Madison’s “Hottest” Restaurant & Bar 🔥🍸
I first visited Nattspill because of its impressive 4.7⭐ Google rating and its rare-in-Madison closing time of 1:00 AM. With fairly modest expectations, I was pleasantly surprised — the food was seriously good! Here are my top picks: 🥟 Sichuan Pork Dumplings The star of the menu! These are essentially hong you chao shou (Sichuan wontons in chili oil), with a slight twist. The wrappers are thin, the filling is juicy and well-balanced, and they’re topped with chili oil, black vinegar, and crushed peanuts — you really can’t go wrong with that combo 🌶️🥜. 🌯 Spicy Lamb Wontons Don’t be fooled by the name — these aren’t traditional wontons. Instead, they’re crispy, fried lamb spring rolls wrapped in wonton skins! The real highlight is the green dipping sauce — tangy, slightly sweet, and super refreshing. I liked it so much I used bread to wipe the plate clean 😂. 🐚 Mussels in Chile Guajillo Cream Tender mussels in a mildly spicy cream sauce — a classic French dish with a subtle Chinese twist. Rich, flavorful, and definitely worth ordering 🍶. 🍗 Three Cup Chicken (San Bei Ji) Shockingly authentic! Served in generous portions with a big bowl of rice — so comforting and satisfying 🍚👌. 🍕 Bonus: Brick-Oven Pizza! Yes, you read that right — a Chinese-inspired bar serving thin-crust, brick-oven pizza! I saw many tables mixing pizzas with dumplings and spring rolls — a truly unique fusion experience. The prices are very reasonable, the vibe is moody and slightly retro with a Chinese twist 🎎🍻, and the food is solid. Whether you’re into Asian fusion or just looking for a great late-night spot, Nattspill is a fantastic choice!
