FRANCE ELEVATED ITALIAN DINING ABOVE BORDEAUX

GINA ROOFTOP BORDEAUX HAS ESTABLISHED ITSELF AS A DISTINCTIVE DESTINATION WITHIN THE CITY’S EVOLVING GASTRONOMIC LANDSCAPE.

POSITIONED ABOVE BORDEAUX’S URBAN RHYTHM, THE RESTAURANT OPERATES WITH A CLEAR FOCUS ON ATMOSPHERE, CULINARY INTEGRITY, AND EXPERIENTIAL BALANCE. ITS APPROACH REFLECTS A MODERN INTERPRETATION OF LUXURY DINING – ONE GROUNDED IN CLARITY OF CONCEPT RATHER THAN EXCESS, AND SHAPED BY CONSISTENCY ACROSS CUISINE, SERVICE, AND SETTING.

This positioning has been reinforced through recognition within Luxury Lifestyle Awards’ TOP 100, where Gina Rooftop Bordeaux has been included among the TOP 100 Restaurants for 2025. Within the context of international hospitality standards, this distinction functions as professional validation of the restaurant’s operating model, culinary direction, and guest experience philosophy, rather than as a defining endpoint.

A Rooftop Defined by Perspective

As the highest rooftop dining venue in Bordeaux, Gina Rooftop Bordeaux offers a panoramic vantage point that naturally informs the guest experience. The setting introduces a sense of openness and visual calm, framing dining moments against the city skyline rather than isolating them from it. This elevated perspective contributes to an atmosphere that remains composed and social, accommodating both intimate dinners and larger gatherings without compromising spatial coherence.

The design language supports this balance. Contemporary lines, refined materials, and a carefully managed spatial flow allow the venue to transition seamlessly between restaurant service, bar engagement, and curated events. The rooftop environment functions not as a spectacle, but as a contextual layer that enhances the overall dining narrative.

Italian Culinary Direction with Structure

The culinary identity of Gina Rooftop Bordeaux is anchored in Italian cuisine, guided by a structured and disciplined approach to

menu development. Under the leadership of Head Chef Franco Recce, the kitchen emphasizes authenticity, technical precision, and ingredient integrity. House-made pastas, seasonal dishes, and recipes rooted in Italian tradition form the foundation of the menu, supported by ingredients sourced directly from Italy.

Rather than pursuing complexity for its own sake, the culinary program prioritizes clarity of flavor and consistency in execution. This focus allows the restaurant to maintain a reliable standard across both à la carte offerings and tasting experiences, reinforcing trust among a diverse and returning clientele.

An Integrated Dining and Bar Experience

Complementing the restaurant is a bar program designed to function as an extension of the dining experience rather than a separate identity. Creative cocktails, a curated wine selection, and premium spirits are positioned to support both casual visits and structured dining occasions. This integration enables Gina Rooftop Bordeaux to operate fluidly throughout the day and evening, adapting to varying guest expectations without diluting its core positioning.

Service options reflect this flexibility. From standard dining service to bespoke event catering, the operational model accommodates a wide range of guest interactions while maintaining a consistent tone and level of attentiveness.

Service Culture and Guest Engagement

Customer service at Gina Rooftop Bordeaux is defined by personalization and attentiveness rather than formality. The service team operates with a clear understanding of pacing, discretion, and responsiveness, allowing guests to engage with the space on their own terms. This approach supports both local

patrons and international visitors, contributing to an experience that feels considered rather than performative.

A smart-casual dress code further reinforces this philosophy, aligning guest presentation with the venue’s refined yet accessible atmosphere. The result is an environment that feels welcoming without compromising its standards.

Events as an Extension of the Brand

Beyond its role as a dining destination, Gina Rooftop Bordeaux has developed a strong presence as an event venue within the city. Curated concepts such as live music evenings, comedy showcases, themed nights, and seasonal gatherings expand the restaurant’s relevance beyond traditional dining hours. These events are positioned as extensions of the brand’s hospitality offering, maintaining alignment with its culinary and service values.

By hosting premium experiences that attract both local and visiting audiences, the venue strengthens its role as a multifaceted hospitality space rather than a single-purpose restaurant.

Recognition Within Global Context

Inclusion in the Restaurants category of TOP 100 for 2025 situates Gina Rooftop Bordeaux within a broader international framework of hospitality excellence. This recognition reflects professional assessment of the restaurant’s operational quality, culinary direction, and guest experience consistency. It also underscores the venue’s ability to meet global expectations while retaining a strong local identity.

Rather than redefining the brand, this acknowledgment confirms an established trajectory shaped by clear vision, disciplined execution, and long-term positioning within Bordeaux’s dining scene.

JEFF’S CELLAR: A NEW ICON OF GASTRONOMY EMERGES, DEEP BENEATH MALAYSIA’S LUSH RAINFOREST

SOMETHING MAGICAL IS STIRRING DEEP BENEATH THE 260-MILLION-YEAR-OLD ATMOSPHERIC LIMESTONE CAVES IN IPOH, MALAYSIA. JEFF’S CELLAR, THE PURELY NATURAL FINE DINING DESTINATION AT THE BANJARAN HOTSPRINGS RETREAT, HAS EMERGED FROM AN ELEGANT TRANSFORMATION THAT WILL POSITION IT AT THE PINNACLE OF GASTRONOMY –NOT ONLY IN MALAYSIA, BUT ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. RECOGNIZED AMONG THE TOP 100 RESTAURANTS OF THE WORLD BY LUXURY LIFESTYLE AWARDS, JEFF’S CELLAR CONTINUES TO CAPTIVATE GUESTS WITH AN IMMERSIVE, UNFORGETTABLE DINING EXPERIENCE.

