MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking

Next-door sibling Winner may earn the trophy for its bread and desserts (also served here) but Runner Up is likely number one in many hearts given its serious focus on fresh, seasonal produce anchored by savory heavy hitters. Blink and you'll miss this diminutive place drenched in natural light. The good vibes extend to the food, where you may tuck into a sweet-tart citrus salad with aged gouda and cool-crisp fennel. Then, toasted sourdough is served alongside creamy trout rillette for a smoky-savory bite. A play on tortellini en brodo uses paper-thin daikon radish as the "pasta" with crumbles of chicharrón, while chaquicán mille-feuille plates three layers of crisp crackers with Chilean chopped beef stew, Kabocha squash, and salsa verde for a delicious dish.
