Restaurants worth going an extra mile for

As if the Maldives aren’t a special enough location, Fresh in the Garden brings you the most spectacular mise en scène of any restaurant, with diners seated high above the Soneva Fushi gardens around a central open kitchen, like a magical treehouse in the treetops. Danish chef Mads Refslund is currently there for a 12-month residency, catering for all diets from plant-based to gluten-free. His interpretation of New Nordic cuisine with local produce includes sprouted coconut and caviar, grilled squid with braised seaweed, and sour banana parfait.
