Queer Eye’s food guy Antoni Porowski is opening a restaurant in the West Village.

The Netflix star has taken over what was once the Village Den, and with his partners, restaurateurs Lisle Richards and Eric Marx (Gilded Lily), he has turned it diner into a fast-casual, all-day cafe with “healthy offerings”.  

The menu is vegetable-forward and free of gluten, soy and red meat. Dishes include almond and walnut pancakes, grilled chicken salad with spinach, egg and green goddess dressing, bowls like honey-roasted turkey meatballs over cauliflower rice and – of course – avocado toast. They’re also serving what they call TV Dinners, a meat-and-two featuring stuffed cabbage with pine nuts and macadamia-crusted fish sticks, among other proteins, with a choice of a dozen sides. And there’s a long list of smoothies.

The restaurant has been decorated in white, with light wood scaffolding and greenery.
