Birrieria Zaragoza

mexican · Bib

Note: This restaurant is temporarily closed.This Mexican institution specializes in a single item—birria—tender, stewed goat accompanied by diced onions, cilantro, and house-made salsa. In fact, goat is all that’s on the menu, though you’ll get a few options as to how to enjoy it: on a plate or in a bowl, in a small or large portion, bone-in or bone-out. Opt for bone-in if possible, as it packs far more flavor. The bowl option drowns the goat in a generous dose of hearty goat consommé, while the plate is accompanied by handmade corn tortillas for build-your-own tacos, with a small side of cons

Channeling all the ease of an underground dinner party, Chef Phillip Foss invites guests into his literal home (he lives upstairs). There is but one seating, everyone is served at the same time, and people are encouraged to bring as much wine as they want. The warehouse space feels most like a test kitchen, and guests can wander about, explore the pantry, and practically stand next to the chefs as they cook and plate. The cuisine is creative, starting with a shrimp cocktail croquette with shrimp snow that must be licked off the plate. Maybe there’s a play on oysters Rockefeller or maybe there'

Ghin Khao

Thai · Bib

The name is Thai for “eat rice,” and you’ll want plenty of it to mop up every last bite of this kitchen's perfectly spicy, salty, sweet and tangy Northern Thai dishes. Operated by chef siblings, Nova and Kami Sasi, this is a fun, lively spot, with graffiti-like signage, hip-hop in the background, and colorful murals bedecking the walls. Every item is perfectly balanced, from the crunchy and subtly spiced fishcakes with cucumber-herb salad to the glorious nam khao tod, featuring crispy rice with ground chicken, pork skin, plenty of fresh ginger, cilantro and green onion.As a bonus, it’s also BY

Moody Tongue

Moody Tongue is a unique showcase, whereby a creative menu bearing a panoply of inspiration and influence is brilliantly matched with a virtuosic array of house-crafted brews. The contemporary dining room is discreetly perched atop the working brewery. Unsurprisingly, the word "moody" befits the intimate yet masculine vibe.Beverages are an equal partner to the food, and the beer pairing is a must to fully engage in the experience. Indulge in such creations as Hokkaido scallop and a tempura-fried squash blossom filled with Iberico pork, as well as Australian wagyu with sweet corn bread filled w

HaiSous

vietnamese, asian · Bib

This passion project of Chef Thai Dang and wife, Danielle, offers refined Vietnamese cuisine in a plum setting. The menu, divided into five sections, is filled with wonderful, lesser-known (and possibly unexpected) dishes you won’t want to miss. The restaurant offers many seating options: an open kitchen fringed with comfy seats; a bar area for cocktails and perhaps an order of those famous chicken wings; as well as two dining rooms, one with communal seating. Don’t leave without sampling the goi vit (duck salad), followed by ché, a Vietnamese rice pudding with coconut, sesame, and toasted pea

Pleasant House Pub

Gastropub, English · Bib

Classic English pies may be the specialty of this house, but don’t let that inspire visions of chintz and tea cozies—the interior here is decidedly modern, with marble-topped tables and hand-crafted pottery. The crowds come for the pies, and for good reason—they’re fabulous. The crust is flaky and buttery, and the inside, hearty and satisfying. Dig into the steak and ale, with its beef stew filling and side of minty peas, gravy and mashed potatoes, and you’ll be hunting for every last crumb. The comfort food hits also keep on coming, from rarebit mac and cheese with Trooper Ale cheese sauce, t

Chez Joël

French, Classic French

Chez Joël is a tasteful setting beloved by expats recalling their travel stories. Here, walls gleam thanks to a grand chandelier, framed French posters, and ice-blue accents; windows are dressed with velvet; and the courtyard outdoors beckons on warm days. A cozy bar in the back is ideal for sipping, but then get down to business by partaking in this kitchen’s cuisine—classic French mingled with global effects.Begin with such signatures as cuisses de grenouilles à la Provençale—frogs' legs cooked with garlic, spinach and just the right bit of butter. Then linger over a perfect bowl of Gruyère-

Yao Yao

Chinese, Regional Cuisine

Score one of the front tables for a view of the glass-enclosed kitchen, though the wood-crafted banquette is ideal for settling in. Yao Yao pickled fish is the signature dish here, and it comes in three sizes (extra-large feeds up to six people!). Fiery and potent, this plate delivers a one-two punch with a funky seafood quality and the sharp tang of sour greens. Choose the "two flavored pickled" for a taste of Yao Yao pickled fish and boiled beef in a spicy Szechuan sauce. Wontons in chili oil are a no-brainer, and tere are also a slew of sides, ranging from celtuce and dry bean curd skin to
