SB Winemaker’s House & Spa Suites from winemaker Susana Balbo in Mendoza, Argentina, invites guests to experience a chef’s table dinner inspired by art. The 14-course menu from chef Flavia Amad Di Leo is inspired by the seven elements of the Tree of Life (the roots, trunk, flowers, birds, branches, fruits and insects) and utilizes Argentinian flavors. A seven-course option is available. Both are paired with Susana Balbo wines.

Tour operator Up Norway recommends an exclusive dining experience inside a floating art installation, “Salmon Eye.” Restaurant Iris, located within “Salmon Eye” in Hardanger fjord, is only accessible by boat. Diners will be delighted by an 18-course meal highlighting hyperlocal ingredients alongside stunning views.

Review: Sushi by Scratch at Grand Hyatt Deer Valley

Husband-and-wife team Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee made their mark by reinventing the term “hidden gem” through their surprising and intentional collection of destination restaurants. While they launched the original Scratch Kitchen in 2013, an expired lease prompted them to relocate to an unassuming strip mall in suburban Encino in 2015 and rename it Scratch Bar & Kitchen. Even at a time when the San Fernando Valley was not known for innovative 5-star dining, the Lees’ concepts gathered such a strong buzz that discerning diners cheerfully followed them “over the hill.”
