A’Verde Restaurant • Triangle, N.C.

A’Verde Cocina and Tequila Library

Modern Mexican Cuisine 

A’Verde, LM Restaurants’ forthcoming cocina and tequila library, located in The Triangle/ Cary, (Raleigh-Durham area), N. Carolina is led by celebrated Chef Katsuji Tanabe. 

As a Bravo Top Chef, NBC Food Fighters, and PBS Cooking Under Fire alum, as well as Food Network Chopped champion (just to name a few), A’Verde is Chef Katsuji’s opportunity to showcase traditional and unique Mexican flavors while using the region’s best ingredients. It also will offer the largest tequila library in the region.

“Our conscious focus is on the flavors of Mexico and gracious hospitality, in a tranquil setting that is alive with vibrant neighbors and friends.”

A’Verde is Chef Katsuji’s opportunity to showcase traditional and unique Mexican flavors while using the region’s best ingredients.

Drawing inspiration from the melting pot that is Mexico City, his family table, and other regions of Mexico, Katsuji creates a menu that offers a variety of his favorite dishes.

Sample menu items: cornbread, refried beans, pork shanks, and octopus tacos, to vegetable-forward dishes with local, seasonal produce.

The restaurant’s interior is unique – it evokes a whimsical indoor garden, full of greenery, hanging flowers, and art by Mexican artists. A’Verde is set to open late 2021 and is the newest venture from LM Restaurants.
