The Best Restaurants in Madison, Wisconsin | Eater Chicago
"Paul Schwoerer has been operating a one-item dumpling shop, with occasional interruptions, since 2003. There’s nothing else but dumplings at Paul’s Pel’meni — the Russian kind, filled simply, with either potato or beef. It’s the novel way they’re dressed that makes them essential Madison fare: cilantro, curry powder, butter, and a hot sauce-vinegar blend, with a side of sour cream. Sure, you can customize, but come on, live a little. Get the works. It’s supremely lo-fi but stunningly satisfying, and one of a handful of restaurants in post-pandemic Madison still open truly late. Online ordering is also available for takeout or head to Doordash for delivery." - Kyle Nabilcy
