New York City, United States
Penny opened above Claud in 2024, converting the East Village building's bright second floor into one of New York's most closely watched raw seafood counters.

With a 6,000-bottle wine list anchored in Burgundy and Champagne, the bar-only format rewards early arrivals and walk-in diners equally.
Osaka, Japan
Kashiwaya Osaka Senriyama places Osaka’s formal Japanese dining tradition outside the city-centre circuit, in a house-style setting in Suita rather than a hotel tower or nightlife district.

New York City, United States
Where the Lower East Side meets Northern Mexico: Corima opened in 2024 at 3 Allen St and quickly earned recognition on Opinionated About Dining's Top Restaurants in North America list.

The wine list, directed by Cas Kratz, spans 945 selections with particular depth in Burgundy and Bordeaux.
Tokyo, Japan

No standard menu is available; vegetarians should notify on booking.
Venice, Italy
Inside Palazzo Venart on the Grand Canal, Glam holds two Michelin stars under resident chef Donato Ascani, working within a framework established by multi-starred Enrico Bartolini.

Hondarribia, Spain
A Michelin Plate asador on the slopes of Mount Jaizkibel, Laia Erretegia occupies a converted country-house stable outside Hondarribia and runs one of the Basque Country's more serious dry-aging programmes.

Los Angeles, United States
Open since 2007 on Melrose Avenue, Osteria Mozza holds a Michelin star and a James Beard Award in Nancy Silverton's corner, and it has shaped how Los Angeles understands Italian cooking at the table-cloth tier.

Ischia, Italy
Tucked into the residential hills above Ischia, daní maison occupies chef Nino Di Costanzo's own home, where just a handful of tables sit beneath vaulted ceilings in a setting that reads more private estate than restaurant.

Expect concept-driven, elaborately constructed dishes from one of Campania's most decorated chefs.
Barcelona, Spain

London, United Kingdom
Plates London earned a Michelin star in January 2025, just seven months after opening on Old Street — making it the UK's first starred vegan restaurant.

Bookings run months ahead.
Orlando, United States
Victoria & Albert's at Walt Disney World's Grand Floridian Resort holds a Michelin star, AAA 5 Diamond recognition, and a La Liste score of 93 points — placing it among Florida's most formally ambitious dining rooms.

Dinner runs three to four hours and requires advance planning.
Macau, China
Aji sits on the second floor of MGM Cotai, where Singaporean chef Sihui Pan works a format built around Nikkei principles: Japanese produce, French technique, and a current of Southeast Asian flavour memory.

Munich, Germany
Atelier occupies a quietly commanding position in Munich's top-tier fine dining scene, holding two Michelin stars and 87 points on the 2026 La Liste rankings from its address inside the storied Bayerischer Hof hotel. Chef Jan Hartwig's creative French menu balances technical precision with intense, layered flavour combinations. Tuesday through Saturday evenings only, with a format built for extended, course-driven dining.
Bangkok, Thailand
Bangkok's bar scene has largely chased Japanese-inflected minimalism, which makes BKK Social Club's full commitment to Mexican drinking culture a pointed divergence. Ranked #37 in Opinionated About Dining Casual Asia 2025 and led by Phillip Bischoff, the bar serves agave-forward cocktails alongside non-alcoholic options like tepache and horchata, all delivered by staff in white jackets inside a gilded, glamorous room on Charoen Krung.
Manilla, Philippines
Toyo Eatery holds a Michelin star and a place in Asia's 50 Best (ranked 42nd in 2025), operating five evenings a week from a quiet corner of Makati's Karrivin Plaza. Chef Jordy Navarra frames Filipino ingredients through terroir and cultural reference, with dishes that pull from street food memory and folk song. The result is one of Manila's most argued-over reservations.
Miami, United States
Miami's Design District has absorbed a number of New York transplants, but few have landed as credibly as Cote, the Korean steakhouse that earned a Michelin star in both 2024 and 2025.

