This category covers the globe, gastronomically, from Mexican to Italian to Indian. Encanto Cantina (2839 Mall Dr., Eau Claire) means “charm” or “spell” in Spanish, and it has lots and lots of fresh seafood dishes along with typical Mexican fare. Leona’s Pizzeria (406 Galloway St., Eau Claire) got its start as Covizza, Jakob and Brittany Paulsrud’s backyard biz born during COVID, which then moved to Banbury Place, and now has found its forever home on Galloway. Complementing its superb pizzeria offerings is an array of weekly musical entertainment, including stellar artists-in-residence. New Maharaja Indian Cuisine & Bar (1009 W Park Ave., Chippewa Falls) is authentically northern Indian, whose rich flavors focus on coconut, coriander, and cinnamon, rather than the spicy Southern Indian cuisine. —Barbara Arnold
