  3. The charcoal robata grill does real work here, turning out duck breast and Wagyu alongside a raw bar stocked with kingfish and sea urchin. Ippin is a Japanese dining room inside West Village that leans into the full spread, from tempura through to sashimi to grilled mains, in surrounds that feel dressed-up without being stiff. One Chef Hat from the Australian Good Food Guide. Probably not the place for a quick midweek ramen fix.

  4. Refined Japanese dining in a Spring Hill terrace, where the kitchen treats each plate as something closer to a still life than a meal. The team brings serious international training to bear on seasonal seafood and produce, with the kind of attention to temperature and texture that suggests they'd notice if you ate in the wrong order. It holds a One Chef Hat from the Australian Good Food Guide, and the room takes the whole thing as seriously as the food does.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
