Delmy’s Pupusas
Ranked #62 on the LA Times 101 Best Restaurants 2024, Delmy's Pupusas is Ruth Sandoval's farmers market operation built around El Salvador's national dish.

Copenhagen, Denmark
Delphine
On Vesterbrogade in Copenhagen's Vesterbro district, Delphine occupies a stretch of the city where French-leaning cooking and neighbourhood bistro culture intersect. The daytime and evening services run at notably different registers, making the choice of when to visit as consequential as what to order. For travellers building a Copenhagen itinerary around the city's wider dining scene, Delphine offers a counterpoint to the tasting-menu intensity that defines the upper tier.

Kyoto, Japan
Demachi Futaba
Demachi Futaba belongs to Kyoto’s old-school wagashi circuit rather than its formal restaurant culture: takeaway only, low spend, and built around Japanese traditional sweets and daifuku. Its repeated selection for Tabelog 100 lists in the West region places it in a serious local category, where freshness, rice texture, bean paste, and same-day eating matter more than table service.

Lima, Peru
Demo
Demo is a Lima café entry that makes sense within the city’s broader daytime dining culture rather than as a trophy booking. With Juan Luis Martinez attached, the editorial interest lies in how a chef-led café can read against Peru’s ingredient-driven cooking without borrowing the language of a formal tasting-menu room.

Hoofddorp, Netherlands
Den Burgh
Set inside a historic farmhouse on the Rijnlanderweg, Den Burgh holds a Michelin Plate for 2024 and 2025 and delivers a farm-to-table menu grounded in local Dutch produce. At the €€ price point, it occupies a distinct position among Hoofddorp's dining options: ingredient-led cooking in a setting that earns its atmosphere rather than manufacturing it. Combinations like tuna with kimchi and salty vegetables signal a kitchen that thinks beyond simple rusticity.

Den Gouden Harynck

Skövde, Sweden
Den lilla krogen
Den lilla krogen on Rådhusgatan holds a White Star from Star Wine List, signalling a wine program that punches above what Skövde's modest dining scene typically delivers.

Worth planning around if you're passing through Västergötland.
14
Leuven, Belgium
Den Optimist
Den Optimist occupies a relaxed corner of Leuven's Vismarkt with a 100% plant-based menu that sits outside the fine-dining register entirely. Recognised by the We're Smart Green Guide for its approachable, ingredient-led cooking, it fits the city's character as a place where students, locals, and visitors share the same tables. Pair the food with a local Belgian beer and the format makes complete sense.
15
Klampenborg, Denmark
Den Røde Cottage
Den Røde Cottage sits along Strandvejen in Klampenborg, where Chef Simon Lerche works closely with local produce through pickling, drying, and preservation techniques rooted in the surrounding countryside. The kitchen draws comparisons to Denmark's nature-led dining tradition, with critics noting both its clear command of technique and an open question about how far that vegetable-forward ambition will stretch in future menus.

Barcelona, Spain
Denassus
On Carrer de Blai, the street that defines Sants-Montjuïc's pintxos culture, Denassus occupies a position worth tracking in Barcelona's broader neighbourhood dining conversation. With Blai's characteristic mix of casual energy and genuine local traffic, it sits in a tier of bars and restaurants that locals return to on weekday evenings rather than special occasions. A practical address for those exploring the city's less-toured southern flank.

Deo Gracias
Deo Gracias holds a Michelin Plate recognition for 2026, placing it within a small tier of formally acknowledged restaurants in Metro Manila's Quezon City dining scene.

Auckland, New Zealand
Depot
Depot on Federal Street is Auckland's most enduring argument for the shared-plate format done without pretension.

24
Passail, Austria
Der Schrenk
A long-established inn in the centre of Passail, Der Schrenk balances old-style tavern charm with seasonal, ingredient-led cooking.

25
Sankt Jakob am Thurn, Austria
Der Schützenwirt
A short drive south of Salzburg, Der Schützenwirt operates on a supply chain built from 25 regional producers, translating Austrian seasonal cooking through a daily blackboard that shifts with what arrives. Opened in 2020 by Andrea and Robert Rübsam after years at high-end establishments, the restaurant draws as much attention for its garden as for its kitchen. Relaxed in format, serious about sourcing.
26
Vaterstetten, Germany
Der Wolfsbarsch
Der Wolfsbarsch sits in Vaterstetten, a residential municipality southeast of Munich, and holds a White Star recognition from Star Wine List — a signal of a wine program taken seriously in a town where that kind of commitment is not the default.

