The Got Weekend take
Why go
At Mot Hai Ba on Lewis Street, Chef Peja Krstic combines modern French technique with Vietnamese flavors in a menu that changes with the seasons. The Belgrade-born chef draws on family cooking traditions and years spent in Dallas kitchens. The restaurant describes its atmosphere as warm and casual, with seating indoors and on a patio. Start with kimchi and Gruyère rice fritters paired with confit garlic hummus, or brisket-filled bánh bao finished with shallot marmalade and crispy shallots. The crispy Vietnamese rice cake offers a choice of shrimp or tofu with roasted mushrooms, alongside bean sprouts, scallion, lettuce and herbs. Entrées include shaking beef with Angus tenderloin and soy vinaigrette, plus eggplant curry with tofu, mushrooms and cauliflower. A full bar serves craft cocktails and a curated wine selection, and the restaurant holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand award.
