Two restaurants. One family.

The Acorn and Nero Tondo are deeply connected. Having all come together through The Acorn, both restaurants carry the same care for ingredients, people, sense of place and community.

This year, we were incredibly proud to be the only two restaurants recognized by the MICHELIN Guide as Mindful Voices.

For us, sustainability is in how we source and cook, but also in how we build teams, create opportunities, share knowledge and allow new ideas to grow from the same roots.

Two restaurants, shaped by the same people and values, each with its own voice.

This is what sustainability looks like 🌱💫

14 years of The Acorn 🌱

This last year was a wild one. Full of great food, great people, big moments, late nights, field trips, parties, markets, collaborations, celebrations, chaos and a whole lot of vegetables.

Trying to fit it all into a single post is impossible, but here are 20 tiny pieces of it.

Happy birthday to us. 🥂

The ultimate springtime fruit (that’s actually a vegetable). We’re still dreaming about this one...

BC rhubarb, poached in lemongrass syrup and layered with delicate shards of candied rhubarb with an Acorn garden sweet woodruff custard.

Until next time, Spring. 🌱🖤

Football gives us heroes.

Karin Bubas reminds us they’re human.

Our latest billboard series captures players in moments of vulnerability, revealing the emotion behind the spectacle and the humanity behind the game.

To celebrate the series, The Acorn and Lila have each created a seasonal cocktail inspired by the artwork to keep you cool this summer.

Limited-edition postcards are available at both restaurants. Be sure to collect all four.
