Amsterdam
There's some pretty nice restaurants about these days, super-modern and stylishly fitted out, but let's be honest, most of us couldn't live with that style 24/7 - it's quite nice to get home to something more... well, homely. Diners in Amsterdam...

Auckland
Bringing a steaming Vietnamese menu to a cool corner of Auckland, Café Hanoi has certainly been making headlines. A family-run establishment, it was designed by Cheshire Architects. Key to the aesthetic is Cheshire's so-called...
Oakland
We love a bit of confidence here at We Heart, so when Anders Arhøj claimed to have “designed a new universe on a super-low shoestring budget”, we had to take a look. In fact he was talking less creationist cosmology and more brand design,...
Shanghai
Shanghai, the world's biggest city and a figurehead for the super-powered development of China. Re-invention, re-genesis, development, all by-words for the city, and indeed Asia as a whole. So it's a pleasant surprise to find a restaurant in this...
