01.Modern French Fine Dining

Munich, Germany
Munich's fine Italian dining scene has one long-standing reference point in Bogenhausen: Acquarello, where Chef Mario Gamba has held a Michelin star and accumulated consecutive Opinionated About Dining Classical Europe rankings through 2025.

For travellers already crossing into southern Jutland, it earns a serious detour.

14.Texas BBQ
Franklin BBQ
Austin, United States
Franklin BBQ operates Tuesday through Sunday, 11am to 3pm, and the queue outside 900 E 11th St has become as much a part of the Austin experience as the brisket itself.

22.Modern Mediterranean Fusion
Fismuler
Madrid, Spain
On a Chamberí corner in Madrid, Fismuler sits in the mid-tier bracket where updated traditional cuisine and natural wine share the floor.
