Best Restaurants in Central London
For standout dining in Central London, our go-to favourites blend atmosphere, innovation, and consistency. Evelyn’s Table offers an intimate counter dining experience focused on British ingredients with pitch-perfect wine pairings. Dai Chi reimagines omakase through skewers in a sleek, low-lit space, while Kricket delivers Indian-inspired small plates and standout seafood near Piccadilly Circus. The Palomar remains a perennial favourite for vibrant Israeli-Mediterranean flavours and lively bar seating. Italian gem Bocca di Lupo takes you on a regional journey through Italy, and Temper impresses with smoky, South American-influenced dishes cooked over a central fire pit. For classic British fare, Quo Vadis charms with its illustrated menus and hearty puddings, while Rita’s brings a global, ever-changing lineup of comfort food favourites. Finally, Hoppers is beloved for its Sri Lankan-inspired menu – the Bone Marrow Varuval and dosas are unmissable.
Beverly Hills Best Restaurants
Beverly Hills has become an epicentre for the best dining in Los Angeles, with top chefs and NYC imports planting a flag in the 90210 zip code. A few old favourites still remain – from Matsuhisa (as in Nobu) to celebrity favourite Mr. Chow, plus the old Frank Sinatra hang-out La Dolce Vita, which has undergone a recent revamp.
For the second wave of newer essential places, THE Blvd at Beverly Wilshire has a new British executive chef, Colin Bedford, making beef Wellington suppers, Mastro’s steakhouse has a refurbished garden penthouse with a view, and Crustacean has launched Little C with traditional Vietnamese food for lunch.
And while we wait for Daniel Boulud’s pending West Coast opening, we’ve rounded up our top ten spots for dining in Beverly Hills. Spoiler alert: Italian food and steak places reign supreme.
Best Restaurants in Dubai
Dubai is a state of superlatives. This is an Emirate obsessed with the best – whether that’s the tallest building, the biggest mall, or, as pertains to this article, the finest cuisine with the best views. We’re not just referring to rooftop panoramas, either (although there are plenty of those, and excellent ones at that). You can also dine with a backdrop of pillowy dunes, sea-seasoned beaches, and plant-packed waterways – if you know where to look (and book).
For sky-high fine dining, visit Cloud 22, where Dolce & Gabbana’s whimsical revamp meets French-Mediterranean cuisine overlooking the Arabian Sea. Or if you prefer to experience serene organic breakfasts, we recommend The Farm in Al Barari’s lush oasis. Highlights also include Asian-inspired seafood at Sea Fu on Jumeirah Beach, world-famous SushiSamba’s vibrant fusion of Japanese, Brazilian, and Peruvian flavours on The Palm, and elegant Italian at Il Gattopardo and Fi’lia, each boasting panoramic city views. For something truly unforgettable, Sonara Camp offers a sunset-lit desert dining experience complete with live jazz and Mediterranean dishes under the stars.
Best Restaurants in Monaco
For those jetting off to the small but mighty city-state for the Monaco Grand Prix later this month, make a pit stop at some of the most coveted dining spots before – or after – the main event. Whether you’re looking for a refined omakase experience at L’Abysse Monte-Carlo, elegant seafood at Marius Monaco, or classic Italian at Zeffirino, Monaco’s culinary scene is as impressive as its racetrack. For something more vibrant, Amazónico Monte-Carlo and COYA Monte-Carlo bring Latin flair and lively energy, while GAIA Monte-Carlo offers modern Mediterranean favourites in chic surroundings. And for a bold, elevated take on the steakhouse, Beefbar delivers with style and substance.
