If you could eat an authentic, exquisite dish in a different country for each meal of the day, where would your tastebuds direct you? Read on for some dream menu inspiration from around the globe.
Breakfast in India
If you love to start the day with a beautiful, butter-rich pancake, challenge your connoisseurship with a South Indian twist. Deliciously light and lacy, appam is Kerala’s contribution to the griddlecake hall of fame, pairing perfectly with sambar, coconut chutney, or a tangy thali of mango and prawn. If this doesn’t quite sound like your cup of chai, hop across the border into Tamil Nadu for a comforting bowl of sweet pongal. This spiced, gingery porridge of yellow lentils and rice is literally the food of the gods.
Fly into Trivandrum International Airport (TRV). It’s a short drive to the palatial Villa Maya, and you'll find one of the best South Indian breakfasts around.
Lunch in Peru
To refresh the palate, there’s nothing like meltingly fresh, lime-drenched ceviche, straight from the Pacific. Lima is awash with cebichería, but no one elevates this national dish like husband-and-wife super-chefs Virgilio Martínez and Pia León. Showcasing Peru’s diverse ingredients, regions, and traditions, Central was justly named ‘Best Restaurant in the World’ by the World’s 50 Best List last year. Try the Amazonian Ceviche for an incomparable pairing of freshwater fish and rainforest foraging. Finish the meal in style with their lip-smacking Pisco Sour sorbet. So chévere, as they say in these parts.
Fly into Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM) and be swept along the Playas de Costa Verda by air-conditioned limo up to Central and the finest ceviche.
Dinner in Japan
Historically, sushi bars had no menus. Those in the know still request omakase. Meaning “I trust you,” it’s unrivalled for epicurean interactivity. Expect to be presented with whatever the chef decides is most seasonal, delectable, and in tune with their philosophy, as well as your response to each dish. It’s an exhilarating way to dine, but if you would prefer to know what’s coming, the more high-end kaiseki would deliver a tasting experience without the reckless abandon. The most authentic setting is a traditional ryokan, with impeccable hospitality and on-site hot springs. Try the gorgeous Ryokan Kurashiki.
Fly into the waterfront Okayama Airport (OKJ) and in under 45 minutes by road, you’ll be in storybook Kurashiki, in a crook of the historic quarter’s willow-lined canal.
Dessert in Italy
Trend-watchers site gelato flights as the treat of 2025. Tempting new blends continue to emerge, like cardamom and saffron, or affogato laced with whisky or caramel. Where better to end the day than Italy? Eat, Pray, Love put Il Gelato di San Crispino on Rome’s must-try map, though it was already famous for its raspberry lampone and honeyed crema al miele. Too rich? Heinz Beck at the city’s only 3-Michelin-starred restaurant, La Pergola, has concocted Sweet Dreams: a lighter-than-air pillow of white chocolate, chamomile, and lemon verbena, artfully - and metabolically - balanced for the perfect night’s sleep.
