BELGIUM
Celebrating it's 30th anniversary this year, this restaurant is awarded with 3 stars in the Michelin guide and ranked in the world top 50 restaurants!
Yes I am talking of Hof Van Cleve located in Kruishoutem!
Nicknamed the Godfather of Belgium cuisine, Chef Peter Goossens has been leading the brigade since 1987! His mission is to put a smile on the faces of all visitors to his beautiful farmhouse in the fields of Flanders.
Local produce is the backbone of the menu, but it is not limited to this only! Some ingredients from further afield are integrated seamlessly into dishes that balance tradition and modernity!

CANADA
Let’s face it: Canada isn’t exactly known for its haute cuisine. It is so rare to hear any Canadian restaurant making the list of world best! The last one to feature on the list was EIGENSINN FARM in 2003!
But there are some amazing restaurants in Canada and the one I would definitely like to visit is Alo in Toronto!
With Chef Patrick Kriss on the pass, Alo is an unabashed champion of fine dining, combining classical technique, global ingredients and a chic dining room with amazing views of the city.

Synonymous with innovative gastronomic creations, fresh flavours and consistent excellence, he has on his own brought the South African food to the world scene!

The last couple of years we have witnessed an amazing rise of the Peruvian gastronomy! Two of Peru's restaurant actually occupies the first and second place on the world's best Latin restaurant! Really a great achievement!
It was quite difficult to make a choice but in the end I decided to go with Chef Virgílio Martínez’s Central!
Central is now in its third year as No.1 in Latin America and Chef Virgílio Martínez is cooking alongside his head chef and wife, Pía, and says their work/life relationship is “a beautiful thing”.Wow!
Located in Lima, Central is an unmissable part of a voyage in Peru, with its tasting menu travelling from 25 metres below to 4,200 metres above sea level!

The restaurant Vendôme, near Cologne, headed by 3-stars michelin chef Joachim Wissler, is one of the best restaurants in Germany! Well known for his Avant-garde cuisine, chef Joachim Wissler is pushing the boundaries of German cooking in this lovely restaurant!
He is always re-imagining his country’s cuisine using international ingredients and techniques and the result is just wow!!!

@progressivechef
Noted for Belgium! Hope one day I'll get a chance to try it :-) Thanks @progressivechef for sharing this nice info.
You're welcome @ikaputri3! Hof Van Cleve is amongst the best restaurant in the world, and the chef is so creative!
I really hope that a foodie like you gets the chance to try it one day!
Im a complete foodie but I do have to say most of this food looks more like taster samplers! I'd need 12 courses just to touch the sides!! 😂 I'd love to try the underwater restaurant in the Maldives. As for extreme stems..... wtf is that?!!!lol I mean it looks pretty but not something i'd like to eat but hey i'd give it a try! Thanks for the informative post on some of the crazy foods out there to try! 😉
You said it right @donnaincancun, most of the food forms part of long tasting menu, from 7 to 20 courses! I personally have a lot of respect for these chefs, as to reach that level requires a lot of hard work and knowledge! They are artists and really put their heart into their dish!
Thanks for stopping by!
@progressivechef
😲 20 courses... now that might work!! I agree the amount of work that goes into these dishes must be exhaustive. It really is edible art.
Seriously. I was waiting for a big ol' steak serving at some point.
This stuff is the food my food eats.
😂😂😂 the food your food eats!! Pmsl
" Canadian restaurants aren’t recognized outside of Canada because they’re made for Canadians, and Canadians have neglected to create room for fine dining in this country.
We value trends over consistency, and cheap eats over fine dining. Thanks to the rise of street food, truck food, and sharing plates, there are more affordable and delicious meal options than there have ever been. If you can pay $7 for a fried chicken sandwich that will satisfy your cravings, why would you want to spend $300 on lunch? "
Thank you @poias for such a nice comment! I would just add that different people has different views/opinion!
Like myself, I have been in the food industry for 15 years and I know what it means to be able to produce such refined food! These chefs are artists and spend their lifetime learning new techniques to be able to deliver such great dishes!
It is expensive but I think they deserve it too!
Thanks again for stopping by!

Would you believe that I work in the same road as The Test Kitchen?? 😓😓
LDR also has The Shortmarket Club, and The Potluck Club, both of which are supposed to much more affordable. I definitely would like to try one of them soon!
Oh you are so lucky @princessmewmew! If I was in your place, I would make everything possible to go there at least once! Do make a post on it when you go up there!
Haha!! It is expensive my friend!! Half my rent, and I live in the city!!
