Flaveur
Flaveur is Nice’s most highly-rated restaurant—and rightly so. Brothers Mickaël and Gaël Tourteaux (whose last name, almost unbelievably, translates as “cake”), a pair of fabulously…
L'Aparté
One of Villefranche’s most acclaimed restaurants is a step back in time, as it’s sited on rue Obscure, a medieval street that dates back to the year 1260. Conversely, cuisine is…
Saturne
Paris does not have very many glass-roofed restaurants, and even fewer with a kitchen like this one. The chef’s Scandinavian roots are evident in the decor, with its sleek blond wood…
Xi'an Famous Foods
If this restaurant were a laboratory—and it looks very much like one, with its sterile white-tiled walls and stools for chairs (casually pulled up to counters built into the wall)—the…
Balthazar
