EXTRAORDINARY PLACES TO EAT AROUND THE WORLD
IF YOU’VE EVER WANTED TO DINE BENEATH THE INDIAN OCEAN OR IN A TANZANIAN CRATER, YOU’RE IN LUCK. WORDS: JOE YOGERST
In search of the world’s most intriguing meals, Texas chef Kristen Kish dives into destinations that are well off the beaten culinary path for National Geographic’s new TV show Restaurants at the End of the World. But you don’t have to be an intrepid chef to find dining spots where the surrounding environment is just as extraordinary as what’s on the plate.
Restaurante El Diablo, Canary Islands, Spain At Lanzarote’s Restaurante El Diablo, food is cooked by superheated steam escaping from an active volcano vent in Timanfaya National Park. Built with basalt from the volcano’s eruptions, El Diablo’s open-air grill barbecues meat and seafood at temperatures between 450C and 500C. Beyond carnivorous delights, the circular
eatery serves island favourites like ‘wrinkled’ arrugada potatoes with mojo sauce, made with small papas bonitas.

The Main Restaurant, Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania At Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge, the crater-rim dining room offers bird’s eye views of the Ngorongoro Crater’s wildlife, more than 2,000 feet below. The restaurant’s stone walls, glowing firepit and reproduction cave art create an ambience that reminds diners that nearby Olduvai Gorge was one of the cradles of humankind. The menu includes locally sourced dishes, such as marinated tilapia and Kilimanjaro coffee panna cotta.
