Les Ba’get

We miss the gorgeous plating we experienced pre-pandemic at this favorite Vietnamese cafe, but our order of fresh, wonderfully complex dishes was neatly packed and traveled well. The place is a bargain. Order this to go: Baguettes are right-out-of-the-oven crunchy and soft, and they come layered with pâté, aioli, cukes, daikon, carrots, red jalapeños, and cilantro, a surprising and satisfying meld of flavors. Equally fine: tart lemongrass pork; rich Hoisin butter chicken; subtly flavored brisket pho, simmered for 24 hours; and vermicelli coconut basil prawns, huge and juicy. Pro tip: The online menu is comprehensive and the parking ample.
