Spanish Flowers - Durham

Spanish Flowers on Durham Drive has anchored Houston's Heights-adjacent dining scene for decades, representing a generation of Tex-Mex that predates the city's current fine-dining boom.

On the edge of Old City, Spasso Italian Grill occupies one of Philadelphia's most historically charged blocks along the Delaware waterfront.

It is strongest when treated as a focused pizza stop.

Long Beach, United States

Wheeling, United States

Spears Bourbon Burgers Beer

Spears Bourbon Burgers Beer is worth booking for an easy Wheeling burger-and-drinks meal, especially lunch, groups, family dinners, and after-work plans.

Wheeling, United States

Stainach Purgg, Austria

Spechtenseehütte

A mountain refuge in the Tauplitz area of Styria's Salzkammergut region, Spechtenseehütte sits within one of Austria's less-trafficked alpine corridors, where the hut tradition of simple, grounded hospitality persists largely unchanged.

On Ámsterdam in Hipódromo Condesa, Specia occupies one of Mexico City's more architecturally considered dining rooms, where the physical space frames the meal as deliberately as the kitchen does.

Special Events at Sanctuary Camelback Mountain

Sanctuary Camelback Mountain's special events program positions private dining and curated gatherings against one of the American Southwest's most recognizable resort backdrops.

Paradise Valley, United States

Richmond, United States

Bertrange, Luxembourg

Specto

Specto sits along the Route d'Arlon corridor in Strassen, within the broader Bertrange dining cluster that has quietly become one of Luxembourg's more concentrated pockets of serious restaurant-going.

Bertrange, Luxembourg

North York, Canada

Speducci Mercatto

Speducci Mercatto on Milford Avenue brings a market-style Italian approach to North York's west end, where casual formats and wine-forward programming increasingly define neighbourhood dining.

Mars, United States

Speer's Steakhouse

Speers Steakhouse occupies a corner of Adams Shoppes in Mars, Pennsylvania, where the western suburbs of Pittsburgh give way to quieter exurban dining.

Speisis Burger Träff

Speisis Burger Träff occupies a quiet address on Alte Dorfstrasse in Wittnau, a small Aargau village where informal gathering spots carry more weight than their size suggests.

Wittnau, Switzerland

Anchorage, United States

Spenard Roadhouse

Spenard Roadhouse sits on West Northern Lights Boulevard in one of Anchorage's most characterful neighbourhoods, trading on the intersection of Alaskan ingredients and technically grounded cooking.

Anchorage, United States

Maastricht, Netherlands

Spencer's

Spencer's occupies a converted Gothic monastery in the heart of Maastricht's historic quarter, placing it among the city's most architecturally charged dining addresses.

For visitors planning a multi-night stay in the city, Spencer's belongs in the same planning conversation as the broader Maastricht fine-dining circuit.

Maastricht, Netherlands

San Jose, United States

Spencer's for Steaks and Chops

Spencer's for Steaks and Chops operates from within the DoubleTree Hotel near San Jose's airport corridor, positioning it squarely in the tradition of hotel steakhouses that serve both the business-dinner circuit and the pre-flight meal.

It occupies a distinct tier in San Jose's dining scene, where hotel dining and independent restaurants coexist with limited overlap.

San Jose, United States

Vienna, Austria

Sperling im Augarten

Sperling im Augarten occupies one of Vienna's most storied green settings, the Augarten park in the 2nd district, where centuries of imperial history meet a contemporary dining scene.

Vienna, Austria

Nashville, United States

Sperry's Belle Meade

Sperry's Belle Meade is a good booking for a classic Nashville steakhouse dinner around $60 per person, especially if calm service, easy parking, and an old-school room matter more than novelty. Go for à la carte steakhouse staples, seafood, the salad bar, and a slower special-occasion pace rather than a tasting-menu experience.

Nashville, United States

New York City, United States

Spes

Spes occupies a quietly considered address on East 12th Street in the East Village, placing it in a neighbourhood that has seen serious dining concepts take root alongside its longstanding residential character. With limited public-facing data and no awards trail to anchor expectations, it sits in the category of restaurants that reward direct investigation over advance reputation. An occasion meal here is a question worth asking.

New York City, United States

Poughkeepsie, United States

Spettro

Spettro occupies a quiet address on Lagrange Avenue in Poughkeepsie, a city whose dining scene has grown more deliberate in recent years.

In a mid-Hudson corridor better known for casual stops than considered dining, it carves out a distinct position.

Poughkeepsie, United States

Erlangen, Germany

Spezerei

Spezerei occupies a considered address on Wöhrstraße in Erlangen, sitting in a different tier from the city's casual daytime spots and seasonal bistros. Where venues like Holzgarten lean into rustic informality, Spezerei signals a more composed approach to space and service. For visitors arriving from Frankfurt or Nuremberg, it represents one of the more deliberate dining propositions in a city that rarely makes national shortlists.

Erlangen, Germany

Berlin, Germany

Sphere Tim Raue

Sphere Tim Raue brings Tim Raue's Asia-inflected cooking philosophy to one of Berlin's most architecturally dramatic settings, inside the TV Tower at Alexanderplatz.

Berlin, Germany

Paris, France

Sphère

Sphère occupies a considered address on Rue La Boétie in Paris's 8th arrondissement, positioning it within the same dense corridor of serious French dining that runs from the Champs-Élysées toward Saint-Lazare. Where many of its 8th-arrondissement peers operate behind grand hotel facades or double-fronted Haussmann rooms, Sphère's address suggests a more contained, architectural approach to the dining experience.

Paris, France

San Francisco, United States

Spiazzo

Spiazzo occupies a corner of West Portal, San Francisco's quietly residential dining corridor, where the neighborhood's appetite for Italian-leaning comfort sits alongside a growing interest in ingredient-led cooking. The address at 33 W Portal Ave places it outside the dense downtown dining circuit, giving it a tempo that differs from the city's more competitive central precincts. For visitors and locals working through San Francisco's broader restaurant map, it represents the neighborhood-anchor category of the city's dining scene.

Spice Affair

Spice Affair brings Indian cuisine to La Cienega Boulevard's restaurant row in Beverly Hills, where the kitchen's approach to spice and technique sits alongside some of Los Angeles County's most competitive dining.

Beverly Hills, United States

Newcastle, Australia

Spice Affairs Kapoor's Authentic Indian Restaurant

Indian restaurants in Australia's regional cities tend to cluster around a familiar northern formula, but Lambton's Spice Affairs Kapoor's sits slightly apart from that pattern. Located at 128 Elder St in Newcastle's inner-west, the kitchen signals an intent toward authentic subcontinent cooking rather than broadly calibrated curry-house defaults. For Newcastle diners tracking the city's expanding ethnic dining range, it occupies a distinct position.

Newcastle, Australia

Sydney, Australia

Spice Alley

Spice Alley on Kensington Street brings together a concentrated run of pan-Asian street food stalls in Chippendale, one of Sydney's most architecturally considered precincts. The format sits between a hawker centre and a curated food market, making it an accessible address for groups who want variety without committing to a single menu. Walk-ins are the norm, and the open-air setting suits occasions that call for informality over ceremony.

Sydney, Australia

Westfield, United States

Spice Bazaar

Spice Bazaar sits on Elm Street in Westfield, New Jersey, operating within a downtown dining corridor that has grown considerably more competitive over the past decade. Against neighbors focused on European and Japanese traditions, it represents the spice-forward end of the local spectrum.
