"Chef Carles Tejedor (El Nacional, the Academy, and others) is behind the timeless Be So, which specializes in haute versions of hotel-dining-room classics like steak tartare and oysters. The restaurant’s wine presentation is unique: Pick a favorite scent from one of seven small perfume bottles, and the sommelier will recommend a handful different wines to match. Be So shares the Hotel Sofia with three other worthy newcomers, including the Mediterranean restaurant Impar, the library-themed book cafe PhiloSofia, and the Zuu dinner theater." - Isabel Conde
