FarmBar

1740 S Boston Ave

Recently reopened after a fire, FarmBar is the ultimate in local and sustainable cuisine in Tulsa, featuring an everchanging, multi-course tasting menu paired with premium wines. 

Seasonal ingredients come from nearby farms, including their own, and waste is recycled and composted. As Chef Lisa Buckland explains, “if we didn’t grow it, our neighbor did.”

The newest creation by Justin Thompson Restaurants, a group active in Tulsa’s nonprofit community, Freya: Nordic Kitchen delivers classic and reinvented Scandinavian cuisine to Brookside

Pictured is the Elk Chop, served with a demi-glace made from cloudberries, a raspberry-like fruit grown almost exclusively in Nordic countries. Chef de Cuisine Tiffany Taylor serves this with root vegetables, radish greens, and herbed goat cheese sauce.

Madre’s Mexican Kitchen

Locally-owned restaurant Madre’s Mexican Kitchen offers authentic, modern Mexican cuisine in a refined setting. Jenks alum Executive Chef Sergio Villar sources products like tortillas from local suppliers.
