The Publican in Fulton Market has stripped away the unnecessary ornamental aspects of pretentious food and presents only the freshest, simplest ingredients that Executive Chef Paul Kahan has refined into spectacular compositions of flavor. The pub-style restaurant's straightforward menu is divided into three main sections of meat and vegetables-which are sourced from local ranches and farms- and fish, which is hand-selected to ensure freshness and quality. The décor is reminiscent of the 16th century European Renaissance. The restaurant's earthy colors, banquette-sized wooden tables and dimly-lit hanging light fixtures all make for a unique dining atmosphere in which you feel transported to simpler times. The Publican prides itself on its beer selection, which is extensive and eclectic.
