- Sea by Thai
This list isn't in any particular order but, if it were, this entry and the next would be contenders for the #1 spot. Sea by Thai opened in January of this year, with the concept “Eat, Drink, Chill Out” under a contemporary relaxing atmosphere. Their customers enjoy "not only authentic Thai food but also a total Thai experience."

- Whole Foods
As previously mentioned, if this list started with the most popular lunch spots, Whole Foods would easily be a #1 contender. And what's not to love? That hot bar's got just about anything you could want, and it's made at that level of quality that has come to be expected from Whole Foods.

"As a Gastro Pub [Gastronomical Public House], Burger Bach stands out from an ordinary pub, bar or ‘burger joint’. The gastronomical side emphasizes on better preparation and high quality ingredients. With its origins in Europe, a public house is a gathering place for people to have a drink and socialize."
