FRENCHIE
Some of our reviewers are surprised when they find a bit of New York restaurant sensibility at Gregory Marchand’s restaurant. Well, they shouldn’t be: Marchand spent a number of years working at Gramercy Tavern under Michael Anthony. This is currently one of the most difficult tables to secure in all of Paris.

DÔME
Those who need to rejuvenate after spending a morning (and all of their cash) in Antwerp’s Diamond Quarter should head to Julien Burlat’s restaurant to enjoy a lunch of carpaccio of smoked loin of veal with sea urchin mayonnaise, and pigeon from the Vendée with fresh peas and broad beans with sage.

GEIST
Bo Bech looks more likely to be a member of the Danish national rowing team than a chef. But it appears that Bech has a sentimental side, which manifests itself in contemporary versions of Danish comfort food, like brown stone crab with mashed potatoes and salted butter.

LE MANOIR AUX QUAT'SAISONS
Those in the U.K. who are looking to recreate the type of regional dining experience that is common in France, where a chef and his family run a restaurant in a renovated chateau, should visit “the dean of French cuisine in Britain” at this lovely manor house outside Oxford.
