1. Belly of the Beast

    Mexican

    In a modest Spring storefront, Chef Thomas Bille merges Mexican cooking with global technique—saag paneer arrives under spinach mole verde, duck breast swims in cherry mole—without sacrificing balance for novelty. The corn-and-flour tortillas and shared plates encourage wandering; the tres leches with passionfruit and torched meringue suggest he knows when to stop playing.
