Beefbar
It’s a familiar name in Dubai and every capital city: Beefbar. This month, Riccardo Giraudi’s Paris flagship location is opening with an amazing renovation by Humbert & Poyet. Inspired by the organic shapes and colours of its glass roof, their vision retains the charm of the jewel-like historical landmark.

Ta-ke
Known for his use of bamboo, Japanese architect Kengo Kuma’s first Hong Kong restaurant, Ta-ke, is no exception. This contemporary sushi restaurant was inspired by the Chinese story ‘Seven Wise Men of the Bamboo Grove’, in which the bamboo (také), has healing powers - so they used it in as many ways as possible to create a soothing minimalist atmosphere.Photo: Virgile Simon Bertrand
