Best Diners in Madison

"After 15 years as a trial lawyer, Syovata Edari packed up her bags to pursue her passion for the chocolate arts. That interest evolved into CocoVaa, a microbatch chocolate company on Madison’s East Side that prides itself on using whole, local, and ethically sourced ingredients for a collection of artisanal bonbons and caramels. Edari calls upon her cultural ties to Kenya, Russia, India, and Ireland to inform the truffle flavors like Persian Saffron, Sayari Cocoa, Chai Tea, and Moroccan Mint -- just a taste of the kinds of combinations that have earned her 29 Academy of Chocolate Awards in the three years she’s been open."

"Asian House is a great place to get your favorite comfort food. The friendliness and fast service of the staff are enough to brighten up your day. Expect only the best flavorful and delicious food."

"This is a casual batik-decorated restaurant specializing in a variety of traditional and fusion Indonesian cuisines. It is not an exclusively vegan restaurant, but it has a decent selection of options for diners who want nothing to do with meats. The dishes contain authentic Indonesian flavors inspired by family recipes that have been passed from one generation to another."

"The restaurant’s name speaks for itself as it serves only authentic and delicious Indonesian courses. The chefs won’t go easy on you, so you should expect only the best and spiciest dishes like pad Thai and bo poh tempeh. Eating here feels like you’re visiting the country itself because of the service, ambiance, and the food itself."
