The best restaurants, bars, and food carts, according to a local dining expert
Anh and Chi
Open for: Lunch and dinner
Price range: $$
For years, if you wanted to eat at this stylish, locals’ Vietnamese spot on Main, you’d have to queue. In a pandemic pivot, Anh and Chi began accepting reservations, bookable with a $10 charity donation. Everything on the menu is bursting with fresh flavors and perfectly balanced in terms of spice and heat. Portions are wildly generous, so order everything for the table. Must-orders include custardy bánh khot prawn cakes wrapped in crispy rice and the fun, finger-licking DIY platter of khay bánh hỏi lụi nướng. It’s worth considering takeout, which gives you access to the very good wine list at 50 percent off.
Know before you go: Pop in to sister-bar Good Thief next door for creative cocktails and maybe a few binchotan-grilled skewers.
