. His exotically spiced comfort food is served as small plates, medium plates, or full entrees, and is influenced by cuisines of southern France, Spain, Africa, and Latin America. The intimate two-story restaurant has been nominated for a number of James Beard awards over the years, and is set in a former warehouse at the harbor.
