Tulum, Mexico

THE hottest restaurant on the planet wastes no time in making you feel like one of the luckiest diners in the universe. Champagne is poured the second that you are seated, and the first few minutes are a blur of colour and discovery (Pigs shiny with coconut fat! Ice cream that sets the tongue on fire!) as a sea of people introduce you to dishes that you are sure to be talking about well after the restaurant goes dark here, as planned, after a mere seven weeks.

Here is on the sand of the Yucatan Peninsula, under a canopy of palm trees, where one of the world's most renowned chefs has opened his latest pop-up, Noma Mexico.
