BEST NEW RESTAURANT

Oh, LaLa, Goa

A boutique restaurant and lounge in the heart of Siolim, Goa, Oh, LaLa has become the talk of the town. Set in a sylvan setting surrounded by backwaters and lush mangroves, the venue has a boho-chic atmosphere. Besides food that is inspired by Goan, continental, and Italian cuisines, and theme-based nights, the look and feel of Oh, LaLa is a big draw. Think breezy verandahs, thatched roofs, canework lamps, lots of plants, and a boat that ferries you around. instagram.com/ohlalagoa

CHÔ, New Delhi

The Vietnamese restaurant impresses with its reimagined versions of street food and regional favourites from the Mekong Delta and Nguyen Dynasty. An all-day kitchen and bar, the dining venue features vibrant wall art, handmade floor tiles and wicker baskets, and echoes the hospitable and tropical essence of a family cottage in Vietnam. cho-vietnam.com
