From Seoul to Manila, Asia’s biggest cities can feel overwhelming — but their density of people, cultures and cuisines is exactly what makes them extraordinary places to eat.

From wind-brushed sandbanks in the North Sea to the fog-laced cliffs of the Faroe Islands, newly home to a Two-Star restaurant, these are our MICHELIN Guide-mapped islands that offer a quieter kind of romance and lots of great dining experiences that you won’t forget in a hurry.

Dive into our 2025 travel and dining guide, highlighting must-visit destinations and culinary hotspots—both established and emerging.
