Taichung, Taiwan
Hello VietNam in Taichung's Central District holds a 2024 Michelin Plate, placing it among a select group of Vietnamese kitchens in Taiwan recognised by the Guide. It represents the accessible, high-confidence tier of Taichung's internationally diverse dining scene.
Philadelphia, United States
Helm brings serious Filipino cooking to Philadelphia's Norris Square neighborhood, where chef Josh Boutwood has earned back-to-back rankings on the Opinionated About Dining Top Restaurants in Asia list — ranked #157 in 2025 and #184 in 2024. Open Wednesday through Saturday evenings, the restaurant occupies a distinct tier in the city's dining conversation, placing Filipino cuisine alongside Philadelphia's broader ambitious tasting-menu scene.
Sankt Gallen, Switzerland
Helvetia holds a Michelin Plate in both 2024 and 2025, placing it among Sankt Gallen's recognised contemporary dining addresses. Located on Vonwilstrasse in the city's residential fringe, it draws a 4.. The contemporary format sits at the €€€ price tier, sharing that bracket with several of the city's more serious kitchens.
Warwick, United Kingdom
Hem occupies a compact space on Warwick's Market Place, where two long-standing friends serve modern British cooking that draws from classical roots without theatrical excess. Holders of the Michelin Plate in both 2024 and 2025, the kitchen builds dishes around considered sourcing and confident execution. The wine flights are worth factoring into your booking.
Luleå, Sweden
In a city where the Arctic light shapes everything from the fishing season to the dinner hour, Hemmagastronomi on Norra Strandgatan occupies a specific position in Luleå's serious dining tier. The name translates loosely as 'home gastronomy,' signalling an approach rooted in domestic scale and northern ingredient logic rather than international spectacle. For a region where provenance is dictated by latitude, that framing carries genuine editorial weight.
Johns Creek, United States
Hen Mother Cookhouse holds back-to-back Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 and 2025, placing it among a small tier of suburban Atlanta restaurants earning independent guide validation. The menu sits in the American comfort tradition, with a price point that makes Michelin-acknowledged cooking accessible without a reservation arms race. It is one of the more direct cases for a Johns Creek dinner.
Waterbury, United States
Hen of the Wood in Waterbury, Vermont delivers farm-driven regional American cooking that has earned consecutive Opinionated About Dining recognition from 2023 through 2025. Under chef Eric Warnstedt, the kitchen operates as a serious seasonal program in a state where local sourcing is infrastructure, not marketing. The result is a counter-argument to the idea that destination-level dining requires a major city.
Vught, Netherlands
Holder of consecutive Michelin Plates in 2024 and 2025, Hendrik van Maurick brings creative French cooking to a historic address in Vught at the €€€ price tier. The kitchen works within a tradition of technique-led French cuisine adapted for a Dutch regional context, placing it in a competitive set well above casual dining but below the multi-star brackets that dominate national rankings.
Tokyo, Japan
Hendrix curry sits in Jingumae’s curry-and-bar lane rather than Tokyo’s tasting-menu economy, with Tabelog Curry TOKYO 100 selection in 2024 and a 3.77 score giving it clear local credibility. The appeal is logistical as much as culinary: compact seating, reservations available, cash-only payment, and a Sunday closure make planning matter even at a casual price tier.
Singapore, Singapore
Few stalls in Singapore's hawker canon occupy the same tier as Heng Gi Goose and Duck Rice at Tekka Centre, where a Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 confirms what regulars in the Little India corridor have long known. The kitchen anchors the braised poultry tradition — slow-cooked goose and duck served over rice — in a format that prioritises substance over spectacle, at prices that remain firmly in the single-dollar bracket.
Surat Thani, Thailand
A Michelin Plate recipient for 2024 and 2025, Heng Khao Moo Daeng on Namueang Road is one of Surat Thani's most recognised Thai-Chinese lunch spots. The kitchen's barbeque pork, crispy pork, and sweet sausage plate — priced around 40 baht for a large portion — draws queues for dine-in and takeout well before the midday rush. At this price point, few addresses in the city carry comparable Michelin recognition.
