Mie Cafe
Siv Pola is one of Cambodia's best young up-and-coming chefs. He grew up in a small village outside of Siem Reap, where his mother inspired his love of cooking. Later, he trained abroad, landing in Switzerland and working at Michelin-starred Domaine de Châteauvieux before coming back to Cambodia to open his own restaurant, Mie Cafe. A stand-out dish on the menu is a cross between a French beef tartare and Cambodian laab, served very rare and spiced with lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime and fresh chili. Topped with a delicate wakame salad and violet butterfly pea flowers, the dish is a perfect example of how Siv's best creations effortlessly meld east and west.

Cuisine Wat Damnak
Recently declared one of the 50 best restaurants in Asia, Cuisine Wat Damnak is gaining international acclaim for its unique take on Cambodian food. The French chef, Joannes Riviere, uses only local ingredients: freshwater fish from the Tonle Sap lake, foraged Cambodian herbs, earthy wild mushrooms, butterfly pea shoots grown in his own garden. Riviere plays with the traditional flavors in Khmer cuisine and combines them in ways that are entirely his own. He offers two five- or six-course menus that change weekly, but local freshwater fish, a staple of the Cambodian diet, always features.

Mariscos German Taco Truck
Long before food trucks became a trend, taco trucks like Mariscos German were serving up delicious Mexican food in San Diego. There are many that exist, almost all starting their name with "Mariscos," but Mariscos German is arguably the best. The truck is parked faithfully next to the same liquor store every day and there's no need to hunt them down or follow them on social media to figure out where they will be next. Nearly everything on the menu is affordable and tasty. if you're a seafood lover, definitely go for the Tostada Loca, which seems to contain just about every seafood imaginable. Make sure not to pass up on the complimentary consomme, a concentrated and hearty broth, while you wait for your food.

Two for the Road
Two for the Road was recently named the No. 2 food truck in the country, according to The Daily Meal. Specializing in classic American comfort food, this truck prides itself in using quality ingredients and giving you your money's worth. Make sure to check out their popular Cap ‘N’ Crunch Crab Cakes, which pack a ton of flavor. The burgers and lobster rolls are equally worthy.

Star of Greece
The famous and popular Star of Greece sits on the South Australian coastline overlooking the beautiful and pristine Port Willunga Beach. The food served here is fresh where they utilise seasonal produce accompanied with the loveliest of presentation on every plate. A highlight from their lunch menu was the seared deep sea scallops, potato, yolk puree, rocket and brown butter. A trio of plump and juicy scallops with a slight sear on the outside with yellow potato sphere balls cooked just right, still soft yet firm enough to hold its shape and not fall apart once a fork and knife touched it. Dots of yolk puree, a small drizzle of brown butter and baby rocket leaves completed the pretty looking dish. As the food is seasonal, the dishes are different almost every time, but rest assured, everything is fantastic and flavorful! Drive out of town for a beautiful meal paired with a stunning view that is postcard worthy.

Wood Shop BBQ
Two guys out of the South got together over some beers one day and decided to do something about the desperate barbecue situation in Seattle. The result is smoke-ring laden, flavor-heavy, and worth running out and finding their truck right now. The menu is small, concise, and filled only with smoked-meats--and that's all that you'll need.

Don Lucho's Food Cart
It's nothing but a cart that gets dragged into breweries and outside bottle shops, but it's the place to find one of the city's best sandwiches. Lomo saltado is a classic Peruvian steak dish, but this truck reimagines it. The whole hot mess is held together on soft bread, which is happy to absorb the flavor dripping from the freshly-grilled meat. Red onions and tomatoes brighten things up, but the real heat comes from your choice of sauces: mild aji amarillo or the fiery rocoto.

Grater Grilled Cheese Truck
This popular food truck, which also recently opened two storefronts, creates some of the best grilled cheese sandwiches you've ever tasted. Not to be missed is the Puerto Nuevo Style Lobster. This sandwich consists of a five cheese blend, chunks of butter fried lobster, snow crab and their signature Sierra Nevada pale ale chipotle aioli. The taste is worth every single calorie.

Bracero Cocina
Bracero Cocina De Raiz is helmed by Tijuana Chef Star Javier Plascencia. This first big push into the US market has been met with great success. Reservations are filled up weeks in advance and the open walk-in section has a queue forming long before the doors open. The dishes served at this modern Mexican cuisine restaurant are breathtakingly beautiful. A must-get is the Wood Grilled Octopus. Tender smoky pieces of octopus, mixed beans, tomatoes and finished with a black bean and squid ink sauce. The tacos, with made-to-order corn tortillas, are also not to be missed. Finally, make sure to save room for dessert. The thoughtfully designed dessert menu features items that will delight your tastebuds and your eyes.

North End Grill
It's hard to not sing the praises of Danny Meyer, a man who knows burgers - or certainly knows the people to hire to make incredible burgers for him! At North End Grill, the lunch-only burger is comprised of a house blend of short rib, cooked to a medium rare that oozes delicious juices when you bite into it, topped with caramelized onions AND fried onions, all on a squishy brioche bun spread with spicy aioli. The result is not overpowered by onions as one might think, but instead beautifully married in a mix of textures and a slight kick of heat at the end. Lettuce and tomato is served alongside, but it hardly needs either as on its own, it's a thing of beauty. And if you were at all worried about this not being rich enough, those are duck fat fries riding shotgun.
