    Seoul, South Korea

    Restaurant

    L'Amant Secret holds a Michelin star and an 88-point La Liste ranking for Chef Son Jong-won's contemporary French cooking built on Korean seasonal ingredients; not just for its Jacques Garcia-designed room on the 26th floor of L'Escape Hotel.

    Budapest, Hungary

    Restaurant

    Budapest's only two-Michelin-star restaurant, Stand delivers tasting-menu precision from chefs Tamás Széll and Szabina Szulló.

    Héritage by Kei Kobayashi, Tokyo, Japan

    Héritage by Kei Kobayashi

    Tokyo, Japan

    Restaurant

    Héritage by Kei Kobayashi is a credible choice for a formal occasion dinner in Tokyo: Michelin-starred French cooking on the 45th floor of the Ritz-Carlton, with skyline views and a classical menu that skews lighter than its French pedigree might suggest. Book well ahead, request a window seat, treat it as a full evening; this is not a drop-in venue.

    Restaurant

    Brent Savage's Bentley is the strongest wine-and-food pairing in the Sydney CBD, backed by La Liste recognition and multiple Star Wine List top-ranked finishes. The move to the Radisson Blu Hotel gave it room-scale and confidence to match its ambition. Easier to book than its award profile suggests, the bar seating is a genuine option for wine-serious visitors.

    La Colombe, Cape Town, South Africa

    La Colombe

    Cape Town, South Africa

    Restaurant

    La Colombe ranked 49th on the World's 50 Best Restaurants in 2024 and is one of the hardest tables to secure in South Africa.