Nestled in a softly-lit cave, amid stalactites, stalagmites and rippling streams, Jeff’s Cellar is a multi- award-winning restaurant that envelops diners in a subterranean world of wonder. To celebrate The Banjaran Hotsprings Retreat’s 15th anniversary, this iconic venue has now completed an inspiring transformation that has enhanced every aspect of the guest experience, including new tasting menus, intriguing interiors, original elements, and a fresh focus on fine wines.

With a trio of menus that highlight locally-sourced and handselected imported ingredients, all artfully created by Chef Lee Choon Boon – the acclaimed executive chef who hails from Ipoh –and his team, Jeff's Cellar will transport guests on a multi-sensory journey through taste, sense, sound, touch and aroma.

Reimagined Multi-Sensory Interiors

Interior designer Nelson Yong and his talented team at Sunway Design have crafted a new contemporary concept which features premium furnishings and mood lighting to create a dramatic visual impression. The new interiors have made use of natural local materials, as guided by the vision of Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Sir Dr. Jeffrey Cheah KBE AO, Sunway’s founder and chairman (for whom Jeff’s Cellar is named), who was born in Ipoh and strives to use sustainable development as a way of empowering local people.

This refreshed venue retains its signature upper and lower decks while introducing a stylish new bar and lounge, and a refined private dining space with a dedicated wine cellar. Thoughtfully reimagined with layers of lighting, natural materials, and luxurious details, the redesign preserves the cave’s natural beauty and mysterious allure, while also enhancing the guest experience with a new state-of-the-art sound system that allows every note, whisper, and clink of glass to resonate with clarity.

The World’s Finest Ingredients, Crafted to Perfection

At the heart of the Jeff’s Cellar experience lies three culinary journeys – each one a story told in flavours, textures, and time. Curated by Chef Boon, the menus celebrate seasonality, provenance and technique. The 8-course Seasonal Menu showcases rare ingredients that tell the story of their season, sustainably sourced from Malaysia and around the globe –

including organic produce from The Banjaran’s own certified organic farm. The 7-course Prestige Menu is a celebration of highly-prized delicacies from top producers around the globe, from rustic French farms to traditional Japanese fisheries, all prepared with skill and precision. Finally, the Chef’s Tasting Menu is an 11-course odyssey that blends the best elements of the Seasonal and Prestige menus.

Highlights of these exquisite multi-course adventures include an amuse bouche of Tuna Belly Tart sourced from a Tokyo fish market, a vibrant appetiser of Mackerel with Kaluga Amur caviar, brought to life with the zing of lantana flower oil, fermented marigold leaves and horseradish, fresh Dover Sole from France, precisely executed in a “tomahawk” style, and luxurious grilled Canadian Lobster tail with edible flowers, wild cress and a lobster reduction.

Meat lovers can savour ultra-tender Miyazaki A5 Wagyu beef, accompanied with a silky-smooth pomme purée, Japanese soyglazed wild maitake mushroom and jus de viande, while the Poussin en Vessie is inspired by the rich culinary histories of France and Japan, as premium seaweed-fed chicken is slowcooked “sous-vide” style in a hot spring, then enhanced with a dobin-mushi broth of French morels and Japanese matsutake mushrooms, to evoke the essence of a woodland stroll.

Each dessert – Bavarois, a light, creamy almond yoghurt gelato, and Bean, which is inspired by Ipoh’s famous taufufa – is a multi-sensory thrill of sweet and savoury sensations that are artistically presented.

Original Experiences to Leave an Indelible Impression

Every aspect of the dining experience at Jeff’s Cellar has been carefully considered to evoke a sense of mystery and wonder. Guests are welcomed with a signature beverage served in pewterware. As part of the dinner course, the restaurant’s signature Sourdough was served, prepared from a five-yearold starter with a date stamp. To conclude the meal, an indulgent Chocolate & Whiskey Experience pairs two single malt whiskeys with artisanal chocolates, crafted by an expert chocolatier using local cacao beans from an organic farm in Ipoh. Then, when the time comes to settle the bill, diners will be delighted with one final sweet surprise!

World-Class Wine Preservation

The newly-reimagined Jeff's Cellar brings the art of wine to centre stage, with an enhanced selection of vintages from the world's leading wineries. The innovative Bermar Podbar system perfectly preserves wines and Champagnes for service by the glass, while the Coravin Six solution ensures that rare pours remain wonderfully fresh to the very last drop. For collectors, connoisseurs, and the curious, a wine tasting experience will transport guests on a journey around the world through handpicked vintages.

Private Dining for Life’s Most Important Occasions

A private space within the cave will set the scene for unforgettable evenings, bespoke parties, and tasting sessions. Within this intimate setting, guests can customise their menu to suit the unique preferences of their party, with premium options such as caviar and Kobe beef, all served amid the

enchanting ambiance of Jeff’s Cellar to create events that live long in the memory. Perfect for small groups (starting from 15 guests), these highly exclusive occasions are available for both lunch and dinner, with tailored menus ranging from MYR 390 to MYR 1,000+ per person.

With 15 years of prestigious accolades, including the title of 'Most Unique Dining Experience in Malaysia' (LUX Life Food & Drink), and 'Malaysia’s Best Hotel Restaurant' (World Culinary Awards 2024), the transformed Jeff’s Cellar now invites a new wave of discerning diners to step into a one-of-akind experience.

Jeff’s Cellar is open daily from 18:00 to 23:00 hrs, and advanced reservations are essential. The new menus are priced from MYR 645 nett per guest. For more information and to embark on a culinary journey like no other, please call +60 5 210 7777 or email tbhr.pomelo@sunwayhotels.com.

