James Beard Restaurants in Providence

Gift Horse and LOMA are the current class, back-to-back Beard winners in 2025 and 2026. Al Forno and Olneyville New York System won decades ago and are still on our board. In between, finalists like nicks on broadway and Oberlin, plus a run of semifinalists from Foglia to Yagi Noodles. Recognition isn't our rating — most of this list lands at Worth Trying on our scale, medal or not.
