Traveler is a concept-driven bistro that changes seasons like chapters in a travel magazine, beginning with Taiwan and moving onward through Asia with each menu cycle. Expect playful Asian pop-culture design, thoughtfully composed dishes, and cocktails available all day—note: the space is 21+ after 5:00 PM due to a liquor vending machine. Created by Gulp and 929, it’s a neighborhood escape that makes every visit feel like a short trip abroad.
What to Order
Taiwanese Gua Bao
Pillowy steamed buns cradling braised pork belly, pickled mustard greens, crushed peanuts, and bright cilantro for a perfect balance of richness and tang.
Yuzu Miso Glazed Branzino
Crisp-skinned fillet glazed with yuzu-miso, served over fragrant rice and seasonal greens that brighten each bite.
Seasonal Rice Bowl
A rotating composition of roasted proteins, charred vegetables, house pickles, and toasted sesame—an approachable snapshot of the current destination.
