Some of us have bucket lists, others have \u201cto eat\u201d lists – and these fine dining restaurants are some of the most ravishing places around the globe to share a meal. From experimental Scandi venues to classic Italian cuisine, via restaurants drawing on the indigenous and native plants and techniques of their country, you can count these 10 stops as a cultural experience in themselves.<\/p>\n

Le Monz\u00f9, Capri, Italy<\/h2>\n

Perched on a dramatic cliff with sunset views, Le Monz\u00f9<\/a> is a showstopper. A hotel restaurant in the Le-Corbusier-designed Punta Tragara hotel, it attracted one Michelin star in 2019. Now, head chef Antonio Pedana\u2019s dainty take on Neapolitan and Caprese cuisine includes octopus ragu served on mezzipaccheri pasta, cuttlefish with sea urchins and green apple, and \u201cmilk and cookies\u201d, a deconstructed biscuit dessert with hot and cold creamy foams. The eight-course Labyrinth of Flavors tasting menu will take you through the best of Padana\u2019s creations. Luxury Gold clients get to visit Le Monz\u00f9 on Day four of our Ultimate Italy journey<\/a>.<\/p>\n

La Colombe, Cape Town<\/h2>\n

The drive to this restaurant, on the Silvermist wine estate in Constantia<\/a>, hints at the fine dining experience that awaits: a minimalist white conservatory, views of forested mountainside, and imaginative plates served on smooth-edge, shell-like ceramics. Head chef James Gaag crafts little canapes inspired by snacks from South Africa\u2019s Cape Malay culture, followed by the signature \u201cTuna la Colombe\u201d dish, unfurled in a tuna tin but revealing high-end seared Bluefin tuna with king crab and caviar. Dishes are inspired by Gaag\u2019s travels and the wine list, naturally, is ample and strong on South African vintages.<\/p>\n

Food at Mayta restaurant, Lima, Peru<\/p><\/div>\n

Alchemist, Copenhagen, Denmark<\/h2>\n

With two Michelin stars in one of Europe\u2019s premier dining cities, Alchemist<\/a> isn\u2019t just a dinner, it\u2019s a theatrical experience. Six hours, 50 bites, different locations around a labyrinthine industrial building, video screens on the ceiling\u2026 as fine dining restaurants go, it\u2019s quite a head-spinner. You might eat freeze-dried butterflies (head chef Rasmus Munk is championing them as a future sustainable protein source) or what looks like a plate of plastic junk (but is actually grilled cod jaw with a \u201cbag\u201d made from dehydrated cod bouillon). There\u2019s a strong sustainability message, but the performance trips through emotions, memory and even interpretive dance.<\/p>\n

Mayta, Lima, Peru<\/h2>\n

A contemporary Peruvian restaurant in the country\u2019s capital, Mayta<\/a> takes plenty of inspiration from nature. Weaving native leaves, moss, rocks bark and flowers into the restaurant\u2019s dish presentations, chef Jaime Pesaque conjures up dishes like scallop with leche de tigre, grilled eggplant in a smoky broth or Amazonian paiche fish cheeks in a rich glaze. This fine dining restaurant\u2019s name means \u201cNoble Land\u201d in the indigenous Aymara language of the Andes, so it\u2019s Peru\u2019s heritage and character that\u2019s being celebrated in its fine dining experience – all among nature-inspired interiors of plants and hanging baskets.<\/p>\n

Belcanto, Lisbon<\/h2>\n

Portugal\u2019s capital is an underrated fine-dining treasure trove, and this restaurant in the Bairro Alto district<\/a> has the two Michelin stars to prove it. Helmed by chef Jos\u00e9 Avillez, the space itself is all wood-paneled, parquet-floored, mirrored grandeur, while the tasting menu reinvents several Portuguese classics. Among them are pot-au-feu, with meats, sausages and potatoes in a slow-simmered dish, and Avillez\u2019s grandmother\u2019s rice pudding. But also expect intriguing bites like crunchy seaweed with barnacles, or partridge escabeche.<\/p>\n

Oteque, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil<\/h2>\n

Atmospherically set in a 1930s house in Rio, this restaurant from Japanese-Brazilian chef Alberto Landgraf<\/a> is all about fish and seafood. Oysters with brazil-nut milk and green apple, monkfish with burrata, glazed turbot, sea urchin with mussel cream\u2026 let\u2019s just say you have to love the fruits of the sea to get on board with this one. Styled with Japanese flair and the star of the show might be the venue\u2019s playlist: a grunge-rock riot of Smashing Pumpkins, Pink Floyd and Judas Priest you won\u2019t find in most fine dining restaurants.<\/p>\n

DiverXO, Madrid, Spain<\/h2>\n

With ice-white interiors, dramatic curtained tables and wacky art, this avant-garde Madrid restaurant<\/a> has no less than three Michelin stars. The dining room feels like a blank canvas for the colourful cuisine that emerges from the kitchen: head chef Dabiz Mu\u00f1oz spins stories across a 26-course menu that might include mini caviar curries with sauces in miniature pans, beef rib soup dumplings or coconut ganache with black garlic. Quirky animal sculptures and figurines from flying pigs to chrome ants set the tone for something weird but wonderful.<\/p>\n

Frantzen, Stockholm, Sweden<\/h2>\n

Frantzen\u2019s<\/a> head chef, Bjorn Frantzen, was a chef in the Swedish army before taking on the fine dining world. Here he creates New Nordic cuisine with Japanese and French elements across a three-floor dining room of dreams: canapes are served in a comfy lounge before you\u2019re shown to a chilled counter, with all the ingredients that will be used in your tasting menu on display. One of the more expensive menus on this list, it\u2019s not for the faint hearted, but whimsical dishes include a truffled French toast, pumpkin macaron with foie gras and pork chawanmushi (a Japanese egg custard). Wine list connoisseurs will also appreciate the thousand or so wines on offer.<\/p>\n

Den, Tokyo, Japan<\/h2>\n

One of the best restaurants in Tokyo<\/a>, this creative spot recently earned a Michelin Green Star for its sustainability efforts, on top of the two Michelin stars it already held. The \u201cDentucky Fried Chicken\u201d is probably the most famous dish, a deep-fried chicken-wing dumpling with sticky rice and chicken ginseng soup, served in a faux takeaway carton. But there\u2019s plenty more to this modern update on the traditional Japanese kaiseki form, including clay-pot-cooked rice and bamboo shoots cooked two ways. The dining room is small and minimalist, with a counter facing the open kitchen. Chef Zaiyu Hasegawa says his main goal is \u201cto make others happy\u201d, and you\u2019re sure to leave with a smile on your face.<\/p>\n

Don Julio, Buenos Aires, Argentina<\/h2>\n

Not all fine dining restaurants are futuristic spaceships of white and chrome: this traditional Buenos Aires parrilla<\/a> (steakhouse) has a classic green-striped canopy and a cosy, brick-lined dining room trimmed with wine bottles. It\u2019s all about the meat here: different cuts of steak, morcilla blood sausage, provoleta cheese and even vegetables cooked on the vast, smoky parrilla grill. The wine list draws on a 60,000-strong cellar and owner-chef Pablo Rivero has done great work when it comes to sourcing sustainable beef and working with the Argentinian cattle farming world. The olde-worlde looks mean it has atmosphere in spades. All of this adds up to one Michelin star, well deserved.<\/p>\n
