34. Kanella

This solid Cypriot BYO might be best known for its brunch (thanks in part to an appearance on the Food Network), but dinner is where chef Konstantinos Pitsillides really shines. From the daily selection of house-made dips to a simply grilled whole fish or a deeply flavored, marjoram-spiced octopus ragout, there’s just not a bad dish on the menu.

What to Get: About those dips … pray that the creamy, salty carp roe version is in the rotation on your visit.

Pro Tip: As of September, the Sunday-night family-style meze dinners ($30 to $35 per person) returned.