Singapore, Singapore
Heng Long BBQ Chicken Rice operates from a second-floor hawker stall at Mei Chin Road, holding a Michelin Plate recognition in 2024. The address places it inside the Queenstown hawker circuit, where chicken rice is measured against decades of established form. At single-dollar price points, it represents the tier of Singaporean street food that the Michelin programme was designed to acknowledge.
Kyoto, Japan
Henkotsu sits in Kyoto’s izakaya tradition rather than its kaiseki mythology: counter seating, beef dishes, oden, sake and shochu, and a Tabelog 100 Izakaya WEST selection in 2024 and 2025. The appeal is the city’s after-work register, where local ingredients meet tavern technique without the ceremony attached to Kyoto dining.
London, United Kingdom
Henri sits on the ground floor of the Henrietta Experimental hotel in Covent Garden, where Jackson Boxer runs a French bistro that takes Parisian form seriously without being reverential about it. Cannelés arrive filled with seaweed and sour cream. Snails come skewered alongside risotto cooked in veal stock. Wine by the glass starts at £7, making this one of the more accessible addresses in the neighbourhood for serious French cooking.
Viareggio, Italy
A Michelin Plate-recognised address on Viale Ugo Foscolo, Henri Restaurant positions itself in Viareggio's upper dining tier through a menu that moves between Italian tradition and French-inflected contemporary cooking, divided across meat and fish. The wine cellar runs from Sassicaia to Petrus, and an open kitchen faces outdoor seating. At €€€€, it competes directly with the city's most serious tables.
Nashville, United States
Henrietta Red occupies a precise position in Nashville's restaurant scene: a Regional American kitchen with a seafood-forward focus, recognized by Opinionated About Dining in 2025 and drawing a 4.,100 reviews. Chef Julia Sullivan operates Tuesday through Sunday from a space in Germantown that reads more like a serious dining destination than a neighborhood fixture.
Cambridge, United States
Henrietta's Table, inside The Charles Hotel on Bennett Street, sits in the tier of Cambridge, Massachusetts restaurants where farm-sourced American cooking meets genuine civic purpose.
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
A Michelin Plate-recognised tasca in Leblon, Henriqueta brings the spare, ingredient-driven logic of Portuguese tavern cooking to Rio de Janeiro's most polished neighbourhood. The glass-fronted dining room, open kitchen, and azulejo-tiled walls set the scene for shareable dishes — biffanas, octopus a lagareiro, toucinho do céu — that owe more to Lisbon's back-street tradition than to any contemporary reinvention. At the $$ price tier, it occupies a distinct position among Rio's Michelin-recognised restaurants.
Llandderfel, United Kingdom
Henry Robertson occupies the dining room of a Victorian estate hotel in the Dee Valley, earning consecutive Michelin Plates in 2024 and 2025 for seasonally minded Modern British cooking that draws on the estate's own kitchen garden and surrounding Welsh countryside. The à la carte reaches further than the lunch menu, and the wine list gives thoughtful space to English and Welsh producers — a rarity at this price point.
New York City, United States
Her Name is Han has climbed the Opinionated About Dining Casual North America rankings three consecutive years, reaching #155 in 2025, making it one of the more quietly consistent Korean addresses in Koreatown. The restaurant operates tight lunch and dinner windows daily from its East 31st Street address, with a 4.,500 reviews signaling broad and sustained appeal among regulars and first-timers alike.
San Diego, United States
Herb & Wood holds a 2025 Michelin Plate and an Opinionated About Dining ranking among North America's notable casual restaurants, placing it firmly in San Diego's mid-to-upper Californian dining tier.
Ubud, Indonesia
Herbivore by Locavore on Jl. Dewisita brings Filipino cuisine to Ubud under chef Kel Zaguire, earning an Opinionated About Dining Top Restaurants in Asia ranking (#255, 2024) and a Highly Recommended citation the year prior. The menu draws on local Balinese sourcing filtered through Filipino culinary logic, placing it at an unusual crossroads in a town better known for French and Indonesian fine dining.
