Cañete, Barcelona
“Bar Cañete in Barcelona is old-school tapas with confidence. Iberian ham, white anchovies, a glass of something cold. It has been there since 1937 and shows no signs of slowing down. I love to go for lunch.”
Beigel Bake, London
“Beigel Bake on Brick Lane has been an institution since 1974. It’s open 24/7 and that matters at 2am. The salt beef beigel is the one. The longest-standing queue in East London is always worth it.”
Can Gourmet Eivissa, Ibiza
“Can Gourmet in Ibiza is the local secret. Everything you’d want for a picnic or a late-night bite: local cheese, cured meats, the best bread. An antidote to the more obvious side of the island.”
Dino’s Bar & Grill, Nashville
“Dino’s is a Nashville dive bar and it’s everything I want from a dive bar. Cold beer, a great jukebox and the kind of atmosphere that makes you feel like you could stay all night. And you probably will.”
Proper Pizza, Prishtina
“Proper Pizza is exactly what it says it is. In Prishtina, having pizza this good probably surprises a lot of people. The crust is right, the toppings are good, and it’s always full of people having a great time.”
Narukiyo, Tokyo
“You walk in and you have absolutely no idea what’s about to happen. There’s no menu, the owner just starts talking to you and, before you know it, food that you didn’t order is arriving and it’s some of the best things you’ve eaten. You just have to surrender to it completely. That’s the whole experience.”
Montague Diner, New York
“The Montague Diner is exactly the New York diner that people imagine when they imagine a New York diner. Open late, no pretension, the kind of comfort food a city should have available at any hour.”
Chocolatería San Ginés, Madrid
“San Gines has been open since 1894. I believe the churros with hot chocolate there is one of the great food rituals of the world. Go after midnight.”
Julius Ernst, Berlin
“Julius Ernst in Berlin is the brunch spot that makes you feel like you earned your morning. Great coffee, beautiful pastries and a very Berlin atmosphere that is somehow both very relaxed and full of intention.”
Maxwell Food Centre, Singapore
“A true Singaporean haven.”
Raan Jai Fai, Bangkok
“Go to Jay Fai. It’s street food, it’s Michelin-starred and the woman running it has been cooking on that same street corner since the 1980s, wearing ski goggles to protect her eyes from the charcoal. They open and stay open till the food runs out. Do not miss the crab omelette.”
Haawm, Bangkok
“Haawm is Bangkok at its absolute best. The grilled meats, the sticky rice, the sauces. It’s the kind of meal that you’re still thinking about on the plane home and honestly probably after that, too.”
