Sitting on the front patio of the Sesame Asian Kitchen, you’ll have a prime spot for watching people come and go from the Shakespeare Festival’s Elizabethan Theatre directly across the street. It’s ideal for a pre-show meal.

The Asian-fusion menu emphasizes fresh, local ingredients. Try the Vietnamese fish and chips for a different take on that classic dish. Picky eaters will love the dedicated children’s menu, from which they can order a simple chicken bento or panfried noodles. There are also plenty of gluten-free and vegan options on the menu. This is the kind of place you might eat at twice during your visit, just because there are so many specialties. Plus, the location can’t be beat.
