Bread & Bone
Want something a little more different than the usual beef patty burgers? Why not opt for this gourmet filling of crunchy battered soft shell crab amongst fresh shredded iceberg lettuce and watercress and just the right amount of roasted chilli kewpie mayo between a sweet brioche bun.

Modinetti
Two perfectly cooked eggs with runny yolks still intact in a pool of intensely flavoured tomato sauce with Italian sausage and 3 pieces of crunchy bread to mop up all the goodness. A bold and vibrant dish to kick start any day.

Island Creek Oyster Bar
Where else would you find the freshest oysters in town except at the restaurant run by the oyster farm itself? Find Island Creek oysters from Duxbury along with other local farmers, and a fresh New England seafood menu that changes daily in this sleek restaurant in Kenmore. The wine list is equally impressive.

O Ya
At O Ya, the fresh sushi is garnished with sauces from both Japanese traditions (think moromi, the unfiltered fermentation product of sake brewing) to non-traditional (banana pepper mousse). The omakase offers creative takes on sushi and sashimi, followed by an excellent wagyu steak, and a foie gras sushi paired with aged sake. A must visit in Boston, but don't look for purist sushi.

Bowery to Williamsburg
This popular breakfast and brunch spot in Melbourne does a killer Reuben sandwich - a mountain of pastrami with great spicing and plenty of lovely fat, topped with Swiss cheese and Russian dressing, on untoasted rye.

Les Gourmandises Restaurant
That guinea-fowl was one of the specials and an excellent dish. It was served with lentils, black pudding, caramelised walnuts, potato fondant and pureed beetroot. Absolutely superb flavours and so well cooked. Rare enough on menus here but this is worth a visit!

El Tiempo Cantina Washington
We enjoy the Beef Fajitas at El Tiempo for one reason and one reason only: they always taste the exact same - delicious! They come to your table piping hot, and stay that way the entire meal; thanks to the Anafre, portable grill, which they are served upon. You can get beef, chicken, pork, and/or a mixed grill for those that want to sample a little bit of everything: chicken and beef fajitas, baby back ribs, sausage, shrimp, quail, pork, and a lobster tail. We usually get a combination of the mesquite-grilled beef and chicken fajitas, but the beef have our hearts. They are served with Charro Beans and El Tiempo’s famous green rice as side dishes.
