1. Melbourne: The FlowerDrum The exterior of this restaurant is unassuming. But as you sit down to savor the restaurant's Chinese cuisine, you might just happen upon Britain's Prince Andrew and his entourage dining here. Many might question the restaurant's shrimp dumplings - plum-sized dumplings that don't quite fit the mold of Chinese dim sum. However, anyone who tastes them will enjoy the restaurant's innovative flavors. Food critics agree that this is one of the restaurant's most colorful dim sum dishes. Whether it's the décor, the service, or the menu, Flower Drum utilizes a purely Chinese style. Gilbert Lau, the restaurant's founder and current restaurant consultant, has kept a close eye on Flower Drum's operations. The restaurant specializes in Cantonese cuisine, but customers can also enjoy the delicious Peking duck. The opulent décor highlights the clientele's privileged status, while the dishes stick to the finest Australian ingredients. Szechuan prawns wrapped in a spicy sauce are plump and succulent; Australia's finest beef is memorable; and King Island soft-shell crab is one of the restaurant's most popular dishes. Flower Drum's classic Cantonese dishes, such as grilled scallops, salt and pepper cuttlefish, and shark's fin, are fully in keeping with Guangdong's regional flavors, and the restaurant's understated yet attentive service style is impeccable. In contrast, Flower Drum's desserts are more introspective: simple pancakes topped with sweet and savory mango juice and served with fresh mangoes are simple and refreshing. (Picture 1) 2. Sydney: Buil-laumeatBennelong Buil-laumeatBennelong, established by renowned chef Buillaume Brahimi, is located next to the Sydney Opera House. This multi-award winning restaurant is not only Guillaume's home, but also the hottest restaurant in the city of Sydney. If you don't just see this crescent-shaped modern building as a post-modernist masterpiece or a stopover before entering the Opera House, you'd be wrong - some diners have even passed up VIP tickets to the ballet's premiere just to sit in the restaurant a little longer. For gourmets who love Australian seafood, Guillaume's is undoubtedly a gastronomic paradise: the fresh lasagna with Queensland scallops, topped with Morton Bay grilled insects and a blue sea crab fillet consommé, is simply impeccable. The desserts are also very special: the lasagna with spicy raw pear cream has a wonderful texture, and the buttermilk is rich and sweet with vibrant seeds, apricots and strawberries. The cuisine at Guillaume's is quintessentially Neo-Australian, a blend of Mediterranean and South Pacific flavors. It's no wonder that Australia's top stars, politicians and models flock to the restaurant. (Picture 2) 3. Oxfordshire: LeManoir AuxQuat'Saisons The world's leading chef, Raymond Blanc, is not exactly a rising star in the culinary world, but for 20 years now the charismatic Frenchman has been working in the kitchen of the 15th-century LeManoir AuxQuat'Saisons in Oxfordshire.

Blanc combines the British tradition of home-grown produce with contemporary French culinary artistry to create the restaurant's unique style. Unlike the new generation of chefs, Blanc insists on cooking the purest French cuisine. This is one of the restaurant's best features. Celebrities such as Victoria Beck-ham, Richard Branson and Cliff Richard are regulars here, and the late Princess Diana was a loyal customer. The menu consists of seven courses, including foie gras, spicy duck and pickled cherries. The restaurant's ravioli is very special: filled with quail's eggs, spinach, freshly-spiced mushrooms and creamy chicken, it's delicious. The finest sole salad mingles with the freshness of crabmeat and is served with Gewurztraminer's special sauce. And Blank's original Mint Mango Soup and Chocolate Fudge with Pistachio Ice Cream represent the restaurant's most distinctive desserts. Fresh food and fresh air - creating a romantic feeling like being in a dream. (Figure 3) 4. San Sebastian: Arzak restaurant (Arzak) Arzak restaurant is located in the coastal town of San Sebastian, Spain, Biscay, the appearance of the family estate is very ordinary, often overlooked. But for this famous modern Spanish restaurant, that's just a clever disguise. For 30 years, owner Juan Mari Arzak and his dark-haired daughter Elena have led the entire team at the restaurant to many accolades and continue to surprise gourmets around the world. Housed in a rustic 1890s building, the restaurant's restrained, understated European décor is traditionally elegant, but Asak serves the most modern cuisine. Flip through the menu at Asak and you're sure to be pleasantly surprised. Tender lamb chops are covered in a golden coffee foam, like a veil, and served with a refreshing sauce. And the Basque specialty, the ayu fish, looks like a big silver teardrop, with a transparent and mysterious "coat" that gives it a unique texture. The desserts at Asak's are often surprising: the frozen juice made from pressed Somali nuts is a favorite summer dessert, served with a chilled dairy drink. And the cottage cheese ice cream or chocolate burger will never disappoint. In Spain, celebrity chef Adrian Frerria of EI Bulli is known as the prince of Spanish contemporary cuisine, while Asak is considered the king of Spanish contemporary cuisine. 5. Monaco: Louis XV restaurant (LouisXV) Alain Ducasse (Alain Ducasse) established the Louis XV restaurant has all the elements needed for the world's top restaurants: nonchalant glamor, noble temperament and pure Gallic decorative style. European aristocrats, socialites and French movie stars are regulars at the restaurant, and they seem to have a soft spot for Louis XV's Monaco cuisine. When you go to the restaurant, make sure you dress up. Otherwise, your radiance will be overshadowed by the restaurant's gorgeous decor: elegant murals, extravagant crystal chandeliers, and every detail designed to reflect the owner's heart. The Louis XV menu is distinguished but not ostentatious. A perfect blend of Provencal delicacies and unique rustic flavors are served with a mouth-watering aroma of vegetables specializing in Ducasse's home country. The restaurant insists on using Limousin veal from the northern steppes or lambs from the Pyrenees, a purely French flavor that is unforgettable for many customers. Ducasse has also expanded his innovations to include bread. However, after six courses, there may not be room in your stomach. The price per meal is a whopping $335, however, by the time it's over, you'll realize you got your money's worth. 6. London: Go oldonRamSey In the culinary world, bad boy Ramsey is as famous for his mastery of cooking as he is for his short temper. Recently, Ramsey held a cooking demonstration at which he once again went berserk, bringing the normally unsmiling former member of British Parliament to tears. Gordon Ramsay is the first restaurant he has opened, which is tucked away in a residential neighborhood on Royal Hospital Street. It is certainly a good place for diners who like a cozy atmosphere. The restaurant is small in size but one of the best of its kind. Signature dishes at Gordon Ramsay's include the oddly shaped creamy coleslaw with bitter cocoa sauce and jellyfish and shrimp dumplings. The heavyweight menu, consisting of seven courses of lei, also includes a unique fish - soft, flavorful fish on a bed of chopped vegetables tossed in a tangy sauce.

