The world in its entirety is a vast place, with different cultures, languages, ethics, morals, and behaviors. These cultures are all particular to a specific region. A major entity of culture is food, where else will you have a taste of exquisite dishes if not in restaurants? Taking a trip around the world, I have put together some of my favorite restaurants I visited during my travels. The choice of being the best is based on the meals, the decoration, the environment, and the whole restaurant as a whole.
Everyone knows that if you want to taste the best cuisine in the world, you need to travel to Italy. During my trip to Modena, I found one of the best restaurants - Osteria Francescana. This restaurant is famous all over the world for all food lovers. Owned and managed by the most emotive chef in the world, Massimo Bottura. The interior decorations of the restaurant are exquisite, the contemporary paintings decorating the walls add to the beauty of the restaurant. Massimo has perfected the art of turning Italian meals into sophisticated art. The mortadella sandwich cherished by every Italian is prepared exquisitely. A taste of his Magnum ice cream bar, his lacquered eel are all dishes that will keep everyone coming back.
The next favorite restaurant is Eleven Madison Park, located in New York. The design of this restaurant was done by Bentel & Bentel. The meal courses offered here are a wide variety inspired by the culinary traditions and agricultural endowment of New York. The restaurant has a theatrical dining room. The chef managing the restaurant is Daniel Humm a Swiss. Humm is known for perfecting the art of preparing French cuisine from locally produced ingredients. Eleven Madison Park is open seven days a week. Lunch is served by 1 p.m. from Friday to Sunday. From Monday to Wednesday, dinner is served from 5:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., and 5:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on Thursdays to Sundays.
In London, England, I love the restaurant Dinner. It belongs to Heston Blumenthal. The restaurant was opened in January 2011. The restaurant is located at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. The restaurant is managed by Chef Ashley Palmer-Watts. Ashely is good at transforming local traditional dishes into modern-day cuisines. The restaurant is exquisitely designed and decorated. You even have the opportunity to have your own individual tailored dining experience (there is a private dining room). There is a chef’s table: you get to see all the activities in the kitchen, and your meal will be served by the head chef.
And my last favorite restaurant that I want to draw attention to is Mugaritz, located in Errenteria, Spain. It is located just a little beyond the rolling hills of the Basque Country. The restaurant was opened in March 1998 and was managed by Chef Andoni Luis Aduriz. Since 2006, it has been on the list of the best restaurants in the world. The managing chef is one of the best in contemporary cuisines. The interior decorations are completely covered in wood beams, making it look like a traditional Basque country house. Lunch is served from 12:20 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. every day. Dinner is served from 8:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. from Monday to Saturday.
My favorite restaurants described by me in this essay are really fantastic. They perfectly embody the culture of their countries, and the impression of visiting them makes you want to return there again and again. I sincerely advise everyone to visit the places that are dear to my heart.
