The Fat Badger | Notting Hill · London
The Fat Badger, London
Invite-only when it first opened, the Fat Badger has officially opened to the public, and it’s one of London’s hottest tables. The Notting Hill newcomer from the team behind The Pelican, The Hero, and Canteen 310, is set on the floors above Canteen on Golborne Road. Come for a meal at the top-floor restaurant, which offers a seasonal set menu, then stay for live music at the pub.
Sandì · Milan
Sandì, Milan
One of Milan’s best restaurants right now is Sandí, a winter 2025 opening set in a former bakery but updated with elegant, Milanese design touches. Only open for lunch during the week and dinner on Fridays, Sandì offers spectacular dishes, from the leeks in red wine, blue cheese and dark chocolate, to the cordon bleu with mashed potatoes.

Fuel up for a day by the beach or hitting the waves at this tiny cafe with excellent coffee and pastries (we’re partial to the banana bread).
Le Veau d'Or · Manhattan

A truly excellent restaurant in midtown Manhattan is rare, but Le Veau d'Or is just that.

This Copenhagen-based brand is run by two sisters and sells simple, elegant jewelry, as well as beautiful, high-quality bags and leather goods.
Oysters Menorca · Barcelona
Oysters Menorca “Barcelona”, Barcelona
Menorca’s Oyster is one of Mahón’s best spots for oysters and bubbly, so its second opening in Barcelona was a welcome addition to the city’s dining scene. The glitzy spot features a long bar, plus outdoor seating, and a seafood-focused menu—don’t miss the pasta with Benoît caviar.
Miyakodori · Stockholm
Miyakodori, Stockholm
This Japanese gastropub comes from former chefs of the three-Michelin-starred Frantzén, and it's as good as you'd expect considering that resume. The atmosphere here is laid-back, but the food is executed with precision. Start with the caviar with kombu butter and milk bread before moving on to the yakitori skewers, and wash it all down with one of the excellent sakes on offer.
Omega3 (Ω3) · Sifnos
Omega3 (Ω3), Sifnos
The spot for lunch on Sifnos. Omega3 serves super fresh seafood in a casual but stylish beachfront setting. Don’t skip the cacio pepe calamari.
Café de l'Usine · Paris
Le Café de l'Usine, Paris
Chef Alice Arnoux, who previously worked with René Redzepi at Noma, has opened this delightful Belleville bistro set in a former shoe factory. The menu here is simple and seasonal, and it is set each morning after the day’s produce arrives. Lunch is a two- or three-course offering, and dinner is four courses, including such plates as squash soup with praline and ricotta or herb sausage with potato puree and gremolata. Enjoy the outside terrace when the weather is nice!
Osakana East Village · Manhattan
Osakana East Village, NYC
A true hole-in-the-wall, Osakana serves some of the best fish in all of NYC. You can’t dine in, this is a Japanese fish shop offering mostly takeaway—come to grab superb lunch fare (chirashi bowls, nigiri sets, etc), sushi-grade fish for home (the tuna toro is exceptional), or to take a sushi class (book ahead of time).
