Burmatown


Exquisite Burmese fusion fare as good as you'd find in a major city – or better. Run by a mother and daughter of Burmese heritage, there's a warm, family vibe at this tiny restaurant that comes out in the favors and service. Get here by 5pm to sign up for a table or expect to wait a long time.

The tea leaf salad is the best we've had outside of Myanmar and the curries will make you dream of coming back even before you've left.
