Cabra

The Hoxton’s rooftop restaurant comes courtesy of Stephanie Izard, the Top Chef winner who also runs Girl & the Goat in the Arts District. In similar Chicago-to-L.A. fashion, Downtown’s Cabra is the second location of Izard’s Peruvian-inspired small plates concept, with her usual sharp, playful takes on dishes like striped bass ceviche and lomo saltado. From appetizers to dessert, there’s something memorable and delicious for everyone to love at Cabra, including a pair of vegetarian entrées, including grilled maitake mushrooms with chili crunch persimmon and sungold tomato salad. I particularly liked the quinoa and beet salad’s cornucopia of bright flavors and textures, while caramel-covered picarones—sweet potato doughnuts topped with puffed rice—stood out on the dessert front.
