APRIL/MAY 2019Rio de Janeiro
20
Chill out at no-frills
boteco bars with
cold brews and savory
snacks. Or follow the food
trucks that whip up worldly
dishes. At Oro, chef
Felipe Bronze reimagines
common Brazilian fare in
avant-garde creations.Berlin
18
Wiener schnitzel
and wheat beer are
just the beginning. Look for
hip cocktails like gespritz-
tes (beer with fruit soda),
spicy currywurst, doner
kebab sandwiches, and
jelly-stuffed pfannkuchen
doughnuts.Osaka
15
Nosh on okono-
miyaki—a savory
pancake made with grated
vegetables plus your
choice of add-ins—and
takoyaki, octopus-filled
fried dough. Drink like a
local at sake bars near the
Namba rail stations.Hong Kong
17
Amble through
Temple Street Night
Market or Kowloon’s Sham
Shui Po neighborhood, and
home in on classic Canton-
ese: chee cheong fun (rice
noodle rolls with seasoned
soy sauce) and char siu bao
(buns hiding sweet pork).New Delhi
21
Pick any paratha—
rich, layered flat-
breads—for an old school
experience. An immersion
into modernism, Indian
Accent restaurant plates
favorite flavors in new
forms, such as jackfruit in
a taco of phulka bread.Dubai
10
No matter your
cravings, you
can satisfy them in this
ever-evolving oasis. There’s
stellar seafood at Pierchic,
Arabian cuisine with sword
fighting at Al Hadheerah,
and pop-ups from celebrity
chefs at ultraluxe Enigma.Istanbul
11
A fish sandwich from
the Eminönü neigh-
borhood, where boats grill
their fresh catch, is a must,
as are lamb skewers spiced
with hot urfa pepper and
sweet cubes of Turkish
delight from the 240-year-
old Hacı Bekir candy shop.Singapore
12
Eschew highbrow
kitchens for the food
courts, or hawker centers.
There Chinese, Indian, and
Malay cultures intertwine
to produce intense flavors
such as pungent curried
laksa soup and bak kut teh
(pork ribs cooked in broth).Beijing
19
Peking duck claims
the spotlight (with
good reason), but sharing a
mutton hot pot (shuanyan-
grou) is a more novel
experience. Diners dunk
paper-thin slices of mutton
and vegetables into boiling
broth, then sesame paste.Barcelona
9
Check out the cheeses
and olive oils under
the colorful roof of Santa
Caterina Market. Then
indulge in the Catalan dish
la bomba, a fried ball of
mashed potatoes stuffed
with meat—perfect with a
glass of smooth vermouth.Madrid
13
Bar hop through
Barrio de las Letras
with stops at Taberna La
Dolores and Lamiak. Small
snacks called pintxos bring
big flavors. Enjoy them with
a gin and tonic, a cocktail
Spaniards love dressing up.Shanghai
14
In the tree-lined
streets of the
French Concession, pop
into whichever café strikes
your fancy. Sample cuisine
from across China, making
sure to order the addictive
xiao long bao, steamed
dumplings filled with broth.Las Vegas
16
Top toques light up
the Strip, from José
Andrés to Joël Robuchon.
Step away from the glitz for
a riot of Hawaiian food (go
for poke and Spam musubi
at Island Sushi), which
helped the city earn the
nickname “Ninth Island.”In Madrid’s Barrio de las
Letras, skewer-spiked
pintxos top a bar.APRIL/MAY 2019Rio de Janeiro
