⭐ This Week’s FEATURED SPOT
North Central: ANHELO BISTRO
The Vibe
Think cozy neighborhood bistro meets date-night hidden gem.
Anhelo feels polished enough for an anniversary or celebration without becoming overly formal. The smaller, intimate setting, thoughtful presentation and international menu make this the kind of place where dinner feels like an occasion—even if the occasion is simply that you found somewhere new.
Must-Order Items
Anhelo Ceviche — White fish with leche de tigre, pickled carrots, crispy corn, cilantro and sesame oil, served with plantain chips.
Eggplant & Goat Cheese Ravioli — Truffle butter, cherry tomatoes, fresh basil and shaved Parmesan. Rich and comforting.
Caribbean Chicken & Shrimp — Coconut milk and red curry sauce with green beans and broccolini, served with jasmine rice.
Your Anhelo Ribs — Pork ribs slow-cooked for 36 hours and served with your choice of jasmine rice, roasted potatoes or house salad.
And save room for the Basque Cheesecake.
And What To Sip?
Cocktail people shouldn't skip straight to the wine list. Anhelo has a surprisingly fun lineup, including a Pisco Sour, Smoked Old Fashioned, Carajillo and several house margaritas.
Pro Tip
Go hungry and share.
And don't overlook the ceviche. With one chef bringing years of experience from Peru and Ecuador and another bringing European technique from Spain, the contrast between the Latin American and European dishes is really what makes Anhelo interesting.
