Best Restaurant Location

 

The Old Forge, Inverie, Knoydart, Scotland

This Scottish Highlands pub, close to Ben Nevis, was named the most remote pub in mainland Britain by Guinness World Records. The Old Forge can only be reached via a 18-mile (29km) hike or via a sea crossing to the village of Inverie on the Knoydart Peninsula. It opens seasonally, so those who fancy dining on locally-caught, sustainable seafood in the middle of nowhere should check before starting the journey.

Little A’Le’Inn, Rachel, Nevada, USA

Guests might experience a close encounter of the third kind when visiting this restaurant, shop and small inn – but everything else is far, far away. Because Little A’Le’Inn in Rachel, which has a population of fewer than 100, is in the middle of the Nevada desert off the “Extraterrestrial Highway”, en route to Area 51. The restaurant serves up Alien Burgers, fries, stories about alien sightings and advice on the best spots for watching the skies.

MY WIFE SENT ME A TEXT SAYING, “YOUR THE BEST!”

To which I replied, “No, you’re the best!”

She’s been on cloud 9 ever since, feeling so loved and in love.

Treepod Dining, Soneva Kiri, Koh Kood, Thailand

Reaching this restaurant on Koh Kood, off Thailand’s southeast coast, starts with a 90-minute flight from Bangkok airport to a private island owned by Soneva Kiri resort, where these dining treepods are located. Even then there’s still a speedboat ride to reach the resort itself, so naturally most people sleep over. It’s well worth the trek, though: diners are nestled in their own bamboo pods, which hang amid the trees with bay views, while traditional Thai dishes are delivered by waiting staff via zipline.

Mil, Moray, Peru

Virgilio Martínez earned his reputation for innovative Peruvian cuisine at his restaurant Central in Lima, where each course of the tasting menu reflects a different altitude in the country from the sea to the Andes. Mil takes things to a whole new level, both in terms of the menu – focused on roots, tubers, herbs and fruit grown by Andean communities at high altitude – and location. The restaurant is in Peru’s Sacred Valley, 11,706 feet (3,568m) above sea level and surrounded by farming villages

Furneaux Restaurant & Comptoir, Furneaux, New Zealand

Resting right on the banks by Endeavour Inlet and accessible only by foot, boat or helicopter, Furneaux is part of a resort of the same name. Located on the popular Queen Charlotte Track long-distance trail on the northern tip of New Zealand’s South Island, those who make the effort are well rewarded. The menu is all about local produce, from green-lipped mussels to wild-caught game, served with Marlborough wines. The setting, surrounded by mountains and with views over the water, is unbeatable.
