Con Alma

The 38 Best Pittsburgh Restaurants - Eater

"Follow the sounds of music to Con Alma (translation: with soul), the restaurant and bar bringing jazz back to Pittsburgh’s historic Cultural District. There you’ll find co-owner and executive chef Josh Ross serving up Latin-inspired dishes like albacore xnipec with tortilla chips, bacalaitos, and lechon asado (as well as global dishes like dan dan mian and Korean fried chicken). Recently named one of the best bars in America by Esquire, the cocktail program, led by bar manager Hannah McKee, isn’t too shabby either. Meanwhile, the live jazz program curated by co-owner John Shannon has featured Pittsburgh legends like Roger Humphries and the RH Factor. All these elements make Con Alma a must-visit." - Briana L White
