Maastricht, Netherlands
Sofa
Sofa sits on Hoge Weerd in Maastricht, a city that runs one of the Netherlands' most concentrated corridors of serious dining. The address places it within walking distance of the Maas riverfront and the limestone-walled old quarter, where Maastricht's dining scene has historically earned more Michelin attention per capita than almost anywhere else in the country. What Sofa does within that context is the question worth answering.

Neringa, Lithuania
Sofa de Pancho Nida
On the Curonian Spit, where Lithuanian fishing tradition meets protected-forest solitude, Sofa de Pancho Nida occupies a quietly singular position on Pamario Street. The address alone — beside the lagoon-facing edge of Nida — signals a kitchen that draws from one of Europe's most geographically specific larders. For visitors crossing to Neringa by ferry, it is a natural first stop when orienting around where local ingredients actually come from.

Yangon, Myanmar
Sofaer & Co
“The Sofaer building was once one of the swankiest department stores in Rangoon. A century ago in Kipling’s poem, ‘Mandalay’ was beckoning the overheated imaginations of a generation of young Englishmen. Here you could buy fine Egyptian cigarettes, French liqueurs. The floor tiles were shipped over from Manchester. Now people live here. A half-century of a pariah state has left few of these buildings in good repair. And there are divergent views on whether to preserve them. For many, a reminder of colonial subjugation; for others, vestige of a golden time.”

Sofia

Sofia
Sofia sits in Ronco all'Adige, a small agricultural comune in the Verona province where the Po plain meets the first gentle folds of the Veneto foothills.

Margate City, United States
Sofia Restaurant
Book Sofia Restaurant when the goal is a polished Greek Mediterranean dinner with waterfront atmosphere, wine, and a smart-casual room. It is strongest for date night, celebrations, group dining, and first-timers who want seafood, grilled meat, and a slower shore dinner rather than a quick casual meal.
11

Understanding what Sofia's represents today requires understanding how Little Italy itself has changed.
13
Tbilisi, Georgia
Sofiko
Sofiko operates from a side street in central Tbilisi, placing itself within a generation of Georgian restaurants that treat local sourcing as a structural commitment rather than a menu footnote. The kitchen draws on regional produce and traditional technique, positioning Sofiko alongside the city's more considered mid-to-upper dining tier. Address: 8 Dzmebi Zdanevichebi St.
14
Vienna, Austria

15
Washington DC, United States
Sofra
On Connecticut Avenue in Woodley Park, Sofra occupies a stretch of D.C. that favors neighborhood regulars over destination-diners. The room reads as an honest proposition: a dining experience shaped less by spectacle and more by the accumulated discipline of a team working in close quarters. For visitors accustomed to the tasting-menu circuit, it represents a different kind of commitment to craft.
16
Berlin, Germany
Sofra Grill
Sofra sits on Bellermannstraße in Berlin's Wedding district, a neighbourhood where Turkish and Arab diaspora communities have shaped the local food culture for decades.

New York City, United States
Sofrito
Sofrito sits at 679 Riverside Dr in upper Manhattan, occupying a stretch of the city where neighbourhood loyalty runs deep and dining rooms earn their regulars the slow way. The address places it outside the midtown fine-dining corridor where venues like Le Bernardin and Per Se set the price benchmarks, giving Sofrito a different kind of gravity — one built on return visits rather than first impressions.
19
Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Soft Bank
Soft Bank is a Hong Kong dining address that has built its reputation through repeat custom rather than spectacle. Little verified public data exists about its format, price point, or kitchen team, which places it in the category of venues that travel by word of mouth rather than by press release. Those who return regularly tend to do so for reasons that resist easy description.
20
Fort Lee, United States
Soft Tofu 소공동
Fort Lee's Koreatown corridor on Main Street runs deep with regional Korean cooking, and Soft Tofu 소공동 at 128 Main St anchors the sundubu-jjigae end of that spectrum. The restaurant draws from the Sogang-dong tradition of silken tofu stews, where the broth's heat level and protein additions define each bowl. It sits in a neighborhood that functions as among the more accessible Korean dining corridors within reach of Manhattan.

Sohaila
Sohaila occupies a Shoreditch High Street address at the junction where East London's creative density meets a growing wave of kitchens applying global technique to locally sourced British produce.

26
Santa Barbara, United States
Soho
Located on the second floor of State Street in the heart of Santa Barbara, Soho occupies a position that invites comparison with the city's broader dining scene rather than its nightlife strip.

Soho House West Hollywood
Choose Soho House West Hollywood when access is handled and the night needs more than dinner: rooftop garden, lounge energy, late service, and a polished members-only setting.

30
Las Vegas, United States
Soho Japanese Restaurant
Soho Japanese Restaurant occupies a suite address on the southwest side of Las Vegas, positioning itself within a corridor of neighborhood dining that runs well outside the Strip's gravitational pull. The kitchen operates in a city where Japanese cuisine ranges from conveyor-belt casual to omakase counters with month-long waitlists, placing Soho in a mid-register that serves a predominantly local clientele rather than tourist traffic.

33
Sint Gillis, Belgium

34
New York City, United States
Soju Haus

35
Breda, Netherlands
Sojubar Breda ì주
Sojubar Breda sits on Grote Markt 50, bringing a soju-focused bar format to one of the Netherlands' most active historic market squares.

36
Arlington, United States
Soko
Soko is a planned butcher shop and deli coming to Arlington, Massachusetts, joining a neighbourhood dining scene that rewards ingredient-led independents. For a town that already sustains neighbourhood staples across Vietnamese, pizza, and Cajun formats, a craft butcher-deli fills a clear gap. Watch this space as details on opening date and format emerge.

San Carlos, United States
Soko Soko Japanese Cuisine
Soko Soko Japanese Cuisine is a practical pick in Downtown San Carlos when the group wants modern Japanese sushi without committing to a formal tasting-menu night. Go for flexible ordering: omakase nigiri or sashimi, kaisen don, and a couple of signature rolls. It works better for relaxed dinners, business meals, and small celebrations than for diners chasing a heavily credentialed destination restaurant.
38
Leesburg, United States
Soko Sushi
In Leesburg's working-town core, Soko operates at the intersection of butcher shop craft and deli counter pragmatism, turning quality-sourced meat into cheesesteaks and sandwiches worth making the detour for.

39
Bolton, United Kingdom
Sokrates Greek Taverna

Sokrates Greek Taverna at 80-84 Winter Hey Lane brings the communal rhythms of a Greek table to a part of Greater Manchester that does not overload on Mediterranean options. A practical and direct choice for anyone after that particular format of eating.
40
Boston, United States
Sol Azteca

Its Beacon Street address puts it within reach of both students and the broader Back Bay crowd.
