The Beach Plum Restaurant

Helmed by chef Chris Fischer, whose prodigious resume includes gigs at New York’s Babbo and London’s St. John Bread & Wine, the Beach Plum Inn is one of Martha’s Vineyard’s premiere dining destinations, serving up haute cuisine on an otherwise casual dining island. The delicate dishes are far from stuffy, however; incorporating fresh produce from his grandfather’s farm, Fischer sources each ingredient from within a five-mile radius of his kitchen. For further endorsement, know that it’s the Obama’s favorite restaurant on the island.