Miami, United States
Hereford Grill sits in Miami's western corridor at 782 NW 42nd Ave, a neighborhood where the dining scene rewards those willing to look past the waterfront. Miami's grill tradition runs from Argentine-inflected open fire to Korean steakhouse formats, and Hereford positions itself within that broader conversation around live-fire cooking and beef-centric menus. Treat this as a starting point for your research before visiting.
Vancouver, Canada
Heritage Asian Eatery on West Pender Street sits within Vancouver's downtown dining corridor, drawing from the city's deep bench of Asian culinary tradition to deliver accessible, considered cooking. The kitchen works across regional Asian references with the kind of directness that suits a weekday lunch or a low-key celebration equally well. It occupies a tier of the Vancouver scene where comfort and craft share the same table.
London, United Kingdom
A Michelin Plate-recognised Indian restaurant on a quiet Dulwich parade, Heritage brings together two generations of serious kitchen experience in a setting that reads as considered rather than casual. Dishes are precisely spiced and grounded in authentic regional technique, placing it well above the neighbourhood-restaurant category.
See, Austria
At Bergwiesenglück in See, Hermann's Jagdstube operates on a strict pre-order model: eight courses built entirely from game hunted by the chef himself. With just four tables and a floor-to-ceiling mountain panorama, the format sits at the intersection of Alpine hunting tradition and considered fine dining. Unusual cuts — chamois brain, black grouse liver, deer tongue — define a menu unavailable anywhere else in the region on these terms.
Bad Sobernheim, Germany
Hermannshof brings Mediterranean cooking to Bad Sobernheim's quiet Nahe Valley wine country, earning consecutive Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 and 2025 at the mid-range price tier. The kitchen leans on the olive oil-forward traditions of southern European cooking, offering a distinct counterpoint to the region's German-rustic default.
Buenos Aires, Argentina
In San Isidro, north of the Buenos Aires city limits, Hermanos brings the Petersen brothers' collective weight to a parrilla format that takes Argentine fire cooking seriously as a technical discipline. Wet-aged beef, open-flame precision, and a vegetable program given equal standing in the kitchen position this as one of the more considered entries in the greater BA parrilla scene.
Madrid, Spain
A Retiro neighbourhood wine bar that earns its Opinionated About Dining Casual in Europe recognition through serious list-curation and a pacing model closer to slow afternoon ritual than rushed service. Hermanos Vinaigre, led by Enrique Valentí, sits within Madrid's growing generation of counter-culture wine bars where the glass is the menu and the room does the rest.
Kitasaku-gun, Japan
Hermitage de Tamura places French cooking inside Karuizawa’s resort-dining culture, where mountain-town seasonality matters as much as technique. Its Tabelog French EAST 100 selection in 2025 and wine-focused service put it in the serious dining tier of Kitasaku-gun, while the house-restaurant setting keeps the experience closer to a country retreat than an urban grand restaurant.
Nashville, United States
One of Nashville's most architecturally significant addresses, the Hermitage Hotel has anchored the corner of 6th Avenue North since 1910. Holding a 3-Star Accreditation from the World of Fine Wine & Leaders Awards, it represents the city's longest-running example of grand-hotel hospitality — a reference point against which newer luxury entrants are still measured.
Los Angeles, United States
Located on Monterey Road in the Highland Park-adjacent neighborhood of Hermon, this Los Angeles address draws a loyal local following that returns with the kind of frequency reserved for places that have settled quietly into a community's weekly rhythm. What keeps them coming back is harder to define than a single dish or a critic's star — it lives in the accumulated ease of a room that knows its regulars.
Chicago, United States
On the Northwest Side's Hermosa neighborhood, this Cambodian lunch counter from chef Ethan Lim has climbed Opinionated About Dining's Casual North America rankings two years running, moving from #742 in 2024 to #592 in 2025. Operating Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 5 pm only, it occupies a specific niche in Chicago's dining scene where Southeast Asian cooking rarely gets this kind of critical attention.
Leeds, United Kingdom
A suburban Leeds address with minimal signage and no website, Hern fills most nights on the strength of its cooking alone. Cordon Bleu-trained chef Rab Adams, with fine dining experience under Gordon Ramsay and Josh Overington, runs a short carte on Wednesdays and a four-course set menu Thursday to Saturday, using local and seasonal ingredients at prices that make the quality-to-cost ratio the main event.
