The New Nordic Manifesto suggesta that if an ingredient hadn't been personally picked from a wind-whipped Danish beach, it doesn’t belong on a plate. All of this makes stepping into Marchal feel like a deliciously rebellious act of heresy, for Marchal doesn't care about your foraging basket. It cares about your appetite. 

Nestled within the sleek, modernist sanctuary of The Sense Experience Resort—a five-star health-conscious eco-retreat on the southern Tuscan coast—lies Eaté.

House of Hazelwood’s latest releases – the much-awaited 2026 Charles Gordon Collection, which encompasses four remarkably aged whiskies – is a fascinating world to dive into, and one that’s sure to send enduring ripples across the fine spirits world. I couldn’t have loved them more.

In Medesano, near Parma, Italy, Tenute Venturini Foschi has rekindled local viticultural tradition by specialising in regional varietals. “We began with 24 hectares, all organic,” explains Pier, “We chose this to respect nature; while effective for the wine, because I fell in love with the land.”

Tortello in Bayswater offers refined Italian dining in London, blending elegant interiors with a modern Roman-inspired menu. From handmade pasta and cocktails to indulgent desserts, Tortello delivers a polished yet inviting experience, perfect for dates, group dinners, or special occasions in the city.

That’s the space Tailored Spirits Co. was created to open up, and a quiet revolution has begun to unfold. 

If Bristol has a food scene, it is one characterised by ferocious independence and quiet confidence. No longer is the city on the edge of something bigger – the scene has rocketed to the top of England’s gastro destinations, and it continues to grow from strength to strength. Here’s our much-awaited top 20 for 2026.

I was in Poznan to experience Blow Up Hall – the city’s flagship luxury hotel and its phenomenal Arte Restaurant. With Poznan now attracting flights and visitors from across Europe and the wider world, there’s simply been no better time to flex a bit of high-end hospitality muscle.
