Hotel San Carlos - Bonjour Vietnam
Cool hangout, Lunch and dinner spot. The place for a pre- or post-event bite. This French-accented Vietnamese restaurant fills several downtown niches. Start off with the refreshing Deju Vu cocktail, then enjoy meat-stuffed grape leaves; spring rolls; braised pork in a caramelized fish sauce reduction; and winey, Asian-spiced beef stew (above).
Details: Hotel San Carlos, 202 N. Central Ave., Phoenix, 602-252-1223.
