Farm-to-fork restaurant Flora & Fauna plans to open by fall in Downtown’s Park Tower

A recent participant in the Calling All Dreamers program is planning to open a restaurant in one of Sacramento’s signature skyscrapers.

Flora & Fauna, a farm-to-fork restaurant emphasizing California-style cuisine, is aiming for a September opening in Park Tower at 980 Ninth St.

The restaurant, which will occupy a space of about 2,200 square feet, will source ingredients from 50 miles away or less as much as possible, and no more than 150 miles away in other cases, Feldman said. She said that will also mean making many meals from scratch or sometimes buying items from other local small businesses. Breakfast and lunch items will go alongside the restaurant’s coffee menu, Feldman said. In addition to serving meals, the restaurant will host farmers and other artisans for special evening events, she said.

Tom Conwell of Newmark represented the landlord in Flora & Fauna’s Downtown lease. Aaron Marchand of Turton Commercial Real Estate worked on behalf of the tenant.
