Dining review: The downtown Anchorage Latin fusion restaurant Palmeira has a festive new atmosphere and fresh and flavorful dishes like chilaquiles and ceviches.
Palmeira, the new Latin-fusion restaurant staking its claim on an off-the-beaten-path downtown block, seems to have its own weather system. Walking in, as I did for the first time during a late spring snowstorm, felt like walking through a break in the clouds. Sunny is the only word for it. The room, the music, the service and, happily, the food, is indisputably sunny.
I met my friend Maureen for a midweek lunch and the dining room was hopping. It’s a spirited space with a busy, open kitchen, hustling servers, lively music and animated diners. There was a birthday being celebrated at a corner and, to be honest, the whole space felt more like a party and less like a midweek, lunch break fuel-up. We snagged the very last table and pondered the fun yet focused menu.We started with a plate of chilaquiles with red and spicy pork to share nacho-style.
I returned with my daughter a couple of weeks later and there was a decided sea change between visits. First, the snow outside was finally giving up the ghost and second, Palmeira, all grown-up now, had acquired its beer and wine license. Micheladas are on the menu and the party is on.My daughter opted for simple avocado toast while I opted for huevos escondidos, or “hidden eggs” , which was anything but simple.
