to leave town to taste flavors from around the world

Sacramento is the Farm-to-Fork Capital after all, but our fork extends around the globe. Here’s a short list of places we can try when wanderlust hits our palate: brunch in France (BRASSERIE DU MONDE , 1201 K St.) or Mexico (MEZCAL GRILL , 5701 Broadway); lunch in Indonesia (BALI KITCHEN , 1100 Front St.), Ethiopia (ABYSSINIA ETHIOPIAN RESTAURANT, 1346 Fulton Ave.) or Vietnam (QUÁN NEM NINH HÒA , 6450 Stockton Blvd.); and dinner in Nepal (NEW KATHMANDU KITCHEN , 2672 J St.), the Czech Republic (LA TRATTORIA BOHEMIA , 3649 J St.) or Spain (TAPA THE WORLD , 2115 J St.).

And for a sweet blast from the past, we can stop for a slice from RICK’S DESSERT DINER (2401 J St.).