New York City, United States
A Michelin Plate recipient on West Broadway in SoHo, Heroes operates within New York's contemporary dining tier where technique and composition carry more weight than ceremony. Priced at $$$, it offers a credible entry point into the neighbourhood's serious restaurant scene without the full formality of the city's multi-star counters.
Schilde, Belgium
Hertebos sits along the Oelegemsteenweg in Wommelgem, on the rural fringe between Schilde and the Antwerp agglomeration. The address places it within a dining corridor where several serious kitchens have established a collective identity distinct from the city's more publicised restaurant scene. Concrete details on format, price, and cuisine type are limited, but the venue's presence in this particular stretch of Flemish Brabant is itself a starting point.
Ennetbaden, Switzerland
Perched above Ennetbaden with a panoramic outlook over the Limmat valley, Hertenstein Panorama-Restaurant earned a White Star recognition from Star Wine List in December 2021, signalling a wine program that punches above the town's modest profile. The setting positions it as a destination for the wider Baden agglomeration, drawing visitors who pair the refined vantage point with serious bottle choices in a region where Switzerland's wine culture rarely gets adequate attention.
Goes, Netherlands
Het Binnenhof brings Modern French cooking to the heart of Goes, holding a Michelin Plate in both 2024 and 2025. For Zeeland visitors seeking classical technique with contemporary sensibility, this is a reliable address.
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Het Bosch holds consecutive Michelin Plate recognition (2024 and 2025) for its Modern French kitchen in Amsterdam's Bos en Lommer area. Priced at the €€ tier, it occupies a relatively rare position in the city's dining scene: French technique without the €€€€ price point of Amsterdam's starred French rooms.
The Hague, Netherlands
Het Gouden Kalf sits on Dr. Lelykade in The Hague's Scheveningen harbour district, earning a White Star recognition from Star Wine List in 2023 — a signal of a wine program taken seriously. The address places it within reach of the North Sea waterfront, and the recognition suggests a list built with genuine editorial intent rather than volume alone.
Rhenen, Netherlands
Het Oude Gemeentehuis holds a Michelin Plate for 2024 and 2025, placing it among the recognised modern French addresses in the Gelderse Vallei region. Set on Herenstraat in the small riverside town of Rhenen, it occupies a building whose civic past gives the dining room a sense of institutional weight. With a 4., it draws consistent praise within its €€ price tier.
Katwijk aan Zee, Netherlands
A former dune-forest pancake institution in Katwijk aan Zee, Het Panbos is mid-transition under new ownership, guided by Dutch culinary figure Robert Kranenborg. The menu now reaches beyond its traditional roots toward seasonal Dutch ingredients with Asian inflections, placing a kimchi pancake alongside skrei with samphire mousse and hare stew with parsnip. The forest setting remains; the cooking ambitions have shifted considerably.
Leuvenum Ermelo, Netherlands
Het Poolhouse brings a summer bistro format to a Veluwe estate setting in Leuvenum Ermelo, with the heated outdoor pool shaping the tempo as much as the kitchen. The draw is not formal destination dining, but a seasonal register of lobster, oysters, antipasti, club sandwiches, smoothies and champagne under chef Dennis van den Beld.
Nijkerk, Netherlands
Het Sluishuys sits beside an old lock on the Nijkerk waterfront, earning a 2024 Michelin Plate for a kitchen that treats classical French technique as the natural language of Dutch farm produce. Chef Erik Hendriksen anchors the menu around benchmark preparations: hand-cut steak tartare, turbot à la meunière, and oxtail ravioli. Price sits at €€€.
Marke, Belgium
Het Vliegend Tapijt in Marke sits at an interesting moment in West Flemish gastronomy: a restaurant with seasonal, locally sourced foundations now exploring a fully plant-based menu option. Nel Desmet and Chef Felix François are among the names drawing attention in Kortrijk's dining orbit for taking the region's ingredient-led tradition in a more forward-looking direction.