SAUDI ARABIA

JONES THE GROCER: THE SOUL OF ARTISANAL DINING AT FAIRMONT RAMLA

WITHIN THE CONTEMPORARY ELEGANCE OF FAIRMONT RAMLA SERVICED RESIDENCES IN THE COLORFUL RIYADH LIES JONES THE GROCER, A VIBRANT CULINARY DESTINATION THAT HAS ELEVATED THE STANDARD OF LUXURY DINING IN SAUDI ARABIA. THIS GOURMET CAFÉ-RESTAURANT, WHICH OPENED ITS DOORS IN 2023, HAS QUICKLY ASCENDED TO THE TOP OF RIYADH’S HOSPITALITY LANDSCAPE, CULMINATING IN ITS RECENT SELECTION AS ONE OF THE TOP 100 RESTAURANTS OF THE WORLD 2025 BY LUXURY LIFESTYLE AWARDS.

A Bold Concept: Café, Grocery & Culinary Studio

Born in Australia in 1996, Jones the Grocer made its foray into Saudi Arabia via a landmark partnership with Naif Alrajhi Investment Company, with the Fairmont Ramla venue identified as the first flagship for the kingdom. Inside the venue, you’ll find a walk-in cheese room, open show kitchens, communal seating, and a specialty grocery section where handcrafted condiments, small-batch jams, artisan teas, and mature cheeses line the shelves. This hybrid model, part café, part gourmet shop, part culinary atelier, embodies a modern luxury that celebrates craft, provenance, and experiential dining.

The Menu: Modern Aussie Fare Meets Local Sophistication

The culinary philosophy here is rooted in fresh, simple, and delicious modern Australian food, executed with precision and elevated by locally relevant touches. Guests can begin with a legendary breakfast (think truffle scrambled eggs or signature flat whites), then move into seasonal lunch and dinner menus featuring dishes like burrata flatbread or Australian wagyu burgers. Featured on a Saudi government-portal article is the “Ultimate Mr. Jones” wagyu burger with crispy onion rings, bringing bold flavour and indulgence to the table. Beyond the essentials, the venue embraces dietary diversity: gluten-free desserts sit alongside a broad selection of breakfast, light meals, and full dinner entrées. With all-day dining and weekend hours extending to late (6 am opening, 1 am on weekends), you sense this is a place built for both casual café visits and elevated dining experiences.

What truly sets Jones the Grocer apart is the ethos of service and community. Under the leadership of General Manager Muhieddine Zok, the team balances refined luxury with genuine warmth. The environment is designed to feel less formal than a white-tablecloth restaurant, yet every detail, tableware, service, and ingredients, is created with the highest standard. The restaurant also brings people in beyond dining: cooking classes, tasting events, and local-chef collaborations turn the space into a cultural hub as much as a gastronomic one. Personalised gift options—artisan hampers, tailored boxes—allow guests to extend the experience home. In the context of the Fairmont Ramla partnership, the restaurant has featured heavily in the hotel’s key promotional activities during the Riyadh Season festival, reinforcing its status as a go-to for both local tastemakers and international visitors.

The location itself supports the upscale ambition: Fairmont Ramla is a premium serviced residences and hotel project, designed by Tokyo-based Nikken Sekkei, and Jones the Grocer claims pride of place on the ground floor retail area. The atmosphere is one of relaxed sophistication, stylish furnishings, communal and outdoor seating, and an approachable ambiance that still speaks to luxury.

In a city where the dining scene is rapidly evolving, Jones the Grocer stands out by offering something both globally excellent and locally resonant. It’s not simply about high-end ingredients or showy presentation; it’s about thoughtful curation, interactive experiences, and an underlying community-oriented approach.

Why this Selection Matters

Being selected as one of the TOP 100 Restaurants of the World 2025 by Luxury Lifestyle Awards reflects the restaurant’s culinary distinction, as well as the holistic immersion the venue offers: craft-led food, luxury environment, service integrity, and cultural relevance. For diners in Riyadh looking for something more than simply a meal, this is the kind of destination where cuisine becomes experience.

Conclusion

At Jones the Grocer – Fairmont Ramla, Riyadh, luxury is thoughtful, delicious, and personal. From the moment you browse the cheese room, sip your flat white, and settle into the communal vibe, you know you’re in a place where every element has been considered. In a city in the midst of culinary transformation, this is a destination that exceeds expectations. If you’re seeking memorable dining in Riyadh, it should be on your shortlist.

LA LUCE AT HILTON CANCUN IS NOT SIMPLY ABOUT FOOD; IT OFFERS AN EXPERIENCE THAT COMBINES THE ESSENCE OF MEDITERRANEAN DINING WITH CONTEMPORARY SOPHISTICATION, ENSURING GUESTS SAVOR MUCH MORE THAN A MEAL.

A Modern Setting with Warmth and Style

La Luce is designed to impress from the moment guests step inside. The restaurant’s interior reflects a modern, sleek aesthetic, striking a balance between sophistication and a warm, convivial atmosphere. At its center is the wood-fired pizza oven, which not only anchors the space visually but also fills it with inviting aromas that immediately transport diners to the heart of Italy. Elegant lighting fixtures, contemporary furniture, and clean architectural lines contribute to an ambiance that feels polished yet approachable. Whether it’s couples seeking a romantic evening, families enjoying quality time together, or groups of friends gathering for a lively night, the atmosphere provides just the right balance of refinement and ease.

Italian Classics Reimagined

The menu at La Luce celebrates Mediterranean cuisine with dishes that highlight freshness, quality, and authenticity. Guests can indulge in wood-fired pizzas, where perfectly blistered crusts and rustic toppings capture the charm of Italian trattorias. Freshly prepared pasta, ranging from delicate seafood-infused creations to hearty classics, showcases the kitchen’s versatility.

brightness. The culinary offerings are supported by a thoughtful beverage menu: Italian wines poured by the carafe, refreshing spritzes, and a full cocktail list that pays homage to Italian tradition. Non-alcoholic options round out the selection, ensuring every guest can find the perfect pairing for their meal.

