Indochine

Editorial Review

Get your fusion on at this French-colonial-Asian joint with a warm, tropical interior. Lots of palm leaves and birds of paradise. One of the original too-cool-for-school spots is still cool, minus some pretension and plus some uptowners. Gigantic ginger prawns, sole steamed in a banana leaf with coconut milk and lime, and buttery lemon tarts, served by smokin' hot staff. Standout lychee martinis are deceptively smooth, but if you want to walk out in a straight line, best pace yourself.
