The Terme di Saturnia Spa & Golf Resort in Tuscany, Italy, features two high-quality restaurants in the Aqualuce and All’Acquacotta, with the latter being awarded a Michelin star. The centrepiece to this restaurant is traditional cuisine, with a twist by Chef Alessandro Bocci in a new healthy menu using super-local ingredients. This refinement allows you to really enjoy the noblest of Italian regional cuisine.

The fact this is the only restaurant in Scotland to hold two Michelin stars, arguably makes it simply the best restaurant in the country. As one of Britain’s most celebrated chef’s, Andrew Fairlie’s restaurant will live long in the memory thanks to sumptuous food in a delightful setting. His signature dish? Smoked lobster, with its intense smokiness coming from a five-hour infusion over whisky barrel chips, of course.

The list of accolades that the restaurants at the Park Hyatt Dubai have gathered is endless, with the Traiteur Brunch and The Thai Kitchen being the stand-out duo.

With 13 restaurants and bars, you are spoilt for choice at the Ritz-Carlton Abama in Tenerife, but we would suggest trying the M.B restaurant and the Abama Kabuki, as between them they hold three Michelin stars. The M.B restaurant holds two of the three Michelin stars, and the creative cuisine is skilfully prepared by chef Martin Berasategui using top-quality ingredients. The Abama Kabuki has its own Michelin star and offers a fusion of traditional Japanese influences and modern western culinary techniques, in a stunning location.

The gourmet Michelin star La Faventia restaurant at Terre Blanche is where contemporary French gastronomy is enjoyed at its best. The refined and creative cuisine is inspired by the seasons, the Provencal land and local products, and is matched with the most beautiful local and vintage wines, which is all enhanced on the terrace by the sweeping views over the Pays de Fayence villages.

Along with its Three AA Rosettes, Humphry’s restaurant at Stoke Park also holds many other awards. The restaurant serves modern British food with a twist, as well as exquisite signature dishes.

Finally, Humphry’s was awarded “Best Fine Dining Restaurant” at the 2016 Buckinghamshire Food and Drink Awards.
