The 7 Best New Restaurants to Try This Winter | Bon Appétit

"Nikko Cagalanan and his team behind the Filipino showstopper Kultura, which just moved into a larger space in Charleston, are gearing up to open their second restaurant Bareo. With Bareo, which will open in the original Kultura Spring Street space, Cagalanan aims to capture the same familial spirit; he named the restaurant after the Tagalog word “baryo” for neighborhood. While Kultura focuses solely on Filipino cooking, Bareo’s menu centers around street food like dumplings stuffed with pork and shrimp, wagyu onigiri, noodle soup, and kakigori (Japanese-style shaved ice)—with flavors like buko pandan, a play on the chilled Filipino dessert salad with coconut, and brown butter bibingka. To drink, expect tea-forward signature cocktails like iced puerh highballs, plus a curated selection of sakes and NA options." - ByKate Kassin
