This is the place to lean into bresaola, mortadella, salami, steaks, sauces, and changing cuts from the butcher side of the operation. The cooking rewards diners who want more than a familiar entree path, while still giving the group straightforward grill anchors.

This is a strong pick for diners who want familiar dishes with a twist rather than a cautious salad-and-wrap stop. Root-vegetable Calamari, in-house Beyond Steak, Coconut Shrimp, Burek, and Baklava Cheesecake give curious groups several ways to test the kitchen's plant-based Mediterranean range.

Adventurous eaters have more to do here than add jalapenos. Dill With It, Island Heat, Butter Chicken, Vegan BBQ Jackfruit and Detroit - Diva all push the menu into clear flavour lanes, so repeat visits can move around instead of circling one safe favourite.

Curious diners can move past the safest pho-and-noodle path without leaving PHOmily’s everyday order. Bún Bò Huế, Spicy Beef Tripe Salad, Tom Yum Soup, Mango Winter Rolls, Coconut Shrimp, and Thai Beef Salad give the meal sharper edges.

The best route is not just Butter Chicken. Taash gives curious diners Lamb Shank Nihari, house Taash curries, momos, makhni momos, and Indo Hakka noodles to explore.

Curious brunch diners get real choices here, not just one unusual special. Crab & Rice, Garlic Lamb Pita, Iron Rice Bowl (OG), Beet Omelette, and Mascarpone & Pears show a kitchen willing to mix diner habits with sharper, more unexpected combinations.

The menu rewards curiosity in a compact cafe format. Kimcheese brings in-house kimchi and kimchi mayo into a bagel sandwich, while Larry David gives the board a smoked-salmon-and-pickled-onion signature.

The best order is not limited to pad Thai. Apple Salad, Elephant Chicken Wings, Drunken Noodles and the curry section give curious diners several ways into the menu, from herbal crunch to orange-zest wings and deeper curry sauces.

Curious diners get more to play with than rare-beef pho. Bun Bo Hue brings a spicier soup lane, the pho section includes brisket, tendon, tripe and beef balls, and the drink list moves into salted lime, durian, avocado, mango, and coconut shakes.

Diners who want more than safe red sauce have real choices here: squid ink Spaghetti Nero, lobster ravioli, truffle-mushroom tortelloni, pistachio-crusted scallops, and seafood fettuccine all push the order forward.

Diners who want more than the safest noodle order have real paths here: Khao Soi, Crying Tiger Beef, Siam Fish, Darling Duck, green papaya salad, Panang Curry with lychee, and extra-hot chili requests all give diners room to explore.

Nduja with pistachios and honey, Pickle Richard, Nashville Hot Wheel, and Haggard give adventurous diners enough oddball options without leaving pizza-bar comfort.

Crab Rangoon Dip, chicken-fried oyster mushrooms, Sweet Potato Flatbread, Baked Brie, and Sunset Glow give curious eaters more to explore than standard pub defaults.

The menu has enough oddball pub-food energy for curious eaters: chopped cheese, Crunch Wrap, Punk Rock Nachos, Pizza Fingers, cauli-bites with curry dip, and queso all sit beside more familiar fish, wings, and burgers.
