Who? The Matsuri What? A restaurant that’s been at the heart of London for more than two decades is a rare find but that’s just one of the accolades that that The Matsuri holds.

With two sets of sommeliers (one for wine and wine for sake) and a whole team of specialist chefs, here is where you’ll find some of the heartiest sushi, tempura and teppanyaki. When? Open year round Where? 15 Bury Street, London SW1Y 6AL How? For more information, see…
Who? La Coopérative at Riberach Hotel What? With almost nothing around for miles except vineyards, Riberach is surely one hotel restaurant that focuses on wine.

Relatively unknown right now, it’s certainly one to watch. When? Open year round Where? 2a, Route de Caladroy, 66720 Belesta, France How? For more information, see www.riberach.com Fly via Air France
