Anelya, the Ukrainian restaurant full of comfort foods in Avondale run by the husband-and-wife team of Johnny Clark and Beverly Kim has received Michelin recognition. This duo also previously ran the Michelin-starred Parachute, showcasing their culinary prowess in both Ukrainian and Korean traditions. Their zakusky cart—featuring delightful small plates like tart roe tarts—highlights their product-focused approach, particularly evident in dishes like green borsch enhanced with dill, nettles, and fresh, butter-glazed pampushky bread.
Bayan Ko, under the helm of Raquel Quadreny and chef Lawrence Letrero, has been deserved of Michelin recognition for quite some time. The couple recently transformed their offerings to more upscale four-course dining while maintaining a casual dining vibe with their new venue, Bayan Ko Diner. With plates like black rice and lobster in calamansi butter, they present a fusion of Cuban and Filipino cuisine that's both accessible and exciting, proving worthy of Michelin's attention.
