London, United Kingdom
Cottons
Cottons on Chalk Farm Road has been a fixture of north London's Caribbean dining scene for decades, drawing a local crowd and out-of-neighbourhood visitors alike to its rum-forward bar and kitchen rooted in the flavours of the Caribbean basin. The address places it firmly in the creative corridor between Camden and Primrose Hill, where independent restaurants tend to outlast trends by building genuine neighbourhood loyalty rather than chasing critical attention.

Santa Fe, United States
Counter Culture

Malibu, United States
Country Kitchen
"COVID-19 Update: Open for pickup and delivery. Recently, there’s been a lot of speculation about the state of The Country Kitchen’s lease, but somehow the teeny hole-in-the wall burrito/burger joint persevered. Taking up the same sliver of a small strip mall across the PCH from the water since the early ‘70s, it’s the go-to for post-surf session bacon-egg-and-potato breakfast burritos and chili-cheese burgers. There’s nothing fancy about the execution, though it’s always delicious and wallet-friendly, and the same can be said of the picnic-table seating, which is great when you’ve wandered in off the beach (i.e. no shoes or shirts required). Also, please note that we have not vetted any businesses listed within our guides for their compliance with applicable safety regulations. "

Austin, United States
County Line on the Lake

17
Los Gatos, United States
Coup De Thai
On Los Gatos's main dining corridor, Coup De Thai occupies a position that few Thai restaurants in the South Bay manage: a neighborhood address with enough culinary seriousness to hold its own alongside the town's broader restaurant scene. For a town better known for its wine-country-adjacent California fare, a committed Thai kitchen on North Santa Cruz Avenue is worth understanding on its own terms.
18
Chicago, United States
Coup de Thai - Chicago
On North Broadway in Lakeview, Coup de Thai brings the layered regional cooking of Thailand to a Chicago neighborhood better known for its progressive American dining scene.

19
Los Angeles, United States
Courage Bagels
There’s a reason Courage Bagels is the one spot westsiders will actually cross the 405 for. These Montreal-style bagels have that well-suited crunch, and they’re almost too pretty to eat...almost.

Pro tip: get there early unless you love a long line.

29
Mexico City, Mexico
Covadonga
"By day, the Covadonga's denizens are generally old Spanish guys playing dominoes and eating traditional Asturian delicacies like tortilla espanola, but by night it's a whole different demographic that flocks here. Young local hipsters arrive around 7pm to begin their night out with a few beers, and shots, among friends. It's an old cantina, a traditional drinking den, and the futbol is always on TV, the aging waiters wear prim black vests over starchy white shirts, and the interiors haven't had a makeover in what feels like 50 years. It's comforting to know, though, that even in the Roma, one of the hippest parts of town, some places never change."
30
Plano, United States
Covino's
Covino's sits on Independence Parkway in Plano's mid-city corridor, where the dining scene has grown beyond the expected steakhouse and Tex-Mex formats into something harder to categorize.

38
New York City, United States
