A new Vietnamese restaurant isn't news, especially in South County, the new pho frontier. But a Vietnamese restaurant that serves beignets in South County? You don't see that everyday.

Eleven46 officially opened this weekend in Foothill Ranch in the same plaza as Cinnamon Productions and Ahi Ahi. It takes over the space vacated by a Thai restaurant. Along with unorthodox banh mi sandwiches (they have one called a “Dunk & Dip Tri Tip”) and lemongrass beef bowls, they're offering actual beignets covered in powdered sugar.
According to their Facebook, the name, Eleven46, is “dedicated to the memory of an amazing mother
who found absolute joy in cooking for others and always
made guests feel at home. She and her husband not only had
11 kids, they cared for and fostered over 270 forgotten children
during the Vietnam War.”
