Fodor's Expert Review Snail Bar
The Temescal neighborhood's dining anchor is a quirky wine bar with a powerful food program. At least half of the seating is outside, lending a Parisian indoor-outdoor café vibe to the air of this appropriately named spot with a signature escargots and cashew miso dish. The small chalkboard menu always has tempting, deeply flavored offerings that don't really adhere to particular cuisines but are always riveting. The rustic interior has a striking chess board–evoking floor and has a welcoming, slightly worn feel like a bistro that has been around for decades (except it only opened in 2021).
