Foul Witch

AT A GLANCE

The property

Tucked away on Avenue A, Foul Witch is the East Village gem you’ll want to keep to yourself but won’t be able to stop talking about. Born from the same minds behind the acclaimed Roberta’s in Brooklyn, this intimate spot brings a sophisticated yet unpretentious twist to the neighborhood.

The magic happens in their open kitchen where the chefs work with a custom wood-fired hearth, giving everything from seasonal vegetables to perfectly cooked proteins that subtle kiss of smoke and char. Their pasta dishes are particularly memorable – handmade with precision and adorned with unexpected ingredient combinations that somehow make perfect sense once you taste them.

The wine program is a natural wine lover’s paradise, featuring small producers and unusual varietals that the knowledgeable staff is genuinely excited to introduce you to. The moody lighting and surprisingly comfortable seating invite you to linger over another glass.

What really makes Foul Witch special is how it balances being a serious culinary destination without any of the stuffiness. You’ll see everyone from tattooed industry folks to older couples celebrating anniversaries, all equally mesmerized by both the food and the vibrant energy. It’s one of those rare places that manages to feel both like a discovery and an instant classic at the same time.