Geertruidenberg, Netherlands
Het Weeshuys holds a Michelin Plate for 2024 and 2025, placing it among the recognised tables in the Dutch province of Noord-Brabant. Situated on the historic Markt in Geertruidenberg, the restaurant works within a country-cooking register, drawing on regional produce and unhurried technique.
Yokohama, Japan
A nine-seat counter in Yokohama’s Fukutomicho area, Hetchikan Fukutomichou honten belongs to the city’s serious ramen-and-sake tier rather than the quick-bowl mainstream. Its repeated Tabelog 100 ramen selections from 2019 through 2025, counter-only format, and sake-bar identity make it a focused stop for diners interested in how ramen overlaps with ingredient-driven drinking culture in Kanagawa.
Zürich, Switzerland
Heugümper holds consecutive Michelin Plate recognition (2024 and 2025) and a 4., placing it among the more consistent modern cuisine addresses in Zurich's Altstadt. The restaurant occupies Waaggasse 4, a short walk from the Rathausbrücke in the heart of the old city, where a tight concentration of serious kitchens competes for a well-travelled, local-loyal clientele.
Essaouira, Morocco
A Relais & Châteaux property occupying a riad-style palace within Essaouira's UNESCO-listed medina, Heure Bleue Palais anchors Moroccan coastal hospitality at one of the Atlantic coast's most characterful addresses. Under chef Ahmed Handour, the kitchen works within a tradition of slow-cooked, spice-layered Moroccan cuisine. With a 4., it sits at the upper tier of Essaouira's dining scene.
Madrid, Spain
On Calle de Serrano in Madrid's Salamanca district, Hevia occupies the kind of address where the neighbourhood does half the work. The dining room draws a loyalist crowd from one of the city's most concentrated pockets of old-money taste, placing it firmly in the tradition of Madrid's classic restaurant culture rather than its avant-garde circuit.
New York City, United States
Hey Yuet occupies a specific corner of New York's Chinese dining scene, operating from Chelsea's 251 W 26th St with a format that rewards advance planning. The address places it in a neighbourhood better known for art galleries than serious Chinese cooking, which is part of what makes the reservation worth pursuing. Details on menu structure and pricing remain close-held, keeping expectations honest and curiosity high.
Boston, United States
On Brighton Avenue in Allston, Hey! I Am Yogost sits within Boston's densest corridor of Asian specialty drinks and street-food formats. The shop's focus is yogurt-based drinks topped with mochi, alongside a boba menu that tracks the format's ongoing evolution in American college-adjacent neighborhoods. For visitors tracing the city's wider casual dining scene, it offers a low-commitment, high-specificity stop.
Kumamoto, Japan
Hi no Kuni Bunryu Souhonten puts Kumamoto ramen in a low-cost, high-conviction frame: counter seating, no reservations, and repeat Tabelog Ramen WEST 100 selection in 2024 and 2025. The draw is not polish for its own sake, but a local ramen culture where pork, garlic, and regional appetite carry more authority than luxury signals.
New York City, United States
Hi-Collar occupies a specific and underserved niche on the East Village dining map: a Japanese café format that moves between daytime kissaten service and evening bar programming. Ranked on Opinionated About Dining's Cheap Eats list in both 2024 and 2025, it draws a crowd that understands the tradition behind the format, not just the aesthetic.
Cambridge, United States
Ranked on Opinionated About Dining's Cheap Eats list for consecutive years, Hi Rise at 208 Concord Ave occupies a specific tier in Cambridge's food culture: the neighbourhood bakery that earns critical notice without chasing it. Open seven days a week from 8am, it draws a consistent local crowd to a stretch of Cambridge that runs quieter than Harvard Square.
Yokohama, Japan
Hi, How Are You places Yokohama’s curry culture in a small-room, low-friction register: counter seating, take-out, no smoking, and a Tabelog Curry EAST 100 selection in 2024. The draw is not ceremony but concentration, the kind of compact Hiyoshi address that makes sense for solo dining, a quick meal with friends, or a curry stop folded into a wider Yokohama food day.
