Sofaer & Co.

Located within one of Yangon’s 187 historic (and now protected) buildings from the colonial era, this restaurant is buzzing with locals and travelers alike. The original tile floors, wicker-backed chairs and rich, dark teak transport diners back to the early 1900s, while the bright mural of a young female figure and a bookcase lined with Monocle and Kinfolk magazines are a nod to today’s trends. Owned by a foreigner, the menu is authentically Asian, and the wait staff is incredibly attentive.
