Mykonos, WOW Porto and Costa Smeralda – serve up unforgettable dining with a side of style, scenery and summer energy.

BILL&COO, Mykonos

At BILL&COO, The Coast, dining is positioned as a cultural and experiential journey, rooted in Greek tradition while delivered with contemporary refinement. Set along the island’s coastline, BILL&COO’s culinary offering reflects a deep respect for provenance, seasonality and the rituals of Mediterranean food culture.

Central to this is Coozest, the beachfront restaurant that presents a modern interpretation of Greek cuisine, using fresh, locally sourced ingredients and classic flavours approached with precision and restraint. Dishes draw on the rhythms of the Aegean, allowing produce to shine, whether through seafood-led plates, vibrant vegetables, or traditional recipes subtly reworked for a modern palate, all enjoyed in an elegant yet relaxed seaside setting.

For guests seeking a more immersive connection to Greek gastronomy, BILL&COO Mykonos offers a Traditional Farmstead Greek Cooking Class, hosted at a local Mykonian farmhouse. This hands-on experience invites participants to step into rural island life, gathering ingredients directly from the garden, learning techniques such as bread and cheese making, and preparing authentic regional dishes under the guidance of a chef. The experience culminates in a shared meal, offering an intimate insight into the social and cultural role of food in Greek life.

Completing the culinary landscape is Beefbar Mykonos, which brings a playful, cosmopolitan energy to the property. Known for its relaxed beachfront atmosphere, the menu blends premium cuts, seafood and Mediterranean-inspired dishes, creating a dining experience that feels both elevated and accessible.

Together, these experiences position BILL&COO as a compelling culinary destination for travellers interested in authenticity, craftsmanship and place-driven dining, offering everything from refined restaurant experiences to hands-on encounters with Greek culinary heritage.

World of Wine – WOW, Porto

For World of Wine, gastronomy is not an accompaniment to culture; it is the foundation of the entire destination. Set within beautifully restored wine cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia, overlooking the Douro River, WOW brings together museums, wine experiences and an expansive collection of restaurants and bars that celebrate Portugal’s rich culinary and viticultural identity. The district has been conceived as a place where food, wine and storytelling intertwine, inviting guests to explore the country’s heritage through flavour.

Among its standout venues is The Golden Catch, a seafood-led restaurant that pays homage to Portugal’s deep connection to the Atlantic, serving refined fish dishes against a backdrop of sweeping river views. Root & Vine offers a more contemporary, produce-driven approach, pairing seasonal ingredients with an exceptional selection of Portuguese wines, while 1828 Restaurant delivers an elevated dining experience centred on premium meats and carefully sourced local produce, complemented by rare and distinguished bottles.

For those seeking a more relaxed expression of Portuguese cuisine, T&C reinterprets traditional comfort dishes, celebrating classics such as francesinha and bacalhau. Casual bites and lighter fare can be found at PIP, while Angel’s Share provides an intimate space dedicated to Port wine and cocktail experiences, reinforcing WOW’s deep-rooted connection to the region’s winemaking legacy.

These venues position WOW as far more than a dining destination; it is a living showcase of Portugal’s culinary diversity. From fine dining to relaxed, wine-led experiences, each concept reflects a commitment to provenance, craftsmanship and hospitality. The result is a vibrant gastronomic hub where visitors can taste their way through Portugal’s past and present, all within one dynamic cultural quarter.

Costa Smeralda, Sardinia

Mediterranean’s most compelling culinary destinations. Beyond the yachts and beach clubs lies a sophisticated dining scene that effortlessly blends Sardinian heritage with global gastronomy, a place where long lunches stretch into sunset aperitifs, and dinner becomes the main event of the day.

Internationally acclaimed names such as Zuma, Novikov, and Langosteria bring cosmopolitan flair to Porto Cervo, while destinations like Beefbar Cala di Volpe pair refined menus with panoramic coastal views. Alongside these headline names, a strong current of Sardinian authenticity runs through the region’s restaurants, think fresh seafood, fragrant local olive oil, sun-ripened tomatoes and handmade pasta served in garden terraces and dining rooms facing the sea.

Increasingly, Costa Smeralda’s culinary identity is also intersecting with the global conversation around wellbeing. The annual Longevity Fest has further positioned the destination at the forefront of food-meets-wellness, bringing together chefs, nutrition experts and longevity pioneers to explore how Mediterranean ingredients and mindful eating contribute to long-term vitality. Rooted in Sardinia’s Blue Zone heritage, the festival underscores a philosophy already embedded in the region’s kitchens, that exceptional flavour and health-conscious cooking are not mutually exclusive, but naturally aligned.

In Costa Smeralda, dining is both indulgent and intentional, a celebration of place, produce and pleasure, enhanced by a growing emphasis on balance and longevity. It is this duality, glamour paired with grounded Mediterranean wisdom, that makes the destination’s culinary offering as magnetic as its coastline.
