Summer brings excitement to the chefs and restaurant owners to plan and create their fall menus to entice and add happiness to their customers. Fall is the best harvest time which brings with it an abundance of hearty vegetables, such as squashes and gourds, potatoes, and parsnips along with the amazing and sweet fruits like apples, pomegranates, and pears.

Also, it’s the time for the chef to put some fun and twist to the food. Based on restaurant trends, below are some of the ideas and inspiration for planning your fall menu this year:

• Locally sourced vegetables remain supreme.

• Culinary cocktails
• Fruit desserts celebrating fall
• A healthier spin on classic comfort foods

Let us talk about the points in detail:

Locally sourced vegetables remain supreme: Go for some local vegetable movement and embed the plate with the power of locally sourced autumn produce, such as root vegetables and gourds.

Next up, locally sourced meat and seafood: According to annual “What’s Hot” Survey of National Restaurant Association’s (NRA), locally sourced meat and seafood are among the top three restaurant menu trends.

Culinary cocktails: To add flair to their fall drink menu, this year most of the Wine bars NYC are providing culinary cocktails all the rage. Most of the NYC wine bars are even adding fall vegetables, such as radishes, beets, artichokes, and fresh herbs to their drinks to add a spice and interest in the taste. They are adding it whether as a garnish, fresh juice or liquor-infusion.

Fruit desserts celebrating fall: take into the use of all exotic fall fruits to make exciting deserts for all the sweet tooth lovers. You can take into the use of Apples, pomegranates, pears, and figs to provide the staple for popular fall desserts, such as pies, cobblers, and bread pudding. 

A healthier spin on classic comfort foods: Healthier menu choices and comfort foods that are something customer doesn’t compromise at all and this is the reason why it is always on the top of the list of restaurant trends.