Smart-Casual Dining with All-Inclusive Access

La Luce embraces a smart-casual dress code, encouraging guests to enjoy an elevated dining experience without the constraints of formal attire. A key part of its appeal is its integration into Hilton Cancun’s all-inclusive offering. Unlike many upscale dining destinations that require an additional cost, La Luce delivers its à la carte menu within the resort’s inclusive package. This makes it accessible to all guests while maintaining the sense of exclusivity and refinement expected from a top-tier restaurant. The combination of high-quality cuisine and inclusive value sets La Luce apart within the competitive Cancun dining scene.

Service That Puts Guests First

One of La Luce’s defining qualities is the attentiveness of its service. The team is both friendly and knowledgeable, striking a balance that makes diners feel comfortable while still maintaining professionalism. Servers are well-versed in the menu and eager to recommend dishes or suggest wine pairings that enhance the dining experience. Special requests, whether dietary accommodations or customized preferences, are welcomed with ease. This emphasis on

guest satisfaction reinforces the sense of care and consideration that makes La Luce more than just another restaurant within a resort, it is a dining destination.

Culinary Mastery at Work

The expertise of La Luce’s chefs shines through in every plate. Rooted in traditional Italian cooking techniques, their approach incorporates modern interpretations that keep the menu dynamic and relevant. Using high-quality ingredients, they bring forward the rich, bold flavors that Italian cuisine is celebrated for. The woodfired oven adds a sense of tradition while also ensuring authenticity in both taste and presentation. Each dish, from a simple Margherita pizza to an elaborate pasta, is elevated by the precision and creativity of the culinary team. Guests are left with flavors that resonate long after their dining experience concludes.

Looking Ahead

The recognition received by La Luce is not viewed as a finish line but as motivation for continued evolution. The restaurant’s success inspires its team to refine the dining experience further, ensuring that each guest leaves with lasting impressions of quality, flavor, and atmosphere. With its growing reputation, La Luce is poised to attract even more global attention, inviting travelers from around the world to discover its unique blend of Italian authenticity and modern style.

GERMANY A SUMMIT OF TASTE: MOUNTAIN HUB GOURMET BRINGS ALPINE SOUL TO GLOBAL FINE DINING

MOUNTAIN HUB GOURMET HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE TOP 100 RESTAURANTS OF THE WORLD 2025 BY LUXURY LIFESTYLE AWARDS, CELEBRATING ITS REFINED INTERPRETATION OF ALPINE-INSPIRED CUISINE AND COSMOPOLITAN SPIRIT. LOCATED WITHIN THE HILTON MUNICH AIRPORT, THIS FINE DINING DESTINATION TRANSCENDS EXPECTATIONS, OFFERING TRAVELERS AND LOCALS ALIKE AN EXPERIENCE WHERE GASTRONOMY MEETS THE ESSENCE OF NATURE, ELEVATED BY ARTISTRY, AUTHENTICITY, AND A DISTINCT SENSE OF PLACE.

The Essence of the Alps, Elevated to Excellence

At Mountain Hub Gourmet, Head Chef Marcel Tauschek and his team invite guests on a refined exploration of the Alpine landscape through taste and texture. Each dish tells a story of connection, to the land, to the seasons, and to the people who bring its ingredients to life. From the crisp freshness of mountain herbs to the depth of locally sourced meats and dairy, the menu reflects both tradition and innovation in perfect rhythm.

The restaurant’s setting beside Munich Airport offers a rare paradox of moments of tranquility and indulgence at the crossroads of global travel. Guests step into a calm, elegant space where natural materials and sophisticated design elements mirror the Alpine world outside, creating a dining atmosphere that feels both grounding and inspiring.

A Menu That Celebrates Nature’s Diversity

The philosophy at Mountain Hub Gourmet is rooted in purity and authenticity. Every course embodies the idea of “from the Alps to the world”, an interplay of regional produce and international refinement. Seasonal menus change to reflect the freshest harvests, ensuring that the dining experience is always evolving.

Highlights include a multi-course fine dining experience that can range from four to six courses, offering guests a series of expressive dishes that harmonize modern flair with deep respect for regional identity. The vegetarian menu, designed with equal care, demonstrates how

creativity and sustainability can meet at the highest level of gastronomy, showcasing the same sophistication and delight without compromise.

The restaurant also caters to those with limited time but unlimited taste, through its à la carte and business lunch options. Whether savoring a three-course midday meal or an extended evening of discovery, guests experience the same level of precision and flair that has made the Mountain Hub name synonymous with elevated dining.

The Vision of Head Chef Marcel Tauschek

Chef Marcel Tauschek leads the kitchen with passion and precision, transforming Alpine heritage into a cosmopolitan expression of fine dining. His approach celebrates the simplicity of great ingredients while introducing inventive touches that surprise and captivate. Tauschek’s dishes are known for their balance, elegant yet approachable, grounded yet imaginative.

His culinary philosophy reflects the dual nature of the restaurant’s setting: regional authenticity meeting international openness. With every plate, Tauschek bridges cultures and palates, offering travelers a taste of Bavaria infused with global inspiration. The result is cuisine that feels intimate yet expansive, food that tells a story of mountains, movement, and mastery.

Where Hospitality Meets Altitude

At the core of the Mountain Hub experience is a spirit of genuine hospitality. Under the care of host Emilio Kesenheimer, every visit becomes a personal encounter. Guests are welcomed not just as diners but as part of a larger community, an open, dynamic “hub” where conversations, flavors, and cultures intersect.

The attentive service, coupled with a refined yet relaxed atmosphere, invites guests to linger, to connect, and to celebrate. Whether dining under the soft light of evening or on the terrace overlooking the airport’s striking architecture, the experience is one of calm sophistication, a rare moment of elevation amid the rhythm of modern travel.

