Bedoin, France
On the lower slopes of Mont Ventoux, La Colombe holds a 2025 Michelin Plate for modern cuisine served at mid-range prices — an unusual combination in a village better known for cycling than gastronomy.

Hyères, France
On the Route de Toulon outside Hyères, La Colombe holds a Michelin Plate and a 2025 World's 50 Best ranking of #55 — an unusual combination for a restaurant operating in traditional cuisine rather than the avant-garde register that typically dominates that list.

Arma di Taggia, Italy
A Michelin Plate-recognised address on the Ligurian Riviera, La Conchiglia occupies a vaulted dining room steps from the sea in Arma di Taggia.

Milan, Italy
A Tuscan transplant on the corner of Via Lazzaro Papi and Corso Lodi, La Cucina de' Mibabbo brings the cooking traditions of Tuscany into a Milanese neighbourhood setting.

Monte Carlo, Monaco
La Dame at Silver Shadow in Monte Carlo occupies a distinct position among the principality's seasonal French tables, drawing its name and culinary allegiance from Paris's Eiffel Tower.

Orta San Giulio, Italy
A restored farmhouse on the hills above Lake Orta, La Darbia occupies a position where the agricultural origins of the Piedmontese table remain visible in both setting and approach.

Luxembourg, Luxembourg
Set within a historic castle complex in Bourglinster, roughly 20 kilometres east of Luxembourg City, La Distillerie earns 83.5 points on the 2025 La Liste ranking alongside a 4..

Cáceres, Spain
La Fabiola belongs to the newer Cáceres conversation around produce-led dining rather than monument-facing ceremony.

Guaynabo, Puerto Rico
La Faena sits along Carretera 834 in Guaynabo, one of Puerto Rico's most restaurant-dense suburban corridors, where locally sourced ingredients and island culinary tradition shape the menu.
