Hangzhou, China
La Lune sits in Hangzhou’s Mixc complex, where polished mall dining meets the city’s appetite for refined, destination-level rooms.

Barcelona, Spain
La Madurada sits in Horta-Guinardó, one of Barcelona's least-touristed residential districts, operating in a register that the city's central dining scene rarely attempts.

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
La Mar i La Rosa sits inside BlueMall on Punta Cana's tourist corridor, occupying a different register from the all-inclusive dining that defines most of the region's restaurant scene.

For visitors looking beyond resort dining, it represents one of the corridor's more considered options.
Madrid, Spain
La Mar Madrid by Gastón Acurio brings the acclaimed Lima-rooted La Mar concept to the Spanish capital, positioning itself near the Santiago Bernabéu as the group's European beachhead.

Vevey, Switzerland
La Marina is Vevey’s summer-facing lakefront address for outdoor drinks and seasonal cooking, framed by the port, garden seating and the mountain line across Lake Geneva.

Mataro, Spain
La Marineta on Carrer de Cuba brings market-fresh Catalan seafood to Mataró with a kitchen that draws serious attention for its treatment of fish, crustaceans, and shellfish alongside vegetable dishes strong enough to reorder the priorities of any confirmed meat eater.

Cádiz, Spain
La Marmita de Ancha holds consecutive Michelin Plate recognition (2024 and 2025) on one of Cádiz's most walkable central streets, serving mid-price Andalusian cooking that reads as a working record of the region's larder rather than a tourist summary of it.

Pietrasanta, Italy
Housed in a converted mill on the edge of Pietrasanta, La Martinatica has held the Michelin Plate in both 2024 and 2025 for cooking that puts raw and cured seafood at its centre.

The room is informal but considered, with a multi-purpose bar and contemporary dining spaces that suit both quick lunches and longer meals. The Cañadío cheesecake, made to a recipe unchanged since 1981, is the clearest signal of where the kitchen's loyalties lie.
East Greenwich, United States
La Masseria occupies a prominent address on East Greenwich's Main Street dining corridor, bringing an Italian-rooted kitchen to a Rhode Island town increasingly defined by its table. The restaurant sits within a local dining scene that now includes serious competition from seafood, steakhouse, and global formats, making its particular focus on sourcing and regional Italian tradition a distinct position on the strip.
New York City, United States
La Masseria occupies a stretch of West 48th Street where Midtown's theater-district foot traffic meets a room designed to slow you down.

Tokyo, Japan
A 16-seat French address in Kagurazaka, La Matiere belongs to Tokyo’s compact, wine-minded bistro tier rather than the grand dining-room circuit.
