I love this private club in London. The space is quite intimate.

Koi
Koi—in L.A. near Melrose—is a popular Japanese restaurant. I have their tuna served with crispy rice at least once a week.

Nobu
In New York, I dine at Nobu. The food is great, especially the spicy tuna hand roll.

The Ivy
The tarte tatine is amazing and the mint tea made with fresh mint leaves. Dining outside is very transporting—it makes me feel as though I'm in Italy or France.

Quan Ju De
In Beijing, everyone goes to this authentic restaurant to have the Peking Duck—it's the only dish they serve and it's unbeatable.
