Vigneron

"It's just a sliver of a space in Roma Norte, but Vigneron makes a big impression. It's dark and moody with just a sprinkling of tables (plus a communal table). Chef Aram Abisahi's dishes are best shared for a deeper exploration of his contemporary, French-punctuated cuisine. Roasted matchstick carrots plated with creamy stracciatella may seem simple at first glance but showcase a clever use of flavor and texture. Crispy polenta topped with stone crab salad made with miso mayo is another winning dish before tucking in to a pasta course or hearty roasted chicken. To finish, the walnut cake layered with semi-dark chocolate ganache is the perfect choice. While the menu is concise, the mostly European wine list is surprisingly extensive." - Michelin Inspector

"After a short closure to revamp the space and menu, wine bar Vigneron made a comeback this summer under chef Aram Abisahi, who stewards the kitchen, and sommelier Mario Luna, who showcases small wine producers from the Old World. For wine lovers looking to explore hidden gems from Burgundy, Catalonia, and Champagne, Vigneron delivers great value by the glass; for everyone else, the beverages pair well with a food menu heavy on French technique and seasonal ingredients. Abisahi highlights his northerner culture in dishes like wagyu brisket with flour tortillas and pico de gallo, but he also shows range with items like fish rillette with pickled vegetables, or the catch of the day with beurre blanc, chicatana (ants), and beets. Know before you go: Vigneron offers a seven-course tasting menu with optional pairings for indoor seating. Sit outside to order the regular a la carte menu." - Natalia de la Rosa
