The tables everyone wants
Hotspots & Scene
The reservations that disappear in seconds: Septime, Carbone, Coya, Sublimotion, Orfali Bros and the rooms where the food and the crowd are equally good.
Hotspots are the restaurants a city talks about this year: the bistronomy pioneers, the sharing concepts, the immersive dinners and the glamorous rooms where the guest list is part of the recipe. We include them because they are where dining culture is moving, and we say honestly which ones deserve the hype.