A Lifestyle Beyond Dining

Mountain Hub Gourmet forms part of a larger constellation of experiences at Hilton Munich Airport, including Mountain Hub Social Dining, the Distillers Bar, and the rejuvenating Mountain Hub Spa. Together, they embody a philosophy that life’s finest moments are meant to be savored through good food, good company, and a sense of adventure.

At Mountain Hub Social Dining, guests enjoy a more relaxed yet equally inspired take on modern Bavarian cuisine, emphasizing connection and comfort. Meanwhile, the spa and event spaces extend the restaurant’s philosophy of mindful enjoyment, making the venue a destination not only for travelers in transit but for those seeking authentic moments of pleasure and rest.

A Star Above Munich

Mountain Hub Gourmet continues to elevate Munich’s fine dining scene, standing as a symbol of what modern gastronomy can achieve when artistry meets authenticity. Here, Alpine character meets global vision, where every dish, every ingredient, and every detail reflects the pursuit of something extraordinary.

In a world where travel connects us all, Mountain Hub Gourmet serves as a reminder that true luxury lies in simplicity refined, in experiences that awaken the senses, and in flavors that linger long after the meal ends.

COLOMBIA RESTAURANT 1621: A CULINARY LEGEND REBORN IN CARTAGENA

STEP THROUGH THE CARVED WOODEN DOORS OF SOFITEL LEGEND

SANTA CLARA CARTAGENA, AND YOU STEP INTO A LIVING TAPESTRY OF HISTORY. ONCE A CLOISTER WHERE THE CLARISAS SISTERS LIVED IN QUIET DEVOTION BEGINNING IN THE YEAR 1621, THE BUILDING STILL CARRIES WHISPERS OF CANDLELIT PRAYERS AND CENTURIES-OLD SECRETS ETCHED INTO ITS WALLS. TODAY, THOSE SAME WALLS ECHO WITH A DIFFERENT KIND OF REVERENCE—THE REVERENCE OF DINERS SAVORING ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST EXTRAORDINARY CULINARY EXPERIENCES: RESTAURANT 1621.

Named after the year the convent was founded, Restaurant 1621 has become a sanctuary for haute cuisine, weaving together French precision and Colombian soul in a setting as romantic as it is historic. It is little wonder that in 2025, Luxury Lifestyle Awards honored 1621 as one of the TOP 100 Restaurants of the World, placing it in the rarefied company of dining’s global elite.

A Dining Experience Steeped

in Legend

To dine at Restaurant 1621 is to dine within a story. The ambiance is nothing short of spellbinding: flickering candles, vaulted ceilings, and a courtyard perfumed with jasmine. The intimacy of the space, bathed in soft golden light, makes every evening feel like an unforgettable occasion, whether it’s a proposal whispered over dessert, a celebration of milestones, or simply an indulgence in the artistry of flavor.

The atmosphere is more than elegant; it is transportive. Guests find themselves suspended between centuries, surrounded by the colonial beauty of the Santa Clara cloister yet carried into the present by contemporary sophistication and detail.

The Artistry of Chef Dominique Oudin

At the heart of this legend is Executive Chef Dominique Oudin, a master of culinary storytelling. His menus are edible narratives, created with French technique yet deeply rooted in Colombian terroir. Every dish reveals a dialogue between continents: a delicate seafood creation lifted by Caribbean zest, or a tender cut of meat infused with the earthy richness of the Andes.

Oudin’s tasting menus, whether six or ten carefully orchestrated courses, unfold like chapters in a novel, each one surprising, each one essential to the whole. A sea bass arrives with bright, artistic swirls of purées; a tenderloin glistens under a reduction that hints of local cacao. Each plate is not just food but poetry, composed with texture, color, and flavor as its verse.

Perfect Pairings

No great story is complete without its soundtrack, and at Restaurant 1621, the wine cellar provides the score. Recognized by Wine Spectator for its excellence, the cellar holds treasures from both Old and New Worlds. Each dish is matched with wines that don’t merely complement, they converse. Guests find themselves savoring pairings so flawless that the line between glass and plate blurs into one harmonious experience.

Service as a Fine Art

Luxury lies not only in what is served but in how it is delivered. The team at Restaurant 1621 approaches hospitality as an art form, attentive yet never intrusive, warm yet flawlessly professional. Every interaction is designed to make guests feel not like patrons, but like cherished friends. Preferences are remembered, requests anticipated, and dietary needs transformed into opportunities for creativity.

It is this fusion of thoughtful detail and genuine care that makes a meal at 1621 linger long after the last sip of wine.

Global Recognition, Local Soul

The world has taken notice. Restaurant 1621 has earned accolades across continents, from Tripadvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best, where it was once ranked the second-best fine dining restaurant in the world, to glowing reviews from diners who call it “the best dining experience of my life.” Its latest recognition, a coveted place among the TOP 100 Restaurants of the World, 2025, cements its role not just as a Colombian treasure, but as a global culinary destination.

And yet, for all its acclaim, 1621 remains deeply tied to Cartagena’s essence. Its menus celebrate Colombia’s biodiversity, its service reflects the warmth of its people, and its historic setting anchors it to a past as rich as its flavors.

A Destination for Moments That Matter

Whether it is a romantic escape, a gathering of friends, or a personal pilgrimage in pursuit of the finest dining, Restaurant 1621 offers more than a meal—it offers a memory. Here, luxury is not defined by excess, but by meaning: by the ability to connect people to place, to history, to flavor, and to each other.

As the night ends and guests step back into the Cartagena evening, the memory of Restaurant 1621 endures, like the lingering note of a perfect wine, or the echo of a whispered secret in the ancient cloister’s halls.

Conclusion

With centuries of history as its backdrop and innovation as its guiding star, Restaurant 1621 is one of the world’s finest restaurants, as well as a destination where past and present converge, where luxury is felt in every detail, and where dining becomes an unforgettable journey. Its place among the TOP 100 Restaurants of the World, 2025 is recognition of a legend still being written, one exquisite course at a time.