Brusciano, Italy
A two-Michelin-star address in Brusciano, roughly 18 kilometres from Naples, Taverna Estia translates Campanian flavour traditions into contemporary tasting menus without losing their regional grounding. Brothers Mario and Francesco Sposito run the dining room and kitchen respectively, maintaining a family-run operation that now draws well beyond the Campania region. La Liste scores the restaurant at 90 points in both 2025 and 2026, and Opinionated About Dining ranks it 168th in Europe for 2025.
San Francisco, United States
The Progress on Fillmore Street earns its Michelin star through a whole-animal, whole-vegetable approach rooted in California's seasonal abundance, with smoke, fire, curing, and fermentation doing the heavy lifting. Sister restaurant to State Bird Provisions, it occupies a tier of San Francisco dining where the cooking is genuinely regional rather than globally referential. A 4.6 Google rating across 1,162 reviews confirms sustained execution night after night.
Kyoto, Japan
A Tabelog Gold Award winner operating from a traditional sukiya-style house in Kyoto's Kamigyo Ward, Tokuha Motonari holds a Michelin star and a Tabelog score of 4.52.

St. Helena, United States
Press Restaurant holds a Michelin star and ranks among Napa Valley's most serious wine destinations, with a cellar of 2,700 selections and 10,000 bottles weighted heavily toward California. Chef Philip Tessier brings fine-dining credentials to a modern American menu that reads as distinctly Napa: produce-forward, technically precise, and calibrated to complement the valley's wines rather than compete with them.
Chiclana de la Frontera, Spain
The two-Michelin-starred offshoot of Ángel León's celebrated Aponiente, Alevante operates from inside the Gran Meliá Sancti Petri on the Cádiz coast, bringing the same ocean-sourcing philosophy to a hotel dining format. The Gran Menú Alevante draws on the Bay of Cádiz seafood tradition — sea urchin, mackerel, dogfish, tuna — in a minimalist room where hemp-rope curtains and fish-silhouette walls do the atmospheric work. Ranked 468th in Europe by Opinionated About Dining in 2025, this is one of Andalusia's most credentialed tables.
Kyoto, Japan
Gion Nishikawa sits in Kyoto’s Higashiyama kaiseki circuit, where Kansai seasonality, private-room formality, and counter precision carry more weight than theatrical reinvention. Chef Masayoshi Nishikawa’s restaurant has Michelin two-star recognition in 2024 and 2025, a 2026 Tabelog Bronze Award, and inclusion in OAD’s Japan recommendations, placing it among Kyoto’s serious Japanese cuisine addresses rather than its tourist-facing dining tier.
Macau, China
Imperial Court at MGM Macau holds a 3-Star Accreditation from the World of Fine Wine & Leaders Awards, placing it among Macau's most formally recognised Chinese dining rooms. The restaurant operates from the second level of the MGM Macau on Avenida Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, within a property that has shaped the city's integrated-resort dining tier since opening.
Paris, France
L'Astrance occupies a storied address on Rue de Longchamp in the 16th arrondissement, where Pascal Barbot's contemporary French kitchen draws on Asian influences and a deep commitment to produce. The glass wine cellar, curated by maître d' Christophe Rohat, has become as much a reason to book as the food itself. Ranked in the World's 50 Best Restaurants every year from 2006 to 2017, this is one of Paris's most credentialled creative tables.
Serralunga d'Alba, Italy
A two-Michelin-star address set within Il Boscareto Resort outside Alba, La Rei Natura by Michelangelo Mammoliti holds a 92-point score from La Liste (2026) and a ranking of 348 in Opinionated About Dining's European classical list.

Shanghai, China
Set within a remodelled 1930s villa inside Capella Shanghai on Jianguo Road West, Le Comptoir de Pierre Gagnaire holds a Michelin star and a Black Pearl Diamond, placing it among Xuhui's most serious French tables. The kitchen pairs classical French technique with Shanghainese inflections, while the vine-wrapped terrace and 20-seat bar extend the experience well beyond the dining room.
Marina del Cantone, Italy
Three Michelin stars in a village that requires genuine commitment to reach: Quattro Passi in Marina del Cantone has grown from a beachside pizzeria into one of Campania's most decorated restaurants over four decades. Chef Fabrizio Mellino works Mediterranean ingredients — Amalfi lemons, San Marzano tomatoes, Sorrento coastline seafood — through a technique-driven lens that earned a La Liste score of 97 points in 2026 and an Opinionated About Dining Classical Europe ranking of 52nd in 2025.
Stockholm, Sweden

