"At British chef Dominic Quirke’s 7-year-old neo-bistro — among the city’s first — you’ll find a celebration of local terroir mixed with nods to his preferred foreign cuisines (often through sweet-sour combinations). Incorporating ingredients sourced from the region’s best fishermen, butchers, and growers, dishes may range from hake pad thai dressed with cauliflower and zucchini to spiced lamb tortellini with chickpeas in a chorba-style soup. Last-minute reservations can be tough to snag, so plan ahead. [$$]" - Lindsey Tramuta