SANSARA – A ROYAL INDIAN CULINARY JOURNEY BY THE WATERFRONT

SANSARA SITS GRACEFULLY ON THE SINGAPORE RIVER, PART OF THE REJUVENATED GRAND COPTHORNE WATERFRONT HOTEL SINGAPORE, OFFERING A FINE -DINING ENCOUNTER ROOTED IN NORTH INDIA’S RICH CULINARY TRADITIONS. ITS NAME, DERIVED FROM SANSKRIT MEANING “TO FLOW”, REFLECTS THE RESTAURANT’S ETHOS: FOOD AND CULTURE IN CONTINUOUS, EVOLVING DIALOGUE. NAMED AMONG LUXURY LIFESTYLE AWARDS’ TOP 100 RESTAURANTS OF THE WORLD, IT ALSO ENJOYS HIGH PRAISE FROM TRIPADVISOR AND TATLER ASIA FOR ITS AUTHENTIC NORTH INDIAN JOURNEY.

Master Chef Pannalal Nath, originally from West Bengal and with more than 25 years of experience across North India, leads the kitchen. His devotion to Awadhi cuisine, a legacy influenced by Mughal, Turkish, and Persian traditions, is evident in dishes that balance classic textures with modern presentation. Under his guidance, SanSara weaves ingredients like saffron, ghee, and fine spices into thoughtfully composed plates where each element contributes to a harmonious narrative on the palate.

The dining environment reinforces its culinary storytelling. Set along the riverbank, with glass-wall seating with a few tables offering outdoor views, the restaurant fosters a calm, thoughtful ambiance. The décor is refined yet understated: polished textures, soft lighting, and minimalistic accents honour North Indian heritage without distraction.

Tasting menus bring SanSara’s story to life. A preview of the à la carte offerings presents a refined exploration of royal North Indian cuisine. Signature highlights include Gosht Ki Galouti, a melt-in-the-mouth lamb kebab; Nasila Dungar Laal Maas, a fiery Rajasthani-style smoky lamb shank curry; and Sailana Shevand, a luxurious lobster preparation infused with royal-style spices. For a vegetarian indulgence, Sarson Ka Saag paired with Makki Di Roti offers a nostalgic nod to Punjabi tradition. The Tali Scallops, delicately pan-seared with coastal Indian spices, introduce a vibrant seafood note, while the much-lauded Shahi Gosht Dum Biryani—slow-cooked lamb layered with saffron-tinged basmati rice—continues to reign as a timeless centerpiece.

Service here is often described as warm, knowledgeable, and attentive. Servers assist with meal pacing and can recommend wine or cocktail pairings. Indeed, SanSara offers a creative drinks list: cocktails like the Old Mumbai (based on Amrut Fusion whiskey) and Nimbu Pani infused with Indian craft gin. Seasonal selections such as Indian whisky pairings elevate the meal, especially during festival periods like Diwali.

SanSara’s public reputation was cemented less than a year after opening. SanSara has consistently been recognized as one of Singapore’s top Indian restaurants on Tripadvisor. The restaurant has also been featured in Tatler Asia as one of the city’s finest Indian dining destinations, praised for its refined North Indian culinary story and elegant atmosphere.

From 19 May to 31 July 2025, the restaurant underwent renovations and paused operations, officially reopening on 1 August. This downtime is part of a broader hotel refurbishment, and fresh

enhancements to the atmosphere and menu are anticipated upon return.

SanSara offers a deeply immersive regional experience anchored in historical tradition and storytelling. It distinguishes itself with a vibrant, richly spiced menu that pairs well with curated drinks and a setting that’s elegant yet accessible.

SanSara’s strengths lie in its authenticity, approachable yet refined North Indian cuisine, and scenic riverside ambience, elevated by responsive service and thoughtful drink pairings. Its inclusion among the Luxury Lifestyle Awards’ Top 100 Restaurants of the World feels entirely deserved. Whether for a business lunch, intimate dinner, festive celebration or friendship gathering, SanSara delivers an experience that resonates long after the last bite.

Recently refurbished and reopened in August 2025, SanSara continues to set expectations for regional North Indian fine dining in Singapore.

THAILAND

THE SOUL OF SOUTHERN THAI CUISINE, PERFECTED AT SIRI RESTAURANT

SIRI RESTAURANT HAS EARNED ITS PLACE AMONG THE LUXURY LIFESTYLE AWARDS TOP 100 RESTAURANTS OF THE WORLD, A DISTINCTION THAT CELEBRATES ITS MASTERY IN PRESENTING AUTHENTIC THAI CUISINE AND LOCAL PHUKET FAVOURITES TO AN INTERNATIONAL STANDARD. KNOWN FOR DISHES THAT BALANCE TRADITION WITH FRESH INSPIRATION, THE RESTAURANT IS A PROUD SHOWCASE OF SOUTHERN THAILAND’S CULINARY WEALTH.

Located on the ground floor of Amatara Welleisure Resort, Siri Restaurant offers guests a vibrant dining experience both indoors and outdoors, with seating for 50 inside and 30 on the terrace. Its inviting atmosphere is matched by a menu that draws deeply from Phuket’s rich history and the abundant produce of the Andaman Sea.

A Celebration of Southern Thai Flavours

The restaurant’s signature Gaeng Pooh Mee Hoon captures the soul of the region. This Southern Thai red curry features tender crab meat sourced directly from the Andaman Sea, simmered in coconut milk infused with betel leaves, and served alongside vermicelli noodles. This dish, rooted in local tradition, is both comfortingly familiar to locals and a delightful discovery for international guests.

Beyond this star offering, the menu honours Phuket’s heritage as a cultural crossroads. Influences from Thai, Portuguese, and Chinese culinary traditions appear in dishes that tell the story of the island’s diverse past. Each plate reflects not only the chef’s skill but also a deep respect for the authenticity of flavours.

