A FAMILAR FACE , IN A NEW SPACE
Chef Emily Butcher brings signature style to Bar Accanto
Bar Accanto , the sophisticated and cozy companion to Nola , has quickly become a favorite destination for those seeking a vibrant dining experience since its opening in April 2023 . Now , it ’ s poised to turn a new page with the arrival of a familiar face at its helm : Chef Emily Butcher .
Chef Butcher is stepping into her new role as Executive Chef at Bar Accanto and Burnley Place Hospitality . Her culinary approach , which draws deeply from her Canadian-Chinese upbringing , has already made waves . With this new adventure , she ’ s adding European and Mediterranean techniques to her repertoire , creating a menu that is both an evolution and a departure from the lively creations she ’ s known for at Nola .
One of her standout new dishes - house-made gnocchi with a sundried tomato XO sauce and kombu furikake - perfectly illustrates this blending of styles . It ’ s a dish that feels at once comforting and innovative — a hallmark of her approach to share-plate dining . This is not just a culinary transition for Chef and The Burnley Place Hospitality Group - it ’ s a continuation of a story where Chef Butcher can bring her signature flair to an exciting new stage .
