Open 24 hours a day since 1947, this whole-hog brasserie is rumored to have no light switches nor door locks, because it never closes.

The Ballymaloe House is a historic country estate and hotel run by the family of Myrtle Allen, the Michelin-starred chef who is often referred to as the matriarch of modern Irish cuisine.

Seasonal ingredients from the estate’s 300-acre farm and seafood landed a few miles away are prominent on the menu.

This traditional Israeli restaurant in Jaffa offers the finest quality meats, and is especially known for its citrus charcoal-grilled beef and lamb chops. Over 20 types of salad, homemade bread and pita, hummus, shakshuka, falafel, fresh fish, and fine wines make up the menu. It’s the perfect place for a family-style feast, but be careful not to fill up on dozens of tantalizing mezze plates before the kebabs arrive.

The best jerk shop in Jamaica is the open-air barbecue joint Scotchies in Montego Bay. A thatched-roof tiki bar and keg barrel seats add to the island charm of this ultra-laid-back eatery. Chargrilled chicken, pork, and fish are tender and cooked to perfection along with traditional sides like breadfruit, festival (a sweet bread similar to hush puppies), rice and peas, and yams.