Montréal, Canada
Occupying the 46th floor of Place Ville-Marie, Hiatus is Montreal's most altitude-conscious bar and restaurant, wrapped entirely in glass with unobstructed views over the St. Lawrence and the city grid below. The format pairs that rare elevation with food and drink service, positioning it in a category where the room does significant editorial work alongside the kitchen. Reserve ahead, particularly for sunset sittings.
Tel Aviv, Israel
Hiba, on Menachem Begin Road in Tel Aviv, is the restaurant associated with chef Yossi Shitrit, a name that carries significant weight in Israeli fine dining. Positioned within Tel Aviv's competitive upper tier, Hiba draws on Shitrit's established critical reputation to anchor its place in the city's serious dining conversation. Advance planning is advisable for anyone intending to visit.
Saitama, Japan
Hibi Shushu brings Saitama’s tachinomi culture into sharper focus: compact, counter-led, drink-forward, and built for fish-led snacks with sake and shochu. Its selection for Tabelog 100 Tachinomi 2025 gives the room a measurable signal in a category that is usually judged by regulars, pace, and value rather than ceremony.
Taichung, Taiwan
A Michelin Plate-recognised seafood restaurant in Taichung's Xitun District, Hibiki Seafood draws a loyal local following and holds a 4.,400 reviews. It sits in the middle tier of Taichung's formal dining scene, priced comparably to other award-recognised tables in the city. For seafood-focused dining outside Taipei, it represents one of the more credentialled options in central Taiwan.
Tokyo, Japan
Hibinoryori Viola in Minami Azabu holds a Michelin Plate recognition (2024 and 2025) for home-style Japanese cooking grounded in kaiseki discipline. A mother-daughter team runs the kitchen, drawing seasonal soup stock with care and serving generously portioned vegetable dishes alongside freshly cooked rice. The ¥¥¥ pricing places it in the mid-to-upper residential dining tier, distinct from the grand-format kaiseki counters nearby.
London, United Kingdom
Hibiscus placed twice in the World's 50 Best Restaurants list (2010 and 2011) and represents a strand of British fine dining that briefly rivalled London's dominant French-influenced tier. Now operating from a heritage setting at Delapre Abbey in Northampton, it occupies an interesting position: a decorated name with national competition credentials, set away from the capital's dense restaurant cluster. Rated 4.6 on Google across 83 reviews.
Évora, Portugal
A Michelin Plate-recognised address on Rua de Serpa Pinto, Hibrido runs five tables and a menu built around seasonal produce from small-scale Alentejo producers. The €€ price point sits well below Portugal's starred tier, but the approach — experimental recipes, strict sustainability focus, and a kitchen that changes with the harvest — belongs to the same conversation.
Tokyo, Japan
Hicho Kurata brings Tokyo’s high-precision chicken dining into a compact Kanda counter format, where yakitori, chicken cuisine, and an innovative course structure sit closer to occasion dining than casual after-work skewers. Its inclusion in the Tabelog 100 for Chicken cuisine in 2025 gives it a clear signal within a competitive category, while the small counter format keeps the experience intimate and deliberate.
Aspen, United States
A long-standing fixture on West Main Street, Hickory House sits in the casual-to-mid register of Aspen's dining spectrum, offering a counterpoint to the resort town's fine-dining concentration. The address at 730 W Main St places it within easy reach of the mountain corridor. For visitors looking beyond tasting menus and expense-account counters, it represents a practical anchor in a city that often prices out its own middle ground.
Gifu, Japan
Gifu’s beef culture is the point here: Hida beef moves from regional ingredient to full steakhouse subject, with grill, beef dishes, and meat courses carrying the meal. Hida Gyu Grill Bakuro has Tabelog 100 Steak / Teppanyaki EAST recognition for 2025, plus prior selections in 2024 and 2022, placing it in a serious regional category rather than a casual tourist stop.
Gifu, Japan
Gifu’s beef culture is inseparable from Hida-gyu, and this Kandamachi address treats the ingredient through yakiniku, sukiyaki and shabu shabu rather than a single-course format. Selection for Tabelog 100 Yakiniku EAST 2025 gives it a clear trust signal in a city where cattle provenance matters as much as technique.
