This restaurant is amazing! A great selection of innovative dishes with fabulous service.

Caminetti is a cosy family restaurant with a beautiful outside dining area overlooking the Piazza and Arco Della Pace and a delightful traditional interior.

Try the carrot and almond tart and follow up with the theatre that is macaroni heated in a giant parmesan wheel of cheese! Perfectly situated to move on to to some fantastic bars when you have finished your stunning meal.

The best meal we ate in a two-week tour.

If Gerard Depardieu had a love child with Liz McColgan, this is the restaurant that child would manage.

As Parisian as the Seine, as Scottish as Cairngorm, this is a shining gem in a grottier bit of the city.

Great food, great service - well worth looking it out, but do book.

Restaurant in the centre of "Le Panier", the oldest quarter of Marseille.

Always packed, this is a restaurant without menus or, perhaps worryingly, fixed prices.

Expect delicious traditional food: lamb with rosemary, beef, squid, pizza au feu de bois and fresh fish.

For tourists, prices tend to come out at about €25 a head for two courses and wine.

The atmosphere is warm and noisy: go on a Saturday night for maximum fun.

A lovely restaurant just off Soho Square.

Very precise cooking and fantastic flavours.

Arbutus also offers the chance to try any wine (sub 100 pounds) in a 250ml carafe.

The best thing is that, while main courses cost about £15, the set lunch is only £15.50 for three courses.

Staff are young and friendly and you can sit at the bar to eat if you don't want to sit at a table. Ask for seats near the window - it is quite gloomy at the back of the restaurant.

Don't miss. Set up by famous Indian designer Rohit Bal with chef Suvir Savan of the Michelin-starred Devi in New York, and chef Hemant Mathur from India.

Stylish, glam decor, great service, but most important, fabulous food specialising in North Indian Tandoor items.

The French have no idea how to prepare a pizza. Once you've been confronted with a tartiflette topping you'll agree. There is, however, a notable exception to the rule. Chez Mimmo, tucked away in the backstreets of Avignon near Les Halles, is superb and cheap - but then it is owned and run by Italians.

Sushi Samba has restaurants in Miami, Chicago and New York, and combines Peruvian, Japanese and Brazilian cuisine to delicious effect.

It does great drinks, and there’s a lively, buzzing atmosphere.

It’s on Lincoln Avenue too, which makes it a great place to start on a night out.

It’s not horribly expensive, and about three dishes will fill you up. There are sushi hand rolls, maki rolls, Peruvian chicken and corn skewers, ceviche, and local seafood.

My favourite restaurant of all time. Delfina is actually only open one evening a week (Friday) and weekday lunchtimes. It is worth the effort though.

The menu is put together by a chef who really understands flavours- combinations might read oddly on the page, but they taste wonderful.

There are always tons of dishes that we want to try and they are always really different. It's a good place to come to be inspired.

The wine list is not too shockingly priced either.

You can pop in for just a cup of coffee and a biscuit, but, frankly, I'm too greedy to stop at that!

Banyulbufar (or Bañalbufar in Spanish) has a number of excellent restaurants, particularly Son Tomas.

The village has not been taken over by tourism, although day trips to places such as Valldemossa are a must.

A Thai restaurant down the bottom of the Isle of Dogs. I wouldn't come out here for the sake of the restaurant, but if you are out in Greenwich and fancy a riverside cocktail, then it is a short stroll from the foot tunnel or Island Gardens DLR.
Food is good, though not super-cheap (about £9 for a curry and about £2 for rice). Service is friendly.

But really it is all about the location on the river.

This place is tucked away just up from the cathedral.

One of the best restaurants that we've ever been to.

The two fixed price menus are unbelievable value for money. The food is delicate, perfectly prepared and exquisitely presented. Service was not fussy.

Would definitely return.

Homely yet sophisticated Tuscan food in a family setting.

Mountain fare can be a bit turgid but this is wonderful: carpaccio of newly-picked mushrooms with lemon, pasta with hare sauce, guinea-fowl in marsala, fresh home made apple pie...

Down-to-earth presentation; food to die for.

We sampled about ten restaurants in around the national park and this is head and shoulders the best.

An excellent little Vietnamese restaurant in the heart of Kreuzberg.

The menu is limited, but there's a daily specials board in English along with a range of tasty lassi drinks.

The service was impeccable with the food cooked right in front of your eyes.

The best thing is, a meal and a lassi only cost me 8 euros.

Bargain.

At the back of the famous blue lagoon the beach club is on a sandy slowly shelving shore. There are beach bungalows and a camping and caravaning area (unusual in this part of Turkey) and is away from the main tourist resort.

They also host music afternoons with Blues/Jazz/Salsa styles. There is a kids park and good Mediterranean-inspired restaurant and a free bus service from hotels in Olu Deniz & Hisaronu.

Le Filou de Montpellier: a Valpo institution on Cerro Alegre (corner Urriola and Alte Montt). Excellent value and excellent French food run by a son of Montpellier.

Get there early in the evening (Friday and Saturday only) or try to book ahead. Set lunches are cheap and very good.

Allegretto Pizza: Pilcomayo, opposite the Anglican Church. English-run Pizzeria, huge and very good thin crust pizzas, good music, local beer on tap.

Mastodonte: Esmeralda, just down from Plaza Anibal Pinto (downtown Valpo): Absurdly cheap and abundant meals (£1.30 for a huge plate of excellent stewed beef, rice and tomato salad), local beer on tap.

Bistro Cuisine et Vins: Papudo, opposite Hotel Gervasoni-excellent red meat (Argentine), well prepared food and extensive wine list. Pricey by local standards but probably worth it.

Tucked up in the ranges overlooking Melbourne is a series of small villages, most with little restaurants, cafes and bistros. At the small village of Olinda is 'the Cuckoo' restaurant probably one of the best known and famous for its Bavarian (German) based entertainment and food.

It's been there for about 50 years and thrives with families going there for a great night out.

The food? A huge variety of seafood, meats, side dishes, hot and cold. The freshly made pancakes are a favourite for desert, with cream of course!

The music and entertainment? Bavarian with something for all the family.

We found this restaurant provides quick takeaways and decent sit-down dining. The menu covers all the traditional stuff, like pad Thai, satay stir-fries and curries.

You can try Poppy's 'Anna and the King' dish - a combination of Penang curry with mushrooms, tofu and vegies, which apparently won them a food award.
