Muraya
Day 1: 5-Course Elevated Colombian Tasting Series
If you haven’t yet discovered Colombian cuisine (or hey, even if you have), you won’t want to miss Muraya, which opened last September and vaulted right onto Charlotte Magazine’s “Best in CLT” List and Axios’ “Best in Charlotte” List. Chef Mariana Arango is bringing Colombian food to the South End with such finesse that Charlotte Magazine calls Muraya “a feast for the eyes—and the table.” Muraya, which is short for Amurallada, the “walled city” of Cartagena, is designed to look like a sultry lounge in that fair city, with exposed brick walls, antique-style furniture, and a fireplace with candles adorning the mantle. Within this environment, Chef Arango serves up delicacies like Croquetas de Posta Cartagena, deep-fried shredded steak croquettes with blue cheese bechamel and peppercorn pan sauce, snapper squid ink risotto with chorizo, pollo callejero, which is cornflake-crusted chicken with gruyère macaroni & cheese and truffled honey, and superb ceviches and mini arepas. Leave room for the luscious desserts too. We are excited to visit here and to learn more from Chef Arango about the food of her home country.
