  8. Smoke from the cooking pits reaches you before the menu does. This semi-open-air restaurant sits on a mountainside outside the city, framed by green hills, and the kitchen's centerpiece is lamb slow-cooked for a full day in rice wine and a rotating blend of Chinese herbs, tuned warmer in winter and cooler in summer. The broth is dark and medicinal in the best way. Wild greens and game meats round things out, and the savory rice runs weekends only.

      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.
