1. Kingfisher

    Vietnamese

    A striking bar anchors this Golden Hill spot, where inventive cocktails meet modern Vietnamese cooking. Dishes like raw scallops with tamarind and pineapple flavors, or mushroom congee, receive careful technique and a contemporary edge. The room has considerable charm, the drinks are thoughtfully made, and the food tastes like it knows what it's doing.
