(From February 2011) Vietnamese dishes get a contemporary spin at this stylish yellow cottage. Our splendid lunch included Pagoda Rolls—pan-fried crepes stuffed with pork and shrimp, wrapped in green-leaf lettuce, and then wrapped again in rice paper—and pan-seared, chicken-stuffed dumplings with a kicky ginger soy sauce. Classic pho—tender chicken soup with vermicelli noodles simmered with cilantro and red onion—was simply delicious. Ditto our sweet and sour soup spiked with okra, tomato, pineapple, shrimp, and catfish in a spicy tamarind broth. Bar.
