Vietnamese-Peruvian fusion fare with creative dishes and cocktails
"Now open in Montrose, Alora combines Vietnamese and Peruvian food. The fusion appears across the menu, like in the “pho-quila” cocktail with spice-infused tequila or ceviches with leche de tigre and nuoc cham." - brooke viggiano, gianni greene, chelsea thomas
"This new neighborhood spot opened in early January, replacing the Viet-Cajun restaurant Kau Bau and introducing a new fusion to the Montrose neighborhood. Chefs Diego and Makayla Ponce have dreamt up a menu of Peruvian-Vietnamese dishes, including a combination of Vietnamese shaking beef and Peruvian lomo saltado that results in delicious stir fry plated with rice and fried potatoes coated in salt-and sugar, plus al pastor pork chops and comforting Aji de gallina crispy spring rolls served with a side of tangy olive mousseline for dipping. For a treat, try the Pho-quila cocktail. The Kem Xoi, made with warm pandan sticky rice and toasted coconut ice cream, and the Cinco Leches cake with lucuma, a fruit native to Peru, also make for a perfect ending." - Brittany Britto Garley
"For an innovative fusion of Vietnamese and Peruvian cuisines, look no further than Alora. This trendy new restaurant serves creative dishes like the PeruViet ceviche and the Shaking Lomo saltado with beef tenderloin, huayro potatoes, and garlic rice. Unique offerings like the Aji de Gallina spring rolls and tender al pastor pork chop showcase the restaurant’s flair for combining bold, global flavors. Round out your meal with the Ponce, a passion fruit pisco sour, or the Pho-Quila with pho aroma-infused tequila, lime juice, and ginger syrup." - Brianna Griff
