Inside the Source Hotel in RiNo, chef/restaurateur Alon Shaya has created a destination for Mediterranean cuisine inspired by his grandmother’s recipes and the cuisine of Israel, where he was born. The wood-fired pita is unbeatable, and the hummus is impossibly smooth; start there, but order liberally, as it’s nearly impossible to make a bad choice. And if you’re going to splurge on brunch anywhere in town, make it the weekend sprawling buffet here.
