Why it matters: opened in 2017 by chef Edoardo Todeschini after he saw Jamie Oliver’s ex-offender training kitchens in London, Rob de Matt trains people facing psychological difficulty, disability, incarceration or refugee status for restaurant work – over 100 people have gone through its program, some now on permanent staff. It’s also just a genuinely good neighborhood bistrot: a 600-square-meter garden with safari-style tents, Mediterranean plates of grilled meat and fish, and solid vegetarian options. Go for a long lunch or weekend dinner in the garden, and book ahead on Friday and Saturday nights.
