Rank 1. Teni East Kitchen
Californian Burmese Café
Burmese food with a California conscience in a Temescal cafe where the tea leaf salads arrive with kale and golden roti bread disappears fast. The lunch specials are a particular draw, a hot entree and a fresh salad for a price that makes you feel like you've gotten away with something. Bright, airy, wooden beams overhead. The Michelin Guide gave it a Bib Gourmand, which tracks: the portions are generous and nothing on the menu feels fussy.

Rank 2. Burmatown
Innovative Burmese
The bright-orange bungalow in a Corte Madera strip of shops gives nothing away, but the Burmese restaurant inside draws neighborhood families who fill every table most nights. Tea leaf salad is the reason to start, fermented and crunchy and unlike anything else on a menu in Marin County. The mood is genuinely relaxed in the way that only places with warm servers and no pretension manage, and the kitchen skips fusion entirely.
