Favorite Coffee Hangs: San Miguel de Allende

Mexico is a serious coffee country, from the highlands of Chiapas and Oaxaca to the little cafés tucked into the streets of San Miguel.

Lunch Under the Hacienda Eaves: Villa Santa Mónica

It is peaceful and wonderfully old-fashioned. I always feel as if I am having lunch at someone's wealthy aunt's house.

Craving Pizza & Good Veggies in San Miguel? Try Bennu

Behind a very unassuming door in San Miguel de Allende is Bennu, a low-key little restaurant built around sourdough, slow-fermented pizza and very good vegetables.

A Table Above the Zócalo via 20,000 Pieces of Colored Glass- The Gran Hotel

The stained glass at the Gran Hotel is breathtaking. Mostly blue, it fills the enormous atrium with a prism of color.

Pipicha Santa: Two People, Ten Seats, and a Tostada to Remember

You can see that they are striving, trying to get better, pushing themselves and caring deeply about what they put on the plate. There is something lovely about witnessing that kind of care.

Grab a Table, or Rather a Stool, Above Bellas Artes

Tucked up on the eighth floor is a coffee shop with an outdoor terrace facing directly across at the Palacio de Bellas Artes. The view is incredible.

Odette: Trust Your Food Spidey Sense

Something about this small, rather unassuming bakery pulled us in.

Trinidad Ritual de Sabores- A Taco Pilgrimage in the Middle of Mercado de Coyoacán

I have eaten a lot of great tacos in Mexico. A particular taquería might make a spectacular birria, or a certain stall might have a fantastic taco al pastor. But Trinidad does something harder. They make great tacos across the board.

Masala y Maíz — A Lunch to Riff On

One of the reasons I go to restaurants is to steal ideas. Not recipes exactly, but combinations — a flavour I hadn't thought of putting together, a technique, something that makes me come home and start thinking.

A Seat at the Chef's Table: An Evening with Víctor Toriz Sánchez

We turned up on a rainy night with no reservation and no expectations, and they walked us to the chef's table. That night we happened to get the best seat in the house.

Oahu: Chinatown Is Popping

Honolulu's Chinatown feels alive, which I can't say for a lot of Chinatowns across America — and Senia is the place to grab a table, or better yet, a seat at the bar.

Pasta, Vinilos y One Very Good Ravioli — Zimo, Mexico City

I'm not even a big pasta eater, but the lemon ricotta ravioli got me before I'd taken a bite — candlelight, a record player, and pasta drying in the window.

The Other Pujol

There is something I really like about places that don't make a big fuss about themselves — the corn-and-masa offshoot of Pujol is one of those places.

Koku Condesa

Tables spilling onto the leafy street, and bluefin tuna from the Gulf of Baja. If you see it on a menu, order it.

They really know how to do sauces here. They aren't an afterthought. They are what make the dishes. Take a seat at the bar.

Enrique Olvera's two-Michelin-starred flagship, where we had my birthday lunch. Noah has been dying to try the mole madre forever. It did not disappoint.

Haawm: A Table to Find (A Hidden Dinner Club in Bangkok)

I love anything that feels like a secret. A hidden supper club down a residential soi in On Nut, no ordering required — just Dylan's food, Chow's company, and a long conversation about curry.
