    T'ang Court

    Hong Kong, Hong Kong

    Points

    2,180

    T'ang Court at The Langham holds three Michelin stars and 93 La Liste points, making it the strongest case for Cantonese fine dining on the Kowloon side of Hong Kong. Book well before you travel — this reservation is near impossible at short notice. Set menus for one or two diners make it more accessible than most restaurants at this level, the $$$ price range undercuts several comparable three-star options in the city.

    London, United Kingdom

    Points

    815

    Artesian is worth prioritising for a polished London cocktail occasion, especially dates, celebrations, or business drinks where awards history and room quality matter. It is a weaker fit for bargain drinking, large casual groups, or food-led plans; book it as the drinks anchor, not the whole night.

    The Royce

    Los Angeles, United States

    Points

    315

    The Royce in Pasadena is a steakhouse-American kitchen under chef David Féau, with French classical technique shaping the menu and three consecutive years of Opinionated About Dining recognition backing the quality. It is easier to book than most comparable LA venues and the setting, a former luxury showroom with serious architectural scale, makes it a credible choice for a considered dinner or special occasion outside the city centre.

    Book Grana at The Langham, Boston for an easy downtown hotel meal, especially breakfast or lunch around the Financial District.

    Pavilion is a practical central Chicago option, but not a strong choice for diners who need a defined cuisine, tasting format, price signal, or special-occasion plan. Use it for an easy daytime stop around North Wabash; cross-shop more clearly positioned Chicago venues if the booking needs to feel deliberate.

Use it for breakfast, brunch, or lunch plans; cross-shop The Royce, Rice Thai Tapas, Tokoro, Julienne, or Twohey's when the meal needs a clearer point of view.
