Nopa
I just love the vibe of this place. Located about a 10 minute drive from most of the downtown hotels, this cozy restaurant, located in the North of the Panhandle (get it?), reminds me a lot of avec in Chicago. Brunch is a highlight, with local purveyors the true stars on the menu (as well as the wood-burning oven).
