Consider this a red letter day for fans of Sydney chef Mark Jensen's Vietnamese dishes. Cult Surry Hills restaurant Red Lantern—founded by brother-and-sister team Luke and Pauline Nguyen in a converted red terrace house in 2002—has a new little sister, Red Lantern on Riley in nearby Darlinghurst. The new outpost will place more emphasis on family-style shared dishes, but you can expect the same symphony of spicy, sweet, rich, and sour flavors that put the original joint on the map.

Standouts on the menu include Goi Du Du, green papaya salad with pork belly, tiger prawns and perilla leaves, and Cari Vit, a fragrant coconut milk duck curry served with banana blossom. The elegant Indochine-inspired decor—ornate, French colonial-style wrought iron, wooden latticework, deep leather banquettes, and scarlet wallpaper—will transport you to Old Saigon well before the server brings your complimentary bowl of pho.