But who can resist such a temptation when you get the chance to dine with stars of theater, fashion and media? Gordon Ramsay's desserts are also quite good, but the restaurant's cheeses have to be mentioned - the restaurant displays 40 different cheeses, with detailed explanations from experts next to each one. 7.

From the restaurant's inception to the present day, the black cod with Japanese soy noodle sauce has been driving many food critics crazy. Of course, classic Japanese cuisine is the star of the menu: prawn tempura rolls, seasonal wagyu beef, and a prix fixe lunch served at noon are the restaurant's signature dishes. And the yellowtail sashimi with jalape?o is a chef's innovation. Desserts at Nobu are a break from traditional preparation and are to die for.

Paris: Joel Robuchon (L'ateLierDe JoelRobuchon) In 1996, celebrity chef Joel Robu-chon announced his retirement, though no one believed his decision.

The restaurant breaks the formal dining pattern of high-end restaurants, completely abandoning the reserved and pretentious traditional dining style, creating a relaxed and comfortable dining atmosphere. Kindly waiters take the initiative to interact with customers, and Joe Lubzon talks to different diners in the restaurant to find out if the dishes are to the customer's liking. The restaurant's specialty is pan-fried silver cod, and the dishes cooked on the searing grill are original specialties created by the master - who often travels to Spain on vacation and draws inspiration for his innovations from the local cuisine. 9. Los Lobos: EIBu III Rose Asac brought Spanish cuisine into the new century, while fellow Spanish celebrity chef Atrian Frerria became a global culinary hero. Frerria was very original. It is not a professional chef, but a halfway laboratory researcher. The modern Spanish cuisine created by him is almost impossible to describe, and the restaurant's specialties of tortillas, empanadas and gnocchi are Spanish delicacies of global renown. EIBu III is located on the "steep coast" (CbstaBrava). It is there that the owner, Feria, created the "foam" food - a variety of delicious flavors whipped up into a thick and tasty foam. The restaurant's dishes offer an incredibly flavorful experience: foie gras consommé with fragrant tamarind and a Spanish omelette - served in a martini glass and covered with a layer of potato foam. In addition to the innovative Spanish cuisine, customers can also savor classic Spanish dishes here. And the restaurant's desserts are a pleasant surprise. A variety of desserts, including Black Beauty Cylinder Ice Cream, Saffron Balls, Rose Balls and Mint Jelly make up the mouth-watering platter. Last May, Feria and Juan Mari .

If this menu is too much for you, a 5-course set menu is also available. The light and tasty Tuna Nice salad and the flavorful lobster show Thomas Kohler's minimalist take on classic French cuisine - which is also - the restaurant's best feature. Of course, vegetarians can find something for themselves here as well - none of the nine dishes in the set menu have meat in them, so they can be savored with confidence. The desserts of the restaurant seem to have surpassed the standard of the French territory. The special chocolate cream is simply to die for, so be sure to watch your health. 21
