Tiger Mama restaurant - $100 gift certificate

Chef Tiffani Faison offers adventurous Southeast Asian–inspired eats in a funky, transporting space.

Inspired by Thai, Vietnamese and other Southeast Asian cuisines, “Top Chef” alum Tiffani Faison takes a walk on the wild side at this Fenway-area dining den, serving funky yet polished plates, plus tiki-style cocktails at two bars. There's an urbane-meets-exotic edge to the space, which features a live green wall of herbs plucked for use by the kitchen.
