ALESIA ON CENTRAL – Vietnamese
Three founders, three kitchens in their childhoods, French, Vietnamese and Chinese, and one small dining room on Central Avenue where those threads get braided together. Alesia serves beef pho built on a broth simmered a full day, crusty banh mi, fresh summer rolls, French pates, ratatouille, lobster bisque and coconut curry. The interior is bright and spare; the real draw is the courtyard out back, strung with lights and thick with bougainvillea. A Knoouk market inside sells wine, coffee, tea and provisions. Lunch and dinner run Tuesday through Saturday only. The soups and the crusty bread are what people repeat.
