Sharing is caring with these tasty small plates at some of our favorite bars and restaurants.
SHAKSHUKA
This dish of slow-simmered tomatoes with warming spices, egg, and feta is a Tunisian delight. You’ll need the rich, savory flavor to soak up those strong gin cocktails at this Covington spot.
Juniper’s, 409 W. Sixth St., Covington, (859) 291-4466, junipersginbar.net
PIMIENTOS DE SHISHITO
Even a dish as simple as blistered shishito peppers and Maldon sea salt is a major treat at an eatery that has landed on our Best Restaurants list five times.
Mita’s, 501 Race St., downtown, (513) 421-6482, mitas.co
FATTOUSH
Menu items at this foodie favorite switch out often—the lineup depends on what fresh produce the restaurant’s vendors bring in each week—but this Mediterranean fried bread salad generally stays in rotation.
Abigail Street, 1214 Vine St., Over-the-Rhine, (513) 421-4040, abigailstreet.com
TORTILLA ESPAÑOLA
The menu at this newish wine spot features several Spanish tapas classics, including this potato, egg, and onion omelette, cooked in olive oil and topped with aioli and parsley.
Conserva, 225 Elm St., Ludlow, (859) 261-0680, conservatapasbar.com
CEVICHE
This dish is composed of shrimp, orange, grapefruit, avocado, and lime, mixed with various herbs and spices (habanero, cumin, serrano, and cilantro). Served with yuca chips, it’s citrus-y seafood worthy of being the national dish of Peru.
Solstice, 1544 Madison Rd., East Walnut Hills, (513) 872-1355, solsticecinci.com
