 | | 08/24/14 Super Ate Eight New Restaurants Worth the Jet Lag You’re going to have to eat something while you travel. Might as well be at one of the most celebrated new restaurants in the world. Here then, eight of the globe’s top new kitchens. And the dining rooms that go with them. | | | |  | | | LONDON, ENGLAND | | Rivea London | | | The Pedigree: Alain Ducasse and his three Michelin stars, combined with the Bulgari Hotel, of, well, Bulgari fame.
