Whether you want familiar food made with care and pride or a taste of something new, there are lots of choices that will please you. Here are a few ideas: New and new-ish If you’ve been coming to Madison for many years, you may have old favorites. If you want to branch out and find something new, here are some ideas— • Lucille (hip spot for cocktails and Detroit-style pan pizza—downtown) • Morris Ramen (Madison’s coolest place for ramen—downtown) • Tavernakaya (a Madison spin on the Japanese pub with small plates—downtown) • Buraka (wonderful Ethopian flavors—not truly new, but a new location on Willam- son street) • MintMark (small and large plates reflecting the new”produce-forward) trend— East side/Williamson street) • Compadres (Madison’s best new Mexican restaurant, including guacamole made fresh at table-side—Middleton) Monroe Street This upscale Madison neighborhood is undergoing a massive road construction project, so getting there is a bit of a pain—use your phone to navigate. But the reward is that you’ll beat the crowds. And we all know how much an independent business appreciates the extra effort in tough times! • Brasserie V (Gastro Pub with incredible beer list) • Pizza Brutta (Authentic Neapolitan-style wood-fired pizza) • Miko Poké (the hottest trend in food, and the next thing after sushi) • Everly (airy and casual spot featuring a modern vegetable-forward menu) • Gates and Brovy (Madison’s seafood specialists) And you can always ask a local—many ORA reps and retailers are based in Madison and love to share their favorites 7 ORA Membership Directory • Listed alphabetically by member last name • All members are exhibiting unless otherwise noted Need help finding a brand or product? • Index of all brands (alphabetical) is located at the back of this Buyers’ Guide • visit www.orareps.com for an up-to-date list that can be sorted by product category ORA Governance and Operations ORA Board of Directors President ...............................................................
