About

In pursuit of taste, Alice and the cooks of Chez Panisse ended up at the doorsteps of the small organic farmers who were growing flavorful heirloom varieties of fruits and vegetables or raising heritage breeds of animals. Over time, the restaurant has built up a diverse network of these ethical local suppliers—ranchers, fishers, orchardists, foragers, farmers, and backyard gardeners—who practice regenerative agriculture and take care of the land.

In March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, Chez Panisse temporarily closed all dining at the restaurant. In its place we have created an open-air marketplace, offering weekly farm boxes and prepared food items to nourish our Bay Area community and support our staff and network of producers through the crisis. Chez Panisse now offers prepared meals, sides, pantry supplies, desserts, wine, and beer to pick up from our outdoor front patio Wednesday through Saturday. Our Sunday marketplace, which also includes weekly seasonal organic produce boxes curated by the Chez Panisse chefs, operates in the outdoor space adjacent to the restaurant.