Dining Options for Every Moment

While dinners at Siri showcase the depth of Thai cuisine, mornings bring a different charm. Guests can enjoy an American-style breakfast buffet, accompanied by a range of hot dishes prepared to order. Whether one prefers fresh tropical fruit, flaky pastries, or a hot Thai breakfast, the restaurant ensures variety without compromising on freshness. Customisation is an important part of the dining experience here. Dietary preferences, whether vegetarian, gluten-free, or spice level adjustments, are readily accommodated, ensuring that every guest’s needs are thoughtfully met.

A Setting to Savour

Smart casual is the dress code, a perfect match for the relaxed yet refined atmosphere. Inside, the décor embraces warm tones that invite conversation, while the outdoor seating lets diners enjoy Phuket’s natural beauty and sea breezes. The restaurant’s location within a luxury resort means that guests can pair their meal with spa experiences, beach walks, or simply a sunset cocktail before dinner.

Whether visiting for a romantic dinner, a family gathering, or a solo meal after a day of exploration, Siri offers an environment that makes every occasion feel special.

Accessible Luxury

Price points between THB 300 and 890 make Siri an appealing choice for both locals seeking a high-quality dining experience and travellers looking to taste the region’s authentic dishes without excessive formality. The value lies not only in the quality of ingredients but also in the care and attention given to presentation and service.

Recognition Beyond Phuket

The honour of being named among the TOP 100 Restaurants of the World places Siri in the global spotlight. This recognition reflects the restaurant’s ability to create memorable dining experiences that resonate with guests from around the world while staying true to Phuket’s roots. It’s a celebration not just for the restaurant, but for Southern Thai cuisine as a whole.

Authenticity with a Modern Touch

The chefs at Siri respect tradition while also keeping an eye on contemporary tastes. The menu highlights seasonal ingredients and sources locally whenever possible, ensuring that dishes are as fresh as they are flavourful. The result is an experience that feels both grounded in history and alive with the possibilities of modern dining.

Why Siri Stands Out

Many restaurants attempt to balance authenticity with accessibility, but few achieve the harmony found at Siri. Its success lies in its confident presentation of dishes that are true to their origins yet inviting to international palates. The team understands that food is more than just taste - it’s memory, connection, and cultural storytelling served on a plate.

Experience Siri for Yourself

For travellers to Phuket and locals alike, Siri offers more than just a meal; it’s a way to experience the island’s heritage through its flavours. From its award-winning reputation to its welcoming setting, every detail is designed to create an experience worth remembering.

SAUDI ARABIA A CULINARY POEM IN MOTION: THE ENCHANTING EXPERIENCE OF TAKARA RESTAURANT

TAKARA RESTAURANT, IN THE VIBRANT AL KHOBAR, IS A LUXURY DINING DESTINATION THAT, SINCE ITS OPENING IN DECEMBER 2019, HAS QUIETLY YET DECISIVELY RESHAPED THE LANDSCAPE OF FINE JAPANESE CUISINE IN SAUDI ARABIA. ITS NAME, TAKARA, MEANING “TREASURE”, APTLY CONVEYS THE RESTAURANT’S MISSION: TO CREATE MOMENTS OF DELIGHT AND REFINEMENT, WHERE EACH PLATE IS A GEM IN ITS OWN RIGHT.

In 2025, this distinction earned Takara a place among the TOP 100 Restaurants in the World, as recognized by the Luxury Lifestyle Awards. That honor is a testimony to the restaurant’s sustained ambition, its careful balance of tradition and innovation, and its capacity to leave a lasting impression on the global luxuryhospitality stage.

A Setting That Whispers Elegance

From the moment a guest steps through Takara’s threshold, the space speaks of intention. The interior is an artful weave of contemporary minimalism and evocative Japanese motifs: golden bamboo installations, refined lighting, and quiet, thoughtful touches evoke calm yet remain visually captivating. The effect is immersive and poised, a sanctuary for the senses before the first course even arrives.

Private dining areas and event settings are handled with equal care: tailored menus, bespoke service, and a sense that every gathering, whether intimate or grand, is anchored in care and detail.

Culinary Philosophy: Respect, Innovation, Depth

At its core, Takara is built on a profound respect for Japanese culinary tradition—not simply imitation, but reinvention with thought and reverence. Under the direction of internationally masterful chefs, the kitchen reinterprets classical techniques through a lens of creativity. A defining trait of Takara’s menu is its focus on locally sourced ingredients, from fresh seafood and seasonal vegetables to regional spices like za’ata.

Signature dishes have become legendary in the region. The Kunafa Shrimp Tempura, a creative fusion that bridges Japanese tempura with the texture and spirit of kunafa, is one such example. The Wagyu on Hot Stone, Black Cod Miso, and refined sushi and sashimi offerings similarly balance bold purity and delicate nuance.

What’s more, Takara’s menu has remained remarkably consistent since its inception—a sign, paradoxically, of both confidence and discipline. This consistency allows loyal guests to return to familiar favorites, while seasonal and occasional innovations keep the experience fresh.

Service as a Quiet Art

In a restaurant that aspires to deeper resonance, service must preempt, read, and adapt. Takara’s service is attentive yet discreet, warm yet effortlessly refined. Many reviews celebrate this poise, where care and comfort coexist seamlessly.

The attention to detail extends into accommodating dietary preferences and event customizations, ensuring that each visit, whether regular or special, feels uniquely tailored.

Recognition and Growth

Takara’s trajectory has been steady and deliberate. In 2024, it garnered multiple honors, including:

• 100 Best Restaurants in the World – Luxury Lifestyle Awards

• Saudi Arabia’s Best Restaurant at the World Culinary Awards

• Best Luxury Japanese Cuisine in Al Khobar and accolades in the hospitality industry within Saudi Arabia

By 2025, these accolades deepened: Takara received the title of Best Luxury Japanese Restaurant in Saudi Arabia from Luxury Lifestyle Awards.

