Named for the bustling Jakarta markets that shaped the chef's cooking, Pasar is an Indonesian restaurant on Alberta Street where the snacking is the main event. Coconut rice wraps around shredded chicken, a chile-bright coconut soup arrives buried under fried tofu and tempeh, and the desserts lean toward a crispy banana-and-chocolate crepe that earns its reputation. Bon Appétit named it one of America's Best New Restaurants in 2024.
