"Run by Peruvian expat and executive chef Margot Blondet, Salar is one of the swankier spots in the Oregon District, showcasing a fusion of Peruvian, French, and Mediterranean influences. Enjoy a drink at the secluded pisco bar while you wait for a table, and then order the Northern Peruvian-style braised lamb shank: a bone-in New Zealand lamb shank simmered in chicha de jora (fermented corn drink); the meat practically melts off the bone." - David Nilsen
