Here’s What to Order on a Gourmet Getaway
Nolinski Paris | Black Pepper-crusted Beef
An incredibly chic boutique hotel just steps from the Louvre, Nolinski Paris makes dining-in a delight at its mirrored and gilded Le Restaurant. The menu showcases the contemporary cuisine of Philip Chronopoulos, who also happens to head up the two Michelin star Palais Royal Restaurant. Your must-order main here is black pepper-crusted beef fillet flambé with cognac and dauphine potatoes—c’est magnifique.

Tiara Yaktsa Côte d’Azur | Chef’s Choice
One comes to Côte d’Azur expecting French refinement, and Tiara Yaktsa delivers, from spectacular sea-view rooms to L’Or Bleu, its Michelin starred restaurant guided by Chef Alain Montigny. A Meilleur Ouvrier de France winner, Montigny dreams up different Mediterranean-inspired menus every day of four or six courses, so the unmissable dish is ever changing, simply leave it to the master and request “Chef’s choice.”

Conrad Los Angeles | Peruvian Scallops
Meaning “living water,” Agua Viva at Conrad Los Angeles is the masterful hands of James Beard Award Winner and Michelin-starred Chef José Andrés. The rooftop setting atop The Grand by Frank Gehry building alone is delicious enough but thankfully the menu matches it, with Peruvian scallops with yuzu kosho, fresno chili, pineapple and rum a must-eat.

The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong | The Full Vegetarian Amber Experience
In another one of the world’s greatest food cities, The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong is home to Amber, which counts two Michelin stars (for an astonishing 14 consecutive years) and a Michelin Green Star to its name. Its uni and caviar dish is legendary but the restaurant’s recent Green Star speaks to its sustainability initiatives which, among many things, includes a less meat-centric menu by Chef Richard Ekkebus. The full vegetarian Amber experience forgoes all meat entirely and kicks off with Japanese Amao strawberries atop tomato jelly and finished with a shiso sorbet.

Nobu Hotel Marrakech | Black Cod Miso
Since the original opened in New York in 1994, Nobu, named for its Chef Nobuyuki “Nobu” Matsuhisa, has become a global brand that includes stylish accommodations alongside its famed restaurants. Nobu Hotel Marrakech is no exception, and the iconic dish to order is undoubtedly the Black Cod Miso. Marinated in a sweet and savoury miso glaze, the fish melts in the mouth and finds complement in the buttery mushrooms served alongside. But the beauty of the hotel’s Marrakech location is there are also Moroccan tagines and pastillas to partake of up at the Rooftop Garden.

Park Hotel Vitznau | Duck Liver Ice Cream
As if waking up in its castle-like structure perched on the shore of Switzerland’s Lake Lucerne wasn’t satisfying enough, Park Hotel Vitznau is also a serious dining destination. The hotel is home to focus ATELIER, with two Michelin stars and 18 Gault&Millau points, helmed by Chef Patrick Mahler. The signature dish to try here is duck liver ice cream with beetroot and beef tartar, which is as artful as it is unexpected.

Great Scotland Yard | Flambadou Oyster
In London, a stone’s throw from Covent Garden, Great Scotland Yard is quintessentially British with a twist, as evidenced at its Ekstedt at The Yard, the Ekstedt being Niklas Ekstedt, where the Michelin starred chef treats the best seasonal local ingredients to the old Nordic-style cooking treatment. The dish not to miss is Flambadou Oyster, which uses a cast iron cone to delicately sear the oysters by dripping hot beef fat from above. With its open kitchen, diners can witness all the wood fired action.

Serras Andorra | Arroz de Gamba Roja
Alpine vistas, wellness treatments, fine dining—Serras Andorra checks all the boxes. As for the latter, its gastronomy is directed by Marc Gascons, Michelin star chef of Costa Brava’s Els Tinars. At atmospheric Restaurante Bruna, named for the most notable Pyrenees cow breed, order the Arroz de gamba roja (or red shrimp and rice) which comes with a coral romesco.

The Tokyo Station Hotel | The Best Buffet Breakfast in Japan
Before heading out to try and capture a handful of Tokyo’s whopping 263 Michelin stars, start the day with what’s been called the best hotel breakfast in Japan at The Tokyo Station Hotel. Served buffet-style in their light-filled Atrium, the brekkie boasts more than 100 food items to choose from, including an authentic Japanese breakfast with an informational leaflet to guide the uninitiated. The portioning is deliberately bite-sized so guests can sample the astonishing variety if they so wish.
