  1. Counter seating and green leather make Thevar look like a moodily lit sports bar, but the food arrives from a different universe. The chef trained under Guy Savoy and channels Penang childhood memories and Indian heritage into modern dishes that are lighter than tradition but uncompromising on spice. It holds two Michelin stars and a spot on Asia's 50 Best, and earns both quietly, without the pomp you might expect.

    Indian Barbecue

    The custom-built tawa, the hand-built tandoor, and an open fire give the kitchen at this modern Indian restaurant on Tras Street more heat sources than most places have cooks. The sunken open kitchen is the real draw, which is awkward for the much-celebrated silver-and-black dining room behind it. Bold seasonal cooking comes off the woodfire rig in combinations that lean confidently away from tradition. A chef's table rounds things out for those who want a front-row seat to the smoke.

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      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.
