Chef Josh Thomsen
Agricola, a vibrant new community eatery from restaurateur Jim Nawn, made its debut on Sunday, March 10th, at 11 Witherspoon Street, formerly home to Lahiere’s, in Princeton, New Jersey.
Agricola has been a passion project for Mr. Nawn ever since the opening of his own Great Road Farm, which, in collaboration with other local sources, will provide the restaurant with a steady supply of seasonal ingredients. In Mr. Nawn’s own words: “Agricola is the culmination of my journey to create a warm and welcoming gathering place that celebrates fresh, seasonal foods and the kind of extraordinary service that can accommodate the needs of the Princeton community.”
With 160 seats, the renovated space at 11 Witherspoon Street will provide daily open dining, private events for up to sixty people, and a lively bar capable of entertaining guests from morning brunch through last call.
Josh Thomsen, a New Jersey native, has been named as Agricola’s executive chef. Chef Thomsen has honed his skills at some of America’s most prominent culinary destinations, such as the French Laundry in Napa Valley, where he had the privilege of working with Thomas Keller, and Michael Mina’s NobHill at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas.
The restaurant is currently open seven days a week, 5:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m. In April, the restaurant will add lunch to the menu, served on weekdays, as well as brunch on Saturdays and Sundays.
For more information, or to make a reservation, please call (609) 921-2798 or visit the restaurant’s website.
Bon Appétit!
