One of the honorees is Jaguar Sun, an intimate restaurant and cocktail bar that offers a delicious blend of homemade pastas and balanced and creative drinks. The Guide highlights the freshly baked bread and Caesar salad, but also recommends the umami-packed mushroom tagliatelle and the spicy strozzapreti with stuffed mussels, 'nduja, and breadcrumbs.
The second recognized restaurant is Rosie's, a place that offers southern-inspired dishes. Its brunch is the house favorite, with chicharrones stuffed eggs, guanciale gravy biscuits, and fluffy banana pancakes with vanilla pastry cream. But also stand out the hot chicken and waffles, and the fried fish and grits with kale.
The Michelin Guide praised these two places for their accessible and welcoming atmosphere, as well as for their tasty dishes and quality ingredients. Critics and experts are excited about these additions, and the teams of these restaurants have much to celebrate.
