The 14 Best New Restaurants in Pittsburgh | Eater

"Chef Julio Peraza has landed in Downtown Pittsburgh, following stints in Florida and in Dallas at Madrina (now closed), which in 2015 was named best new restaurant by D Magazine. The publication called his opening menu “a revelation.” The restaurant is a revamp of what had been called Habitat, and the overhaul, engineered by a designer from Barcelona, is eclectic and cool. Pronounced “floor two,” it’s turning out bar food like a short-rib burger, addictive shoestring fries, and duck wings. But the large-format plates on the main menu are the gets, like kuri squash with ham, almonds, roasted chicken, or whole trout." - Melissa McCart