Takayama, Japan
Hida Takayama Kakusho gives Takayama’s Japanese dining scene a formal, ingredient-led address rather than another casual stop built around Hida beef alone. Its 2025 selection for Tabelog 100 Japanese Cuisine East, reservation-only format, organic category, private rooms, and 80-seat scale place it in the city’s more serious regional-cuisine tier.
Postal, Italy
Hidalgo in Postal, South Tyrol, has built a consistent reputation around serious carnivore cooking: global beef sourcing, open-fire grilling, and a dedicated Wagyu room called Aomi that runs its own Japanese-style menu from antipasti through to main courses.
San Diego, United States
Hidden Fish has earned back-to-back Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 and 2025, placing it among San Diego's most consistent Japanese restaurants outside the city's headline omakase tier. Located on Convoy Street in the heart of the city's Japanese dining corridor, it sits at the $$$ price point and holds a 4..
Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Hidden Kitchen brings kushiage to Causeway Bay in a form rarely encountered outside Japan. Operating from a third-floor flat on Jardine's Bazaar, the restaurant earned Opinionated About Dining's Highly Recommended recognition in 2023 — placing it in a small peer group of specialist Japanese formats that have taken root in Hong Kong's dense dining scene.
Chengdu, China
Hidden Place occupies a secluded corner of a Wuhou District hotel, operating at the quieter, more considered end of Chengdu's mid-tier Sichuan dining scene. The kitchen focuses on ancient Sichuan recipes executed with precise technique, drawing ingredients from outside the region where the dish demands it.
Rijeka, Croatia
A Michelin Plate-recognised farm-to-table bistro on Ulica Andrije Medulića in Rijeka's city centre, Hidden Wine Bistro earns a 4.. The kitchen works within a produce-driven framework that connects Kvarner's agricultural and coastal supply chain to the plate — a format that positions it as one of Rijeka's more editorially considered mid-range options.
Ascona, Switzerland
Hide & Seek holds a 2025 Michelin Plate at Via del Segnale 10 in Ascona, positioning it within the town's mid-to-upper international dining tier. With a 4., it sits a price point below Ascona's starred Mediterranean and Swiss Italian tables, offering international cuisine in a town better known for Italian-leaning lakeside dining.
St. Moritz, Switzerland
Hide & Seek holds a Michelin Plate for 2024 and 2025, marking it as one of the few Mediterranean-focused addresses in the Engadin valley. Positioned at the €€€ tier in Champfèr, just outside central St. Moritz, it offers a lighter, herb-driven alternative to the heavier Alpine and Italian formats that dominate the resort's dining scene. A 4..
Zug, Switzerland
Jazz kissa culture, born in postwar Japan, found an unlikely home on Bahnhofstrasse in Zug. Hidén Harlekin occupies the quieter, more considered end of the city's after-dark options: a listening bar format where the music is the menu. For a canton better known for financial institutions than subcultures, it registers as a genuine anomaly.
McMinnville, United States
HiFi Wine Bar on McMinnville's NE 3rd Street occupies the quieter, more considered end of Oregon wine country's bar scene. A 2026 Star Wine List award signals a program with genuine depth, placing it among the Willamette Valley's more credible pours. For visitors moving between tasting rooms and dinner tables, it offers a logical and well-curated stop.
Kasuga, Japan
Kasuga’s Indian Spice Factory gives Fukuoka’s suburban dining map a sharper regional accent: East Indian, Kolkata and Bengali cooking built around vegetables, fish and dietary flexibility rather than generic curry-house shorthand. Its Tabelog 100 Asian and Ethnic Cuisine WEST selection in 2023 and 2024 places a compact 18-seat room in a serious regional conversation.
Tokyo, Japan
Higashi Shinjuku Sanrasa sits in Tokyo’s serious curry conversation rather than the city’s luxury dining lane. Its Tabelog Curry TOKYO 100 selection in 2023 and 2024, compact counter format, and low lunch price bracket place it among the small-format specialists where sourcing, spice discipline, and daily limits matter more than spectacle.
