    Burrata Brussels Sprouts Ricotta Gnocchi Plantains Bucatini Focaccia Chicken Florentine Pappardelle
    Tracie B.

    Our Paladar has few true competitors on flavor and quality in Rochester. Every dish on this table was loved by all of us - sharing bites and drinks was just a sensory and flavor explosion. I so recommend the hush puppies, the focaccia, all pastas and risotto - even the sandwiches were outstanding. The prices are decent for this level of talent and ingredients. A definite must try here in town for a relaxed environment with higher level dishes.

    Best food in Rochester. Appetizers, dinner and dessert were all amazing. Very friendly and professional service. We love the ambiance of sitting on the porch. Our favorite in town! The gnocchi is the best I've had anywhere else.

    We checked out Our Paladar in Rochester, MN, and the vibe inside is really cool. It's dark, moody, and has a great atmosphere. I started with the Smoke and Spice cocktail, which was fine but nothing special. For food, we tried the beef tartare since it was recommended, but it ended up being pretty disappointing. It didn't have much flavor even though it had a lot of ingredients mixed in. The mains were a mixed bag. The Bucatini was okay, but the short rib risotto was super delicious and definitely the highlight of the meal. We shared a couple of desserts, and both were good. Overall, it was a nice spot to try, but I'm not in a rush to go back. I might stop in again sometime just to check out their jerk chicken wings.

    Wedge salad

    Have been here a few times and always impressed by the service! Friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive staff.. The menu is unique-- and everything I've tried has been amazing! Favorites include the steak frites. The tuna tartare is another favorite, as well as the burrata. The wedge salad is also delicious-- if you don't know what you want, I can promise you, the wedge salad will be phenomenal every single time. As for pasta, the bucatini is another favorite of mine. If you haven't visited this place yet, please do! The chefs are brilliant and the staff is so warm and welcoming. Great addition to the Rochester area.

    Steak and frites
    Alejandra G.

    Interesting experience for me. I'm not sure how to describe the food and vibes but I can tell there is some Cuban and Italian influence. The service was amazing! The hostess and servers were so friendly and answered any questions we had regarding the menu. I ordered the steak frites and it was delicious. Also, they have mocktails for those who do not drink alcoholic beverages. I ordered El Floridita and it was good, sweet and spicy. Perfect for a date night, a night out with friends or with family. They have a bar downstairs where the restrooms are. It's a very laid back environment and I would like to check it out.

    A friend told me about his experience at Our Paladar and thought that I would love it. I'm so glad I took him up on that recommendation. I wasn't able to make it here for a dinner service, so we came for brunch. We made reservations to make sure that we could get a table And the weather was fairly chilly so we sat indoors, but their patio was pretty adorable. I'm pretty certain the building is an old train depot located right next to the tracks and it has plenty of character. It has Cuban vibes to the space and downstairs there is even a cocktail lounge that I would love to try next time! I would say it was an upscale dining experience, but wasn't pretentious. The food was great, but not overly expensive. The staff was pretty great and I definitely was torn on what to order. I can't wait to come back for a dinner service. If you're in Rochester, Minnesota, check it out!

    Yet another surprise find in Rochester! Here with a couple of friends to celebrate my partner's birthday and this was a great decision. We were seated quickly on arrival, and greeted by very friendly, and knowledgeable staff. The menu was an interesting mix of Cuban and Italian food. I will admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but what do I know?! I've been around a lot of Cuban food so I had high expectations for the Cubano...I was not disappointed! Everything we ordered was good. The pictures tell some of the story...the phone could not eat first! The drinks were also good! We had the pleasure of trying the bartender's new concoction and it was pretty good! Overall, this was a good experience. I can hear the yuca fries and plantains calling me back.

    I had a fantastic meal and look forward to coming back! There's a mix of Cuban and Italian food, you'll be able to find something for everyone. Everything we ordered was delicious and I'd recommend: Focaccia and compound butter (mint and chive) Cacio e Pepe arancini Jerk chicken wings Mafalde Gnudi Caesar Service was great, we were provided helpful tips, food was paced well, and we were checked on throughout the meal. It was a perfect dinner out on the patio!

    I remember going to this location when it was a different restaurant. Our paladar is a welcome addition to the place!! We had an amazing meal on a late Sunday afternoon. I was staying at the kahler and it wasn't a bad walk from the hotel to the restaurant. I love the decor and the Cuban Italian cuisine Our Paladar offers. Our server was super knowledgeable about the menu and had awesome recommendations which is always a great touch to the experience! I noticed how much attention they paid to the details of both the food and the dining experience even offering new plates and silverware in between the dishes. I was with a group of 3 and we got a few different dishes and shared. The cacio e Pepe Arancini had a great peppery bite and perfect crunch topped with a generous amount of Parmesan, the smoke and spice drink was delicious, also loved the patatas brava and the steak frites with the yuca which was also fried to perfection crunch but not greasy at all. The food was all so beautiful I was very impressed by this restaurant and would definitely come back again next time I'm in Rochester.

    Smoke and Spice cocktail
    Halima B.

    I had the Smoke and Spice cocktail with my dinner which was delicious! I shared the hummus and entree with my friend since the portions were big and pricey. The entree wasn't memorable but the hummus paired well with my cocktail. The main floor seating was a little bit too crowded for my liking as I could hear both tables conversations around me. Next time I plan on bar seating and enjoying the cocktails and appetizers.

    Beautiful exterior

    One of three best restaurants in Rochester, MN. Cuban and Italian influenced food. The Pappardelle pasta dish was my favorite.

    The boxes that the Cast Iron Mac N Cheese With Beef Brisket, Caesar Salad and French Fries were…read moresent in, were all filled to the top. This was enough food for 2 adults who like to eat! For the price and the quantity, I expected it might have been lower quality but everything lookedCaesar Salad amazing. It tasted even better! Especially the Cast Iron Mac N Cheese. It is creamy and comforting with a wonderful contrasting finishing crumb. Then we got beef on top which added a sweet filling protein. I also felt good after eating. I did not feel bloated, even though I ate until I was full. That is a sign of fresh and healthy ingredients. I would come back to try more of the menu at any time!

    We stopped in for Forager while visiting Rochester…read more Our server Emily was very friendly and attentive. She never left us waiting for service and offered some great suggestions on the menu. While we know this is a brewery, they also serve batch cocktails, instead of a full bar. We started with their version of an old fashioned, which wasn't our first choice but they were actually tasty albeit a bit sweet. Since the weather was below 0, I craved something hot and comforting. I ordered the Beef Stroganoff which was tasty. Included braised local beef, mushrooms, onions, garlic, parmesan, cream sauce, dill, house-made fettuccini, topped with sour cream. The sauce was light so you didn't feel like it weighed you down. My husband ordered the birria tacos. Beef brisket, white onions, mozzarella, cilantro, corn tortilla, green salsa, beef broth, lime Although they were tasty, they were quite greasy. Prices were reasonable. I would come back again and try the pizza.