Milan, Italy
Derby Grill
Set opposite the Villa Reale in Monza, Derby Grill operates from within the Hotel de la Ville with a quietly formal Anglo-Italian character that reads differently from Milan's city-centre contemporary scene. Two tasting menus anchor the kitchen's identity: one rooted in Campanian tradition, one in Lombard territory. Michelin Plate recognition in both 2024 and 2025 confirms consistent technical delivery. Bookings are recommended, particularly for veranda seating.

One of the few dedicated Georgian restaurants in Prague, Dergi Praha occupies a spacious room near the Vltava in Staré Město, where live music, traditional décor, and khinkali dumplings in multiple fillings draw a crowd that extends well beyond the city's Georgian diaspora.

A converted 19th-century dyehouse in Thongsbridge delivers regional Italian cooking with genuine depth — antipasti built on prosciutto and burrata, cicchetti worth ordering liberally, and an all-Italian wine list. Chef Olivia Robinson brings training from the Marche region to the West Yorkshire valleys, and the combination of iron beams, stone floors and a lofted roof gives the room more architectural character than most rural restaurants in the county.

Inside Dhabkwan Resort in Nonthaburi, a teak house restaurant opens onto lotus ponds and formal gardens to serve a traditional Thai menu that reaches well beyond the tourist circuit.

Di Bari Pizza reads São Paulo pizza through local structure rather than strict Naples imitation: a slightly firmer paulista dough, a concise menu, and toppings that move between Margherita classicism and Brazilian-accented combinations.

Diavolo Rosso
In questo angolo dell’Ecuador troverete Diavolo Rosso. Locale molto curato nei dettagli, tanta passione per la pizza, quella contemporanea con il cornicione leggermente pronunciato. Nel menu troverete qualche entrata e qualche insalata, tra speck e noci e l’immancabile burrata con pomodorini disidratati, tra quelli freddi, tra gli antipasti caldi, sono di ottima fattura gli arancini con ragù e i crocchè, come tradizione vuole. Le pizze sono divise tra base bianca e base rossa, oltre al calzone e la novità del calzone aperto. Da provare La Napoli con salsa di pomodoro, mozzarella, ricotta, salame, e Grana Padano. Vi consigliamo di provare assolutamente il calzone, ovvero un ripieno non sempre facile da trovare fuori dalla città partenopea, con pesto, fior di latte, pomodoro, speck e Grana Padano. Tra i dolci il classico tiramisù ci sembra la proposta migliore. Di pregio la proposta del bere, soprattutto per i cocktail, che spaziano dai classici ai più fantasiosi, ad un’ intera proposta dedicata ai negroni. Servizio premuroso e conto nella media cittadina. In this corner of Ecuador you will find Diavolo Rosso. A well-kept establishment with a lot of passion for pizza, contemporary with a slightly pronounced crust. In the menu you will find some appetizers and salads, including speck and walnut and the inevitable burrata with sun-dried tomatoes, among the cold dishes, among the hot appetizers, the arancini with ragu and croquettes are of excellent quality, as tradition dictates. The pizzas are divided between white base and red base, in addition to the calzone and the novelty of the open calzone. A priority-try is La Napoli with tomato sauce, mozzarella, ricotta, salami, and Grana Padano. We highly recommend trying the calzone, a filling not always easy to find outside the city of Naples, with pesto, fior di latte, tomato, speck, and Grana Padano. Among the desserts, the classic tiramisu seems to be a useful option. The drink offering is of high quality, especially for cocktails, ranging from classics to more imaginative ones, with a whole section dedicated to negronis. Attentive service and average city prices.

At the single-yuan price tier, it represents the category of Shanghai street-level cooking that Michelin inspectors have increasingly chosen to document alongside the city's fine-dining tier.

Shanghai, China
Ding Te Le Zhou Mian Guan
Ding Te Le Zhou Mian Guan sits in the Middle Huaihai Road orbit, where Shanghai’s everyday noodle-and-porridge culture is read through speed, repetition, and a tight menu rather than ceremony. The appeal is not luxury theatre; it is the city’s compact grammar of bowls, staple dishes, and neighborhood dining habits in one of Huangpu’s busiest commercial corridors.

Dingles Public House
Dingles Public House occupies 333 Fulton Street in San Francisco's Hayes Valley, a neighbourhood that has become one of the city's more interesting intersections of residential life and serious hospitality. As a public house format in a city better known for its Michelin-chased tasting menus, Dingles offers a different kind of occasion dining: the kind anchored in company and atmosphere rather than ceremony.

Taipei, Taiwan
DiVino
DiVino sits on a quiet lane in Taipei's Da'an District, where the city's European-leaning wine bar scene finds one of its more considered addresses. The setting trades the noise of Xinyi's restaurant corridor for residential calm, positioning it within a tier of Taipei venues where the bottle list carries as much editorial weight as the food program. Worth understanding before you book.
