A few weeks ago I went out to eat with Blakely & friends to celebrate Blakely passing the LA Bar Exam! {CONGRATS AGAIN!}
We ended up going to a place I had never been {gasp!} called SALU.
Salú has a distinctly Latin flavored vibe. Salú’s primarily tapas menu offers thirty small plates showcasing such delicious dishes as coriander seared tuna; cumin spiked crawfish timbale with goat cheese; smoked salmon paté; a charcuterie and cheese plate; grilled lamb lollipops; BBQ pulled pork on corn fritter cakes; and duck and Manchego flautas with smashed avocado, salsa and cumin crème fraiche.
One word … foodgasim.
They start you off with some bread & olive oil mixture.
For our “main course” we split four tapas.
Wild Mushroom & Goat Cheese Empanadas
Lobster Mac And Cheese
Pretty sure these were called Oyster Nachos
Mushroom and Arugula Flatbread
The food was just as amazing as it looks. Honestly, I enjoyed every. single. bite.
So if you are ever in the New Orleans area, put SALU on your “to-try” list. Trust me.
Xoxo,

I absolutely love trying out new restaurants! And tapas style is always one of my favorites because you get to taste so many things! Those wild mushroom-goat cheese empanadas sound to-die for!!!!
