  3. Perched on a mountainside nearly 500 meters up, this Zen-inspired Japanese restaurant frames lush hills by day and city lights by night through its immaculate gardens. Inside, a 10-course omakase built on kaiseki traditions unfolds with tea rituals woven between dishes, and the team narrates each course with enough context that it feels like a seminar you didn't want to skip. The kind of meal that earns its altitude.

  8. Rank 3. Torien Yakitori

    Yakitori Japanese

    A dinky Japanese garden leads into a yakitori counter where local chickens, prepped fresh each day, go over the grill with nothing but salt so each cut can argue for itself. The chef spent time honing the craft in Japan, and the set menu moves through cuts most people have never thought to order. Counter seats watch the kitchen the whole time, which is half the point. Call ahead if you want chicken sashimi or squab.

      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.
