Jack Whitten’s octopus, celery, red onion, oregano, olive oil
Inspired by Jack Whitten’s Octopus Salad for a Party, and added to our menu in celebration of the release of ‘A Cookbook for Iwan,’ which is now available to purchase in the restaurant and at the link in our bio!
Originally created by Manuela Wirth as a gift for her husband Iwan, the book reflects the appreciation of good, honest food that the Artfarm co-founders and owners share.
With over 200 recipes gathered from the personal culinary repertoires of contemporary artists, curators, chefs, and collectors, ‘A Cookbook for Iwan’ is an opportunity to discover and recreate the breakfasts, lunches, dinners, drinks, and desserts the fuel the art world as a global community.

Ten years of Manuela!
And what a decade it has been. We are so grateful to everyone who has been with us through the years — our guests, our partners and vendors, and especially our staff, so many of whom have been with us the whole ten years.
To continue celebrating our decade downtown, we’re offering our Florida Man cocktail complimentary to all our guests tonight — a favorite from our original bar menu.
Here’s to another 10 years!
