COSTA DEL SOL - MARBELLA AREA

Tragabuches - Michelin Restaurant in Ronda in the Costa del Sol.    Only visit if you are an adventurous eater!

Da Brunos - Cabopino, Costa Del Sol.   Consistently good Italian food at reasonable prices

USA

Charlie Trotter's, Chicago, USA.  If you are into Heston Blumenthal and can stand the damage to your wallet, then the experience says it all.

Ristorante Mama Gina, El Paseo, Palm Springs, California.  One of the best rated restaurants in the area, owned and run by the same Italian family for over 25 years.  Authentic Italian cuisine with home-made pastas, breads and puddings.  A fantastic wine list with plenty of choices from Europe and the USA.  This is not a low-cost option but the quality and service is wonderful. 

Kaiser Grill, Downtown, Palm Springs, California.   Excellent location with a relatively simple menu, served efficiently.  The street corner position means that on Thursday night  when the street fair is held you get an excellent view for "people watching" from their raised patio area.  If you go in the cooler months, ask for the granite table with the fire pit in the middle!
