In his corner of the Old Bank District, Josef Centeno starts Bar Amá’s brunch later than most restaurants. You’ll forgive the delay. Centeno’s reimagined cantina elevates Tex-Mex comfort food to culinary creativity. The full bar offers spiked agua frescas, made-to-order cocktails and a lengthy list of mezcals.

Offering East-meets-West inspired dishes, the atmosphere at Little Sister is so relaxed that patrons almost feel like they are dining in chef Tin Vuong’s home. This downtown outpost serves redefined Southeast Asian classics such as spring rolls wrapped in rice paper, coconut-braised pork with quail eggs, and a shareable hot pot of braised beef shank. Just add a few glasses of rosé, and you’re all set.
