The Best Restaurant Meals of 2022, According to BA Staff | Bon Appétit
"There’s a reason Canje has topped many best new restaurant lists, including our own. My partner and I celebrated our five-year anniversary there this year, and, reader, it did not disappoint. The food was amazing, the vibes were more party than restaurant, and it was clear that every staff member we talked to was passionate about the menu. We started our meal with the smoked avocado escabeche and a dish of pink pineapple mixed with guava, passion fruit, and basil, both of which had a balance of creamy, fruity, and savory. They were so surprising, I felt like Remy trying strawberry and cheese together for the first time. It was no surprise that the mains were all excellent as well, but the wild boar pepper pot and striped bass with rum butter sauce were true standouts. The coconut tres leches and plantain cake were a great way to top off the meal. I also have to give a shoutout to the Love Drug, a smoky mezcal-based take on an old-fashioned, which I couldn’t help but reorder a few times through the night." - ByElazar Sontag
