Copenhagen
Seems a tad odd featuring the world's number one restaurant, three years on the trot, and not including images of its food. Surely most will be familiar with René Redzepi's earthily exquisite, food as art creations - carefully foraged produce from...
Caminha
Design and wine. Can you go wrong? The answer, of course, is no - especially when the design is as nice as it is at the Design and Wine Hotel in Caminha, Portugal. It's an 18th Century manor house, and although you wouldn't say the renovation is...
Singapore
I hate websites with sound. Actually, scratch that, I don't just hate them; I loathe them, despise them, they make my blood run cold, coerce me to throw my weighty iMac through the office window... then follow it out and stamp all over its shiny...
Melbourne
Shanghai food is all about slow cooking, so the facelift at Melbourne restaurant David's is perfectly in keeping with the cuisine being created, laid-back, mellow and traditional, but with a modern twist. David's has been delighting diners with...
Sydney
Lots to like about this cocktail bar and restaurant in Sydney, Australia. Like the punchy décor. Like the philosophy behind the place (which seems to be a refined and upmarket venue for a sun's-out, any-excuse, any-time-of-day session). We even...
Panama City
What's DiabloRosso all about?, we hear you ask, as well you may, because at first look it's quite a disparate affair. Three distinct and seemingly unrelated spaces make up this place in Panama City – itself a location that doesn't show up on our...
New York
Fans of all things vintage and East coast American have a new church at which to worship - Brooklyn restaurant Prospect. You don't get much more New York nostalgic than the original Coney Island Boardwalk, and here it is, or bits of it at least -...
Singapore
Already no stranger to British influence, Singaporeans can now enjoy a taste of the other island in the form of Keong Saik Snacks café/bistro - with the unstoppable Jason Atherton at the centre of the action once again. We've featured the...
London
A press release that describes interiors as “edgy” when they are frankly as edgy as a plastic spoon, really get our goat at We Heart, which isn't to say that rock and roll resto-bar Honky Tonk off London's Fulham Road doesn't deserve a gold disc...
Melbourne
You kind of know you are onto a winner when the owner of a restaurant builds the wood-fired pizza oven himself, and happily that's not the only authentic thing about Italian eatery Ladro. With two Melbourne venues in Prahran and Fitzroy, Ladro...
Singapore
According to the firm behind 83 on Club Street, Singapore, they believe “it's better to eat in a bar than drink in a restaurant.” I couldn't disagree more. I hate eating in bars, because it drastically reduces the time I can spend drinking,...
La Rochelle
It's difficult to say exactly what will greet guests when they arrive at La Monnaie Art and Spa Hotel in La Rochelle, France, as the art part changes regularly thanks to a collaboration with a local gallery. What we can say for certain is that the...

City Notes
After a century spent as apartment residences, and following a meticulous two-year transformation, Hotel Granada reopened its Spanish Colonial archways to guests in August 2024. Located at 1302 West Peachtree Street NW, this 120-room property now...

The first impression of your home isn't simply a matter of architectural design or interior decor. Curb appeal, the undeniable charm and allure of a property as viewed from the street, has an inexplicably powerful influence on property value....

In a country where club floors open with Buddhist chants and Ladyboys offer dawn alms in corsets and stilettos, Elizabeth Waterman has found a world of contradictions too vivid to ignore. Over the past three years, and across four extended trips,...

Hard water. It's one of those household nuisances everyone talks about, but what exactly is it, and why is it such a big deal? Essentially, hard water is water that contains high levels of dissolved minerals, primarily calcium and magnesium. These...