These recognitions are markers on a deliberate path. Takara Hospitality Group, along with its portfolio of diverse culinary brands, is expanding with new branches planned for Riyadh and Jeddah by 2026, and further extension across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region in the near future.

In the Eyes of Guests & Critics

Reviewers and diners often speak in superlatives but also with nuance. One TripAdvisor reviewer lauds Takara as “the best Japanese in the Eastern Province,” praising the freshness and flavor of the food even while acknowledging that price points are at the premium end.

Arab News describes a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere, a menu that reinvents Western concepts (such as wagyu tacos) alongside authentic staples, and a curated selection of sushi, sashimi, and signature creations like crispy salad and miso soup.

Timeout Riyadh highlights Takara’s seasonal menus and focuses on standout dishes such as the Kunafa Shrimp and Wagyu on Hot Stone, and Truffle Breeze Maki.

Good Food Middle East frames Takara as reimagining Japanese fine dining in Saudi Arabia, noting its success in morphing aesthetic, technical skill, and consistency.

Why Takara Resonates

What sets Takara apart is not just its food, design, or even its awards; it is the coherence, the conviction behind every decision. At Takara:

• Heritage and modernity coexist, not by compromise, but by dialogue.

• Every dish has intention—nothing feels superfluous.

• Guests are not spectators, but participants in a carefully choreographed experience.

• Growth is measured; expansion will carry forward the same spirit rather than dilute it.

To dine at Takara is to acknowledge that a restaurant can be a living, breathing canvas of human care, technique, and beauty.

For luxury travelers, gourmets, or culture-seekers, Takara offers not just exquisite Japanese cuisine, but a memory. In 2025, as one of the world’s top 100 restaurants, Takara is a worthy destination for any discerning diner.

WHERE ARTISTRY MEETS

ATMOSPHERE: INSIDE TANG ASIAN LUXURY RESTAURANT & BAR

ACROSS SOUTH AFRICA’S MOST CELEBRATED DINING DESTINATIONS, TANG ASIAN LUXURY RESTAURANT & BAR STANDS AS A DISTINCTIVE EXPRESSION OF CONTEMPORARY ASIAN ELEGANCE, PROUDLY RECOGNIZED AMONG THE TOP 100 RESTAURANTS OF THE WORLD BY LUXURY LIFESTYLE AWARDS. THE BRAND UNITES THE SENSORY ALLURE OF JAPANESE IZAKAYA TRADITIONS WITH THE DEPTH AND REFINEMENT OF CLASSIC CANTONESE CUISINE, CREATING AN EXPERIENCE THAT IS EQUAL PARTS CULINARY EXCELLENCE AND EMOTIONAL CONNECTION.

A Philosophy Rooted in Story and Sensation

TANG is guided by the spirit of the Tang Dynasty, an era remembered for beauty, creativity, and a deep appreciation for the senses. That ethos is woven into every aspect of the dining journey. Guests step into spaces that feel immersive rather than ostentatious, where refined design frames each occasion and subtle theatricality enhances the experience without overpowering it. Whether overlooking Cape Town’s iconic waterfront or positioned above the vibrancy of a city square, TANG’s venues feel intentional, sophisticated, and unmistakably memorable.

The Culinary Narrative

The core of TANG lies in its dual culinary heritage. Japanese izakaya dining celebrates sharing, community, and layered simplicity, while Cantonese cuisine offers complexity, cultural richness, and centuries of tradition. Together, these influences create a menu that speaks to craft and clarity rather than excess. Plates are meticulously assembled to balance delicacy with impact, with flavors that are bold, precise, and thoughtfully structured.

Technique That Honors Tradition

The restaurant’s commitment to authenticity is evident in its kitchen philosophy. The robata grill delivers depth and smokiness that cannot be replicated by modern shortcuts, grounding dishes in ancient culinary practice. Woks play an equally essential role, enabling speed, heat control, and flavor concentration that define the restaurant’s signature style. These methods are not nostalgic gestures; they are the foundation of consistency, excellence, and character.

Crafted Beverages to Match the Experience

The beverage offering at TANG complements the cuisine with the same sense of intention. Signature cocktails are designed with narrative focus, celebrating emotion, memory, and presence. Alongside this are refined selections of Japanese sake, whisky, beers, and an impressive global wine program that includes renowned South African vintages and exceptional champagnes. Every glass is chosen with purpose, enhancing rather than competing with the culinary experience.

Hospitality Elevated Through Personalization

Service at TANG reflects respect, warmth, and precision. Guests are greeted with ritual, welcomed with sincerity, and guided through an experience that feels curated rather than scripted. The team anticipates needs, accommodates preferences, and elevates celebrations with thoughtful gestures, from bespoke

cocktails to personalized dining touches. Each visit is shaped to feel significant, ensuring guests do not simply dine, but remember.

Leadership, Craft, and Signature Moments

Led by accomplished culinary expertise, TANG champions ingredients handled with care and reverence. Signature dishes such as refined sashimi selections, expertly grilled meats, and intricate Cantonese classics demonstrate technical mastery while maintaining soulful depth. Every element, from presentation to flavor progression, contributes to a dining experience that feels immersive and complete.

Defining Modern Luxury

Luxury at TANG is never loud. It is experienced through comfort, sensory immersion, emotional resonance, and respect for craftsmanship. The brand also embraces progress, championing responsible dining philosophies such as zerowaste initiatives while continuing to innovate in technique and presentation. Since its inception, TANG has captured the attention of discerning diners by staying true to its vision, earning loyalty through authenticity rather than spectacle.

TANG Asian Luxury Restaurant & Bar offers more than a meal. It offers a moment of escape, a celebration of artistry, and a reaffirmation that true luxury lives in detail, warmth, and intention.