Bogotá, Colombia
Among Bogotá's most globally recognised modern Colombian restaurants, El Chato has held a position inside the World's 50 Best since 2023 — reaching #25 in 2024 — while keeping the format deliberately relaxed. Chef Álvaro Clavijo applies European technique to native Colombian ingredients, producing a menu that reads as a producer ledger as much as a dining list. Reservations are taken for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Sunday, with Sunday service closing at 4 pm.
Toronto, Canada
On the third floor of a Spadina Avenue building, Alo has spent nearly a decade accumulating the kind of critical recognition that reshapes how Toronto is perceived abroad. A Michelin star, consistent placement on Canada's 100 Best, and a recent entry on the San Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants mark it as the city's benchmark for contemporary French tasting-menu dining. The format is 10 courses, the sourcing is international, and the standard has not slipped.
Tokyo, Japan
A two-Michelin-star French restaurant in Tokyo's Nihonbashi Kabutocho district, ASAHINA Gastronome has held Tabelog Bronze recognition every year since 2021 and earned 80 points from La Liste 2026.

Laubach, France
A two-Michelin-star address in the Alsatian village of Laubach, La Merise operates where rural setting and serious culinary ambition rarely share the same table.

Courchevel, France
Le Chabichou by Stéphane Buron elevates Courchevel fine dining to legendary status, where Meilleur Ouvrier de France Stéphane Buron has maintained two Michelin stars for 40 years. His alpine-inspired tasting menus blend French mastery with Japanese subtlety in an elegantly appointed chalet setting.
New York City, United States
A Michelin-starred farm-to-table address in a 19th-century Tribeca townhouse, One White Street pairs a 6,000-bottle cellar with a menu built around produce from the team's upstate New York farm.

Berlin, Germany
CODA Dessert Dining occupies a category of its own in Berlin's fine dining scene: an entirely dessert-focused tasting menu restaurant in Neukölln holding two Michelin stars and a #79 ranking on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list (2025). Under René Frank, the kitchen reworks patisserie traditions through a lens of natural ingredients and precise drink pairings, operating Tuesday through Saturday from 7 pm.
Vienne, France
In Vienne, a Rhône Valley town 30 kilometres south of Lyon, La Pyramide carries one of French gastronomy's most significant addresses: the former house of Fernand Point, the chef who trained a generation that defined postwar French cooking. Today, under two Michelin stars and holding 91 points on La Liste 2026, the restaurant operates as a family-run maison with a seasonal, vegetable-forward approach and a cellar that includes a rare Chartreuse collection.
Luxembourg, Luxembourg
Two Michelin stars and a 91-point La Liste score position Ma Langue Sourit among Luxembourg's most decorated tables. Chef Cyril Molard's contemporary French cooking places the raw ingredient at the centre of every dish, with vegetables carrying unusual weight across the menu, from starters through to dessert.

Oakland, United States
A 12-seat Michelin-starred counter on an industrial block in West Oakland, Sun Moon Studio earned its first Michelin star in 2025 — less than a year after opening.

Our, Belgium
Two Michelin stars and a Les Grandes Tables du Monde listing place La Table de Maxime in the upper tier of Belgian fine dining, yet the setting is a village in the Ardennes rather than a city address. Chef Maxime Collard builds menus around hyperlocal produce, river fish, and garden-grown herbs, making the 90-minute drive from Brussels a deliberate act of seeking something out.
Saint-Tropez, France
La Vague d'Or holds three Michelin stars and a 99-point La Liste ranking, placing it among the most decorated restaurants on the French Riviera.

Macau, China
Wing Lei at Wynn Macau holds two Michelin stars and consecutive La Liste Top Restaurant scores above 91 points, placing it among Macau's most decorated Cantonese addresses. The dining room announces itself with a flying dragon rendered in 90,000 Swarovski crystals, but the cooking — classical Cantonese technique, premium seasonal ingredients, and considered dim sum — is the real reason the room fills. Under Chef Ming Yu, it earns its place in any serious reckoning of the city's Chinese fine dining tier.
